Transporter size for craftsmen: not too small, not too big
For craft businesses, the right size determines whether the tools, materials and team can cope every day without improvisation.
A compact van is maneuverable, a large panel van creates reserves. The best solution lies in the actual workflow.

Auto Bluhm is not based in Hannover, but in Hamburg-Moorfleet. For buyers from Hannover, the specialized inventory can still be useful if several van variants are to be compared.
Plan size according to trade and material
Painters, electricians, plumbing businesses, assembly teams and gardeners need different vehicles. It's not just cubic meters that are important, but access, order and payload.
| Profile | Often the right size | Important question |
|---|---|---|
| Customer service | Compact van | Is there enough organized storage space for tools and spare parts? |
| Assembly | Long panel van or high roof | Do you need to take long components or shelving systems with you? |
| Construction site | Doka, flatbed or large transporter | Do the team and equipment travel together? |
| Service fleet | Uniform vehicle class | Can maintenance and equipment be standardized? |
Too big can be disruptive in everyday life
More cargo space always sounds good, but it can make parking, maneuverability and fuel economy worse. Anyone who often works in city centers should also take access, loading zones and maneuvering into account.
- Compare the wheelbase and roof height with typical locations.
- Evaluate payload instead of just cargo volume.
- Include sliding doors, rear access and interior fittings in the decision.
- Plan a reserve, but do not buy an unused vehicle size.
