Van Buying Guide
Everything you need to know when buying a van
There are so many different types of vans on the market, luckily they’re very specifically made to their drivers needs, so narrowing down to the type of van you need shouldn’t be difficult.
Types of van:
Panel Van
Typically panel vans have 2 to 3 seats in the front and cargo space with no windows in the back, available in both short and long wheelbase options depending on the size of your load. Perfect for transporting goods or materials.
Luton and box vans
These are the vans that basically look like a box on wheels, they're also higher off the ground than a panel van, the benefits of this is that you won't sacrifice any cargo space for the wheel arches. Luton and box vans are very similar, but the main difference is that a Luton's cargo space stops at the passenger cab, whereas the box continues over the top.
Flatbeds and tippers
As the name says a flatbed typically has a flat open load space with shallow sides behind the passenger cab, a flatbed becomes a tipper when a hydraulic mechanism is added to tip the flatbed to help make emptying easier, some flatbeds also come with drop sides to make loading and emptying easier.
Pick-ups
Designed closer to a car, but with the versatility and capabilities of a van, pick-ups can be configured in lots of ways. You'll find both single and double cab options as well as open or enclosed load spaces.
