Description
16 foot Extra Long Dropside Van Hire
Extra-long 3.5t Dropside Van – 4.87 metre Load Length
Maun Motors have a range of 3.5 tonne vans fitted with flatbed pick-up bodies to suit most applications, whether you need a standard dropside, a dropside with tail-lift, a plain flat-bed or an extra-long dropside, we have a vehicle to suit your needs.
This extra-long 16 foot (4.87 metre) “Jumbo” XL dropside is one of the longest 3.5 tonne GVW flatbeds we have available on our van rental fleet (although we also have a 17 foot/5 metre-plus XXL dropside available). Based on the hardy Volkswagen Crafter CR35 TDI LWB or Ford Transit T350 L5 long wheelbase chassis-cabs, these dropsides are popular for use in transporting scaffolding, uPVC extrusions and window & door frames, street lighting, etc.
Despite the impressive load length size, this vehicle can still be driven on a standard car licence (category B) and due to its ultra-light body construction – using aluminium wherever possible – it still has an impressive payload of 1,300 kg! The bodies of these vehicles feature aluminium dropsides and hard-wearing, specialist resin-bonded plywood, load decks, along with pull-up load retention rings, under-chassis roping hooks & aluminium ladder-frame headboard.
If you’re planning long-term or contract hire, we can even arrange to have a body built specific to your needs*. In the past we’ve supplied 3.5 tonne vehicles with specialist 19 foot/5.8m dropside bodies for carrying PVCu extrusions.
Occasionally we have dropsides available with crew cabs, allowing up to 5 passengers and a driver to be transported in one vehicle; an extremely practical option. Please call for availability.
Our team will be happy to assist you in finding the best commercial vehicle to hire for your needs, so if you would like to discuss your requirements, please give our team a call today on 01773 810007 or use our handy contact form to request a call back.
