A Luton van has a boxed load area behind the cab, which extends over the top of the cab, providing additional storage space A curtainside van, meanwhile, is one whose sides are made not of fixed material, but of canvas curtains which can be drawn back to allow easier loading. They are also known as tautliners. The curtains are usually fitted over a galvanised steel or aluminium frame, and there will be doors, a shutter or sometimes canvas at the back.
When you’re looking for a used Luton or curtainside van, there are several things you’ll need to consider. For example, will you need a tail lift or low-loader to get heavier goods in and out of the van? Do you deliver in low light situations, when lighting in the load area would be useful? You may also want to ensure the load space has restraints to keep goods secure, or a tow bar if you plan to attach a trailer.
Among our used Luton and curtainside van stock are a variety of familiar makes and models, all of which have been adapted for their purpose. The Transit Luton, for example, is both durable and highly drivable, with more recent models incorporating an array of clever features. The
