The most vulnerable part of the load area is the metal side panels, which can all too easily get dented by a shifting load, like a cement mixer. To protect it, you’ll need to a fit plywood lining, which you can either do yourself or pay an aftermarket firm to do it for you.

I’d also recommend using the van’s anchor rings to tie down heavy loads and stop them shifting from side to side. If you do all his, your van should stay protected.
