Leasing a van as a window cleaner is a big decision. As a window cleaner you need the right van at the right price, and Crusader Vans is the leasing partner that can help. With a selection of vans always in stock and finance deals structured to benefit you and your business, leasing van has never been easier.
Choosing a New Van
Choosing a new van is not something you should rush into. For the best advice on the right van for you and your business, a call to Crusader Vans will be a great investment. As a window cleaning company there are four things you need to consider when choosing a new van:
Space: Your new van needs to have enough space to carry all the equipment you need. Window cleaning often requires more than just a bucket and a sponge. You may need access to water and therefore a water tank may need to be fitted. Furthermore, you may need racking and space to carry a ladder or two.
Payload: An overloaded van is dangerous and makes driving less efficient. A new van for a window cleaning company needs to be able to carry enough weight safely and securely for daily work.
Size of your team: The capacity to carry people is important to a window cleaning company. Having a van with the right seating is essential, double cabs, crew cabs and simply ensuring you have three seats in the font all need to be considered.
Vehicle Access: Side door and rear door access is important, sliding doors, tailgates and other options can all make the different between the perfect van and a working nightmare.
The Best Small Leased Van
A small van can work well for many window cleaners. Some manufacturers call their small vans compact rather than small. New small vans have a tremendous amount of space inside, are efficient to run and make a lot of sense.
With so many great small vans on the market it is hard to choose the best small van for a window cleaning company. However, when all things are considered, the Vauxhall Combo makes absolute sense. The Vauxhall Combo comes from one the UKs best manufacturers and is a well-made, robust, and versatile small van. The van creates a superb image on the road and when parked on the pavement oozing quality. The drive is exceptional, and the engines are powerful and economical.
The Best Medium Van for a Window Cleaner
Ordinarily, the slot for the best leased medium van in any industry would be filled by the Ford Transit. However, for reliability, practicality, and a lot of space for your money the Renault Trafic is an absolute winner. Extremely well priced, with finance lease terms and other options that will make sense to any savvy business owner or fleet manager it is clear why the Renault Trafic is such a popular van.
The loading bay is where the Trafic is the biggest winner for a window cleaning company. The rear-door width is 1.4m wide by 1.3m high, and the bay itself is 1.6m wide (dropping to 1.2m between the arches). Almost 3 metres in length with an average height of 1.3 m the load can be extended by a half a metre under the passenger seat. Easy access through the side sliding door makes the van really accessible and a breeze to work with. Added to all this space and ease of access the van carries a generous 1200kg, on top of this a tow bar can be added g8iving up to 2000kg braked and 750kg unbraked towage.
The Best Large Van for a Window Cleaning Company
There are a handful of superb large vans that are ideal for a window cleaning company. As with the small van, choosing between them is challenging with a true French Connection leading the pack. With little difference between the Peugeot Boxer and the Citroen Relay, Crusader Vans sways toward the Peugeot Boxer simply because of the availability of stock.
