Low Loader vs Luton Van: What Do I Need?

With so many vans on the market, it can be tricky knowing which make and model is right for you. However, two options that you should consider are low loader vans deals and Luton vans, especially if you’re in the removals trade. These vans are easy to load, practical and have more than enough space to suit all kinds of jobs.

Here’s all you need to know about two of the best removal vans available.

What is a Luton van?

The Luton van is a large and robust vehicle that is a great addition to any removal fleet. Plus, if you’re looking for a van with a tail lift then you’ll be glad to know that some models come with this feature so heavy loads can be easily lifted.

Why are Luton vans a good option?

There are many benefits to considering Luton van deals, such as:

  • More than enough space: The size of a van is very important as you need enough room to be able to do your job correctly. Luton vans are large enough to easily carry large items so you haven’t got to worry about cramming everything into the back.
  • Convenient tail lift: Even with enough hands on deck, sometimes you need extra help when moving items such as large pieces of furniture. The tail lift lowers so you can safely load up the platform and move everything into the back safely.
  • Additional cabin storage: As well as having plenty of space at the back, Luton vans allow you to separate goods from the rest of the van in the enclosed box space which extends over the cabin.

What is a low loader van?

Low loader van deals include a fantastic range of vehicles that are also known as ‘the easy movers’. Since the rear loading height is low enough to easily lift items into the van without one.

Why are low loader vans a good option?

There are many advantages to considering low loader van deals, such as:

  • Loading the van is easy: Low loader vans are distinctive because of their lower loading height. You won’t need to overexert yourself or operate unsafely as moving items from A to B is easier than ever.
  • A tail lift is not needed: Since low loader vans are designed to make loading easy, they do not require a tail lift. Not only does this mean less maintenance but low loader vans are just as practical as Luton vans.

"First time using Vansaway! I was in a bit of a panic as my van broke down and I was unable to fix it. My van is my livihood, so I looked into leasing and contract. I wish I done it sooner. I spoke to Jonathan as my first point of contact. I couldn't have got any luckier having him as my support. He was absolutely fantastic, he went above and beyond to help me. He was easy to contact and would always reply when I had any concerns or questions. His knowledge on all vehicles was impeccable, which made things easier. He listened to what I wanted and needed and explained everything thoroughly help me making the right choice in plan and kept in touch throughout the entire process! He knew I was in desperate need of a van and he did not disappoint and kept his word and I was able to get my new van delivered as soon as possible. Enjoying the drive. Its great about the perks involved in having a contract hire as well! Thank you so much for everything! Highly recommend, vans are just not how they use to be, so its great to have a brand new van along with the support of any engine faults things like that. A huge stress off my shoulders being sole trader."

"I recently bought a new car from this company and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. Tyler and Steve C were both brilliant to deal with – friendly, professional and incredibly helpful throughout the whole process. They took the time to answer all my questions and made everything straightforward and stress-free. The customer service was excellent and I never felt pressured at any point. Both Tyler and Steve C really went above and beyond to make sure everything was sorted and that I was happy with the car. I couldn’t recommend them enough and would definitely buy from them again in the future. Thanks again for such a great experience!"
