Overview

Box vans are enclosed cargo vehicles built on van or cutaway chassis, designed for secure, weatherproof transport of goods. They offer flat cargo floors, varying lengths and heights, and features like rear roll-up or swing doors, liftgates, and internal racking. Ideal for deliveries, moving, and equipment haulage, choose a box van based on payload capacity, interior dimensions, GVWR, ease of loading, and options such as refrigeration or shelving.

FAQ

What should I check when buying a used box van?

Check the chassis (engine, transmission, mileage), GVWR vs curb weight, cargo floor condition, body seams for rust, door and liftgate operation, wiring and lights, suspension and brakes, tire condition, and maintenance records. Verify interior dimensions and tie-down points for your loads.

How should I arrange shipping or delivery of a box van?

For short distances drive-away is common; for non‑running or long hauls use a flatbed or lowboy carrier. Secure the van to the trailer at chassis or axle points, confirm height/weight for permits, and get insurance that covers transport damage.

What maintenance does a box van need?

Follow chassis service intervals for engine, transmission, brakes, and tires. Regularly inspect body seals, floor panels, door mechanisms, liftgate hydraulics, and cargo restraint hardware. Treat rust early, maintain weather seals, and service any refrigeration or electrical systems as required.
