Default Ok. What van?

I/We want a new van or pickup.

Pickup(tipper): Easy to throw stuff on, ideal to put bricks on and sand
Down side is nothing is secure when parked on job

Van. Awkward to put bricks in but can be done same with sand. Tools are relatively secure on job

So i dont know what to go for. Pickup is more ideal for my job, BUT it could be a pain with the not leaving stufff on the back thing

How long is a transit LWB? Or Vivaro LWB?

Any reccomendations on vans/tippers?

Lee..

Lee,i had trhe same problem when i set up.
IO decided on the tipper,until i had a sthil saw nicked off the back whilst packing up one noght .Only left the thing for 20 secs in a culdesac
I now have a Transit LWB high top 350. Can get a palet of bricks in no problem, if need be also 2 bulk bags .can fit 3,4m lengths in the back 4m diagonal
At the end of the day it is easy to get stuff delivered to site mate ,i would go for the security

Its not really the materials its the tube n clip scaffolding we have and battens. If the lwb is long enough for 13ft poles and battens i might go for that?
