Specialist Van Hire: Dropside Vans & Luton Tail Lift Vans made simple
Not every job suits a standard panel van. When you need faster loading, safer handling, or a more practical body type for awkward items, a specialist van can make the work easier - and help you get more done in a day with fewer headaches.
Our specialist options focus on two of the most useful van types for real-world work: dropside vans for open access and site materials, and Luton tail lift vans for heavier, bulkier loads that benefit from a powered lift. You get the right tool for the job without overcomplicating the hire.
Dropside vans are ideal for builders, landscapers and trades who need to load from the side or rear - perfect for timber, boards, aggregates, fencing and bulky materials. Luton tail lift vans are made for removals, appliances, pallets and large deliveries, helping you lift and load safely without relying on extra manpower or risky manual handling.
Choose flexible hire from 7 days up to 4 years+ with fixed costs, servicing support and 24/7 breakdown cover to keep you moving. Collection is from our Halifax depot at Spaniard Hall Farm, Brighouse & Denholme Gate Road, Halifax, HX3 7TG.
