K9-C27-XLExtended K9 Transport System For 2021-2024 Chevrolet Suburban – White

Our HVAC option PT-A-406 is compatible with both the ProMaster OEM HVAC non-prep package van and the prep package van; however, OEM prep package fittings are not used if the prep package is chosen.

Prisoner transport inserts are designed for cargo vans with windows in the doors only. The insert would fit into a window van if parts of the interior were removed or modified, but it is not recommended.

This van is also known as a “jumbo” van. Single and double compartment inserts will work, but the 120″ long triple compartment inserts would need to be positioned further forward, so the prisoner transport side compartment door will open. This van also has a high roof that our inserts are not designed for. The large overall size of this van has proven not to be a desirable chassis for most prisoner transport applications and is not recommended.

For many years, we have recommended only one PT-A-921 power vent for any insert configuration. This has proven to be adequate for exhausting undesirable odors. Additional power vents can be installed if desired, but it is not necessary for most applications. If you choose to block off the upper mesh area of the rear insert doors with the optional PT-A-913 cover panel, then additional vents should be considered. Roof power vents are not an adequate solution for air conditioning.

Sound deadening material with insulation qualities has proven to be very important if you want to minimize noise and maximize HVAC efficiency. Many different methods to solve these concerns have been tried and tested. The material used for the PT-A-904 is 1″ thick foam with a Mylar moisture barrier. It also includes pre-applied adhesive, so the installer only needs to measure, cut, peel backing paper and stick to the walls of the van. Spray on foam or fiberglass insulation is not recommended.

We highly recommend installing a ½” plywood sub-floor under the insert. This will provide the desired flat surface over top of the OEM ribbed metal floor. The plywood also greatly reduces interior road noise. Plywood is not provided with the insert and must be supplied by the installer. Rubber matting between the OEM floor and insert is NOT recommended, because it will trap moisture and can compress over time, causing floor screws to loosen.

The OEM bumper includes backup sensors that work with the standard prisoner transport rear step, but the sensors detect the optional flip step when it is in the stowed/closed position. The flip step can be used; however, it will require the driver to push the OEM sensor deactivation switch every time the van is in reverse. In addition to the sensor issue, the ProMaster cargo floor is lower to the ground than other vans, because it has front wheel drive, which allows the cargo floor to be lower. If the flip step where used, it would be approximately 5″ off the ground.

​​Old prisoner transport inserts cannot be used in ProMaster vans, because the wheel wells are too tall to fit underneath the prisoner bench. The new 60″ high inserts include 16″ high bench seats for proper clearance in ProMaster van applications.

2015 and newer Ford Transit Van

• C-2410 with C-B68

2014 and newer Dodge Ram ProMaster Full Size Van

• C-2410 with C-TMW-PRO-01

Current 50″ high inserts will fit into 2004-2014 Ford Econoline or 2004-2024 Chevy Express vans. Depending on what OEM air conditioning system the vehicle has, some fittings may be difficult to locate.

You have 2 installation options. If you have your own installation facility, you can follow our step-by-step instructions to assemble the insert yourself. You can also contact a Havis reseller to install your prisoner transport insert.

The trailer hitch must be removed in order to mount the Prisoner Transport Standard Rear Step.

The OEM side step or running board must be removed in order to mount the Prisoner Transport Side Slide Out Step.

The rear step provided with the prisoner transport inserts will work with OEM regular bumpers and rear step bumpers.

Windows are recommended in the rear doors. If using the passenger side entrance for prisoners, we also recommend windows the side doors. This allows the officer to see the prisoners prior to opening the doors and minimizes the possibility of someone getting sick in the back.

Inserts are shipped partially pre-assembled on one or two pallets. This ensures that all parts are included, and that they fit properly. It also ensures the product arrives undamaged. Freight costs will vary, depending on the size of the unit purchased and its destination. (Note: Assembly is required for installation into your van.)

Depending on your particular job requirements, installation should take about 10 hours for the smaller jobs and up to 26 hours for a very large, complex installation. Plan for additional hours for optional equipment. See product pages for estimated install times. We recommend that installers preview instructions found on the website.

GVWR = Gross Vehicle Weight Rating

The higher the GVWR, the more weight carrying capacity (payload) the vehicle will have. It is important not exceed the OEM maximum payload. If the vehicle is overloaded, it could affect the handling, braking and/or cause premature need for repairs. Van chassis with the highest GVWR are always recommended.

The new number system for the main inserts will now include a vehicle specific code to differentiate and simplify what parts are included for different model vehicles. The length and compartment configurations are also described in the new part number.
