Load space, load securing and cleaning belong together
In catering, it's not just whether something fits in the van that counts. What is important is whether crates, boxes and equipment are secure, whether the loading space is easily accessible and whether the interior can be kept clean. Depending on the application, a large panel van, a box body or a van with a higher roof may make sense.
Used vehicles should therefore not only be evaluated visually. The loading floor, side walls, lashing strips, rear doors, sliding door, interior height and smell in the loading area say a lot about its future suitability for everyday use.
| Use | Typical load | Important checkpoint |
|---|---|---|
| Catering | Insulated boxes, crates, dishes, consumables | clean cargo space, tie-downs and access |
| Hotel supplies | Laundry, supplies, roll containers | Load space height, floor and door opening |
| Event logistics | Technology, decoration, tripods, cases | Load securing and internal length |
| Trade fair / construction | long parts, tools, material | Wheelbase, interior height and payload reserve |
Which vehicle direction is suitable?
A Volkswagen Crafter can be interesting for catering and event logistics if more loading space, interior height or expansion reserve is required. A Ford Transit or Mercedes-Benz Sprinter can also fit, depending on the equipment. For difficult tasks and construction solutions, an IVECO Daily can also be considered.
But the decision shouldn't start with the model name. It is better to have a list with box dimensions, weight, typical tours, loading points and team size. It then becomes clearer whether a medium-sized van, a large panel van or a body-on vehicle makes more sense.
