What is a welfare van?
A welfare van, also known as a messing van or mobile welfare unit, is a specially converted panel van designed to provide welfare facilities to areas where they might be difficult to access, such as remote sites. Think of it as a vehicle with basic amenities you normally expect to find at the workplace. Mobile welfare units typically include amenities such as a comfortable seating area with a table, storage space, kitchen facilities, toilet, and washing facilities, providing teams with a safe and comfortable place to take a break.
These vans are often used for employees working in network rail and highway maintenance, construction, utilities, and event management. Thanks to their self-contained design and portable installation, these mobile welfare vans can be easily positioned at the precise location they are required at and relocated with equal ease.
Advantages of mobile welfare units
The benefits of welfare units are numerous, with some key advantages being:
✅ Convenience: The mobility of these vans makes it convenient to access welfare amenities without the need to walk long distances.
✅ Cost savings: A welfare van is a more cost-effective option than building permanent on-site accommodations.
✅ Enhanced productivity: Welfare vans can help productivity by bringing essential comforts and support services directly to the workplace, reducing downtime and improving efficiency on-site.
✅ Compliance with health & safety: Welfare vans contribute to maintaining health and safety standards by providing facilities for hygiene, first aid, and emergency response, ensuring essential services are easily accessible.
Bespoke welfare vans available for lease and purchase
While there are used welfare vans available, opting for a lease on a brand-new vehicle customised to your specific needs provides a truly unique and tailored experience. When you lease a welfare van with us, you have complete control over the design of the vehicle - from selecting the perfect panel van for the conversion to customising the layout and adding all the required amenities to meet your specific needs.
Our customisable site welfare facilities comprise:
Canteen area with seats, microwave and hot water
From a resting area with crash-tested seats and a table to a handy microwave for quick meal preparation and hot water for beverages, we help you design a comfortable space for your employees to relax and recharge during their breaks.
Toilet and washing amenities
With electric flushing toilets and handwashing basins onboard, our welfare vans guarantee that workers have access to clean and hygienic sanitation facilities at all times. We can fit our messing units with a separate toilet or a toilet-changing room combo.
Heating and air conditioning
Depending on your requirements, we can equip your new mess van with heating, air conditioning, and an effective ventilation system to ensure a comfortable and conducive working environment, enabling your team to remain productive no matter the weather conditions.
Changing room
By incorporating a separate changing room in a welfare van, you provide a dedicated space for workers to change into their work attire. Alternatively, to optimise available space, you have the option of choosing a restroom and changing room combination.
Safety features
Recognising the utmost importance of safety in welfare units, we prioritise incorporating essential features such as grab handles, anti-slip flooring, and fire exits. Other features include fire extinguishers, first aid kits, lighting and secure storage compartments for valuable equipment.
Advanced technology
Our vans are equipped with the latest technology, making them a perfect addition to any modern fleet. From Bluetooth connectivity and USB ports to reversing cameras and parking sensors, each van is designed for maximum efficiency, comfort and safety on the road.

With a low initial cost and fixed monthly payments, you can obtain a welfare van tailored to your requirements at an affordable price.
