Trade guide

Best van for an electrician

Racking, secure storage and enough payload for cable drums without going into a big panel van you don't need.

What we'd check

  • SWB medium van is usually the sweet spot for access and parking
  • Budget for ply-lining, racking and deadlocks up front
  • Check payload after racking — it eats 150kg quickly
  • Internal load length matters more than exterior size

Transit Custom L1

Racking-friendly, easy to park

VW Transporter T6.1
