Our team of experts will help you transform your chosen chassis cab into a fully customised box van or Luton box van that meets your business needs.
What Is a Box Van?
A box van — also known as a box body van, box truck, or Luton box van — is a commercial vehicle built using a chassis cab fitted with a large, enclosed rectangular cargo body.
Unlike standard panel vans, a box van is constructed with a separate load body mounted to the chassis, creating a completely flat, unobstructed loading area. This design significantly increases usable internal space and allows for more efficient storage and transport of goods.
Because there are no wheel arches intruding into the load area, box vans offer a fully square, high-volume cargo space that is ideal for bulky or palletised goods.
Many box vans are also fitted with tail lifts, allowing for easy loading and unloading where forklift access or loading docks are not available.
Typical Uses for Box Vans
Box vans are widely used across many industries, including:
- Multi-drop delivery services
- Home and office removals
- Furniture transport
- Parcel distribution fleets
- Retail logistics
- Event and exhibition transport
- Catering and mobile operations
- Wholesale goods delivery
- Specialist equipment transport
Popular chassis cab bases include:
- Ford Transit Chassis Cab
- Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Chassis Cab
- Peugeot Boxer Chassis Cab
- Citroën Relay Chassis Cab
- Volkswagen Crafter Chassis Cab
These platforms provide excellent payload capacity, reliability, and suitability for large box body conversions.
Why Choose a Box Van Conversion?
A box van conversion is one of the most efficient ways to maximise cargo volume and improve loading practicality in a commercial vehicle.
At Commercial Vehicle Contracts, we supply bespoke box van leasing solutions designed to help businesses improve operational efficiency while controlling costs.
-
Maximum Load Space Efficiency
Box vans are designed to maximise cubic capacity. The squared-off interior allows you to carry more goods per trip compared to many standard van configurations, improving delivery efficiency and reducing fuel and labour costs.
-
Ideal for Bulk & Palletised Goods
The flat, unobstructed floor makes box vans ideal for palletised goods, furniture, and large items that require stacking or careful spatial organisation.
-
Tail Lift Compatibility
Many of our box van conversions include optional tail lifts, making them perfect for deliveries where no dock or forklift is available. This significantly improves safety and reduces manual handling risks.
-
Cost-Effective Fleet Solution
Leasing a box van allows you to avoid large upfront costs while benefiting from fixed monthly payments and access to modern, efficient vehicles.
-
Fully Bespoke Internal Configurations
Every business is different, which is why our box van conversions can be tailored with features such as:
- Internal shelving systems
- Load restraint systems
- Non-slip flooring
- LED interior lighting

- Partition walls
- Rear step access
- Security locking systems
