Title: new van required
Post by: stephen donald on January 25, 2014, 07:39:30 pm

I'm looking to get a new van for my window cleaning round but not too large as the driver will be a newbie to the driving scene.Any suggestions for a good second hand vehicle that can take a 750 litre tank safely.Currently the set up is in a transit which is currently multitasking.Cheers Steve

just stick with that sized van, 750litres of water = 750kg, plus the weight of the tank, equipment, persons etc and you will be touching the 1 tonne mark and thats the maximum these vans will take.

transit RWD/Merc Sprinter is the best for distributing this kind of weight but will be too large for your newbie unless you want insurance claims for dents etc.

Double check the driver is aloud to drive a van!,,,,,

Found out this week that new drivers are not aloud to drive a van for first year driving, little vans are fine connect etc, but not transit size
