Best vans for transporting commercial goods
Vans are an important asset for many businesses and can help support daily operations. If you rely on transport during your working week, a business van can be invaluable. But what is the best van for transporting commercial goods?
What type of van is best for moving commercial goods?
The type of van you need will first depend on your business needs. Small vans are likely to be the best option if you run a delivery or courier service. They’ll have enough load space to carry parcels safely and still be easy to manoeuvre around urban areas.
If you’re a self-employed tradesperson, medium or large vans are popular. They meet the varying needs of your business and offer an optimal balance of load space and efficiency. However, choosing the right van for your business depends on your individual needs and the type of commercial goods you transport.
Things to consider when leasing a van for transporting commercial goods
When looking for a van to transport commercial goods, Synergy would suggest considering:
- Fuel economy – think about fuel efficiency and how you can limit running costs
- Payload – the maximum size and weight a van can carry/transport
- Van wheelbase – choose the right combination of length, height, and width.
