5 Recommended Vans For Tradespeople

The work van is a staple for a tradesperson. It doesn’t matter what specialist tools and expensive equipment they have if they can’t transport it. That is why it is important that a tradesperson picks a van type that is suitable for their specific trade and meets the requirements of your industry.

Buying or leasing a commercial van is a big commitment if you’re an individual, so you should carefully consider your options before you decide on a vehicle.

Here are five recommended vans for tradespeople.

Mercedes-Benz Sprinter

A Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is perfect if you’re transporting a lot of goods, such as tools or cargo. You can get models with high roofs that will enable you to transport more, or tipper options if you have goods that won’t fit inside a regular panel van. The Mercedes-Benz e-Sprinter is also available.

Volkswagen Caddy

If you’re looking for a small van with great fuel efficiency, a Volkswagen Caddy may be what you’re after. They’re perfect if you don’t have a lot to transport around all the time but occasionally need the space. For those seeking an electric van, the e-Caddy is the choice for you.

Ford Transit

If you’re looking for a van with plenty of roof, wall and floor space to store a lot of tools, a Ford Transit is an ideal option. Environmental impact on your mind? Well, the e-Transit boasts the same performance but without pollutants being produced.

Citroen Dispatch

Sometimes it can be hard to load and unload a van when it only has one door. The Citroen Dispatch has great access, with sliding doors at the rear and side giving great manoeuvrability when loading bulky items. The Citroen e-Dispatch has the same great storage accessibility while being an electric van instead.

Fiat Doblo

If you’re a tradesperson who has to travel quite a distance often, you want to find a van that offers great efficiency and reliability. The Fiat Doblo has amazing fuel efficiency while also boasting a lot of storage space for tools or other cargo. For even better efficiency and environmental impact, consider the Fiat e-Doblo instead.

"First class service, I must mention Adrian & Ash on an excellent deal & swift turn around under the short notice I had to buying a new van. Slight delay in the delivery of the van from manufacturers end but Adrian agreed to cover the cost of a hire van until my new van was delivered which allowed me to continue working. its the first time i've purchased a van without physically entering a dealership and i wouldn't hesitate to do it again."
