What Is A Low Loader?

A low loader van is a specific model of box or Luton van that is designed to have a particularly low chassis. This helps to boost the vehicle’s payload whilst making the loading area of the van closer to the ground for easy access. This means that items can be loaded and unloaded without the need for an additional tail lift. Low loaders can also be fitted with interior rails, ties and storage compartments to make transportation easier.

Top Uses For A Low Loader Vehicle

Low loader vans are typically used for the transportation of fragile goods that need to be unloaded carefully. As such this kind of vehicle is popular amongst those delivering a dependable courier service. This model of van is also useful for home removal services, where it allows for furniture and fragile items to be moved with ease. Industries that call for heavy equipment to be manoeuvred may also benefit from the low chassis of this van.

"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!

"VWS Limited recently leased three vans through Vanaways, and we could not fault the service we received. Rod in Sales and Ash in Delivery were both extremely professional, knowledgeable, and helpful throughout the entire process. They made every aspect of arranging the leases straightforward and kept us informed every step of the way. We are delighted with our new vehicles and would have no hesitation in recommending Vanaways to anyone looking for a professional, efficient, and customer-focused vehicle leasing service.
