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.

"We have used Vanaways on two occasions now and the customer service has always been great. I contacted them as our team grew and withing 2 weeks we had the vans in our yard. Quick and efficient service all round. Tyler in the delivery department kept me up to date throughout the process. Would certainly recommend."

"Staff here are so courteous & helpful, genuine in how they talk rather than that dreaded ‘business speak’. Reception and offices are modern & relaxing to be in, very cool music in background too! Some place just give you the basics - but I found Vanaways completely charming throughout, really appreciated thank you."

"Vanaways is really great, from contacting them up to the delivery can't be smoother than it was. These guys are professionals and I believe the best in the industry. Thanks to Philip Jones, Ross Davies, Jihad Khan and one or two individuals I had contact with throughout the process. I recommend Vanaways and will use them again."
