Top Uses For A Low Loader Van

When purchasing a van for work, daily use or travelling for pleasure, there is likely to be a lengthy list of desirable features and no-no’s to consider. With certain models manufactured with tradespeople in mind, and others designed for family trips, there are few vans as versatile and practical as low loaders. Within this blog, some of the top uses for low loader vans will be discussed, with Van Sales UK the ideal leasing, new van and vehicle hire experts to consult. If you’re looking for premium vans for sale such as the Renault Kangoo, Ford Transit Tipper or Citroen Berlingo, you’re in the right place.

Low Loader Vans Explained

A low loader van is a multi-purpose vehicle which maintains widespread use for various purposes due to the lower floor and increased payload capacity. A tail lift is not required when using a low loader van, because the rear loading height is low enough to easily lift items manually. Easy entry and access with freedom to load many items into the vehicle without assistance make these new vans ideal for jobs that require regular delivery drops. Struggling with awkward and heavy loads is a thing of the past.

Ideal For Removal Jobs

A removal job will often involve the transportation of many items within a short period of time, with the need to securely and quickly load often heavy objects and furniture into a vehicle. The low loader excels with these jobs, whereas a similar model of van without the low loader’s capabilities may require lifting machinery or additional manpower to transport objects from A to B.

Transporting Heavy Loads

Typically a low loader will be able to transport larger loads, with a payload capacity of over 1000kg. The additional space means fewer journeys, with a Van Sales UK low loader perfect for transporting heavy building materials. Known often as ‘the easy movers’, low loaders have long been the choice for haulage companies and ‘man with a van’ services.

Conversion

Whether you’re looking to start a local dog-walking service or would like to install a converted horsebox into the back of your van, low loaders may be the answer due to their load capacity, easy access and widespread availability.

"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."

"First time leasing with Vanaways, but have leased before. Initial contact was with Justin, who found the van I need very quickly at a competitive price. No hard sell, and seamless. Yasmine completed the admin and arranged delivery. Great service from both. Follow up calls to see if I was satisfied with van. Professional and efficient, would highly recommend."

"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!"
