Our Trade-Friendly Fleet: From LWB Vans to Tippers and Flatbeds
We’ve built our fleet to handle all kinds of jobs, big and small, whether you’re a builder moving heavy tools, or a landscaper shifting loads of soil, we’ve got the right van for you.
LWB Vans – Space and Stability
Our Long Wheelbase vans are ideal for trades needing extra cargo space. They’re popular for plumbing, electrical, and carpentry work, offering plenty of room for big sets of ladders, plumbing pipes or bulky toolboxes. It’s essentially the all rounder builders van. Easy to drive, economical on fuel, and perfect for local deliveries or multi site work across Kent.
Flatbed Vans – Open and Versatile
If you’re transporting budling materials, pallets, or large items that won’t fit into a closed van, our flatbed vans are a great option. With an open ack design, they’re easy to load with a forklift or by hand, making them ideal for construction and landscaping trades.
Tipper Vans – Built for Heavy Work
When you’re shifting soil, gravel, or waste from jobsites, a tipper van is going to be your best option. Our tippers are clean, tough, and powerful, equipped with hydraulic lifts to make unloading fast and safe. They’re a favorite among builders, gardeners and groundwork teams across Kent.
Each vehicle in our fleet is kept in top condition because the last thing any tradesperson needs is a breakdown halfway through a job. You can see our full range here: View Our Vans
Supporting Kent’s Local Trades and Small Businesses
As a local company, we know how important trades are to Kent’s economy. From Canterbury’s construction crews to Medway’s maintenance teams, you keep this county running and we’re proud to support you.
That’s why we go beyond simple vehicle hire. We work closely with local trades, offering:
Custom hire plans for repeat or long-term customers
Priority bookings for regular clients
Flexible payment options for business accounts
Our goal isn’t just to rent you a van, it’s to help your business stay productive, reliable, and mobile.
Tips for Choosing the Right Van for Your Trade
Choosing the right van isn’t always easy. Here are a few quick tips from our experience helping hundreds of Kent tradespeople every year.
Match van size to your load. SWB (Short Wheelbase) is great for tools and light gear, LWB suits longer or heavier materials, tippers handle the dirty work.
Think about access. If you’re working in tight sites around Canterbury or Maidstone, a smaller van might make parking and navigation easier.
Plan for efficiency. A van that’s too small means extra trips. One that’s too big might waste fuel, so balance space and cost.
Book early during busy periods. Demand peaks in summer and around year-end, so secure your van early to avoid delays.
If you’re not sure what you need, give us a call or message us through our website and we’ll help match you with the best option for your trade.
