Hi guys. I am new on here and have a LWB Luton van without a tail lift. Is there much suitable work for Luton vans on this site?

I would say about as rare as rocking horse sh1t

TBH I would think that is the vehicle to buy when asked to provide a service that warrants it, rather than buying one and looking for work for it.

That's plain enough. I already own the vehicle though and will still look out for any return loads from where I deliver.

I would have gone for the tail lift.

We have a Luton tail lift and to be honest it is on the road 95% of the time.

A good tip however is "DO NOT GET INVOLVED IN HOUSE REMOVALS" Loads of headache for little return.

We did one in 2004 and never again.

The trouble with tail lifts is that it takes away a lot on your payload.

We have LWB vans and 4.5. Iveco's

Still the tail lift is in huge demand as they are quite specialised.

We even moved the Throne from sky TV'S series Game of Thrones. It could only have been done with a tail lift.
