Long story short, our charity collects used furniture to sell in our shops and currently has the use of two box Luton vans, one is VW based and not sure the other.
Thinking of getting our own van - is the "Luton box" still the way to go for furniture removals or are there different , more practical options available now. With Lutons you kind of need a taillift of some sort which adds weight, complexity, servicing etc not to mention the fact that everything is getting lifted up.
Now see more and more vans that seem to have decent heights but from ground level as opposed to a box on top of the chassis. I would guess one downside would be this must give some sort of wheelarch intrusion but might not be an issue with us.
The plus side of the Luton is it is big enough to allow us to do a few collections at once due to the size but the reality maybe is that we don't actually do that too often.
Any thoughts?
