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.

"Very happy with our Vanaways transaction! We needed three new vans quickly for our company and Vanaways didn't disappoint. Hannah and Abbie were on hand every step of the way and provided extremely good prices which suited our business. Customer service is a priority for them and it shows with every phone call and email! When I need a few more, they will be my first port of call. Thankyou guys!"

"Great service right from the first contact with Reece, who then passed me onto Ash once initial sale was completed. From making payment delivery was approximately 3 days. Received text from Nathan this morning (16th June) and he was on time with delivery. Really pleased with the service I've received. Many thanks!"

"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."
