A Luton van or a panel van? Well, let&#8217;s crunch even more numbers based on the 2 vans above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><thead><tr><th>Type<\/th><th>Kerb Weight<\/th><th>Payload Weight<\/th><th>Gross Weight<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Panel<\/td><td>2,055kg<\/td><td>1,445kg<\/td><td>3,500kg<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Luton<\/td><td>2,484kg<\/td><td>1,016kg<\/td><td>3,500kg<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Difference<\/td><td>429kg<\/td><td>429kg<\/td><td>No Change<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There are pros and cons to either type of van, however. Panel vans are smaller, faster, and easier to park and you gain hundreds of extra kg&#8217;s in payload due to the nature of their design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"div-40px\"><\/div>\n\n<p>\n<script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\n<!-- FVH Blog Display Ads -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9757226481979701\" data-ad-slot=\"1023228827\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Luton van is heavier, slower, and you lose plenty of that juicy payload but there&#8217;s something to be said for having a wider, higher, and longer, load space that you can almost play tennis in. In the van world, sometimes size matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse\">Note: We did a great article on the complete dimensions of a Luton van. If you would like to read that, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.falkirkvanhire.com\/articles\/luton-van-dimensions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">click here<\/a>.<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>In the end, it really comes down to what you&#8217;re van is used for. Luton box vans are for removals and pallet delivery networks and panel vans are for Amazon delivery drivers and tradesmen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How To Find The GVW Of My Van<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing you should absolutely note, however, is that <strong>not all panel vans are 3.5-tonne vehicles<\/strong>. Some have a GVW of 2,800kg whereas others have a GVW of 2,200.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To find the GVW of the van you&#8217;re operating, always check the VIN plate. It&#8217;s normally located inside the driver&#8217;s door well and it will tell you all you need to know about that vehicle regarding weight specifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"div-40px\"><\/div>\n\n<p>\n<script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\n<!-- FVH Blog Display Ads -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9757226481979701\" data-ad-slot=\"1023228827\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you hear &#8220;3.5-tonne van&#8221;, you would be forgiven for assuming no further than a big box Luton.
