Find The Best Truck Or Van For A Professional Plumber

 

What Makes a Vehicle a Right for Plumbers?

• Cargo Area: Your plumbing van or truck should have enough room to fit hand and power tools, materials, supplies, safety gear, and diagnostic equipment. Vans are especially adept at this, but trucks with secure straps and cargo systems can accommodate your needs just as well.
• Towing Capability: An ample towing capacity can be essential for plumbers. For example, if you're working on commercial properties, you may need to bring a trailer loaded with bulk material. Trucks tend to be better suited for towing. However, it depends on how much capacity you need.
• Storage Solutions: It's important for plumbing trucks and vans to have storage solutions to keep all essentials, such as tube cutters, drills, pipe benders, and moisture meters, organized and readily available.

FAQ

What is the best type of vehicle for plumbing service calls?

Typically, the best types of vehicles for plumbing service calls are utility pickup trucks or cargo vans. We often have a vast inventory of commercial models that can suit various plumbing business needs. Check out our selection online, or consult with one of our Jim Ellis Commercial specialists. We can even review available box truck options, along with your upfit capabilities.

Can I convert a standard van into a plumbing van?

Yes, you can usually convert a standard van into a dedicated plumbing van. We recommend opting for a cargo van (vs. a passenger van) for easier and more cost-effective customization. You can add shelving, cargo systems, floor mats, and more to your build. If you require assistance with your upfitting ventures, don't hesitate to get in touch with our team.

How much payload should a plumbing van support?

To effectively conduct business, a plumbing van should have a payload capacity ranging between 3,000 and 5,000 pounds when properly equipped. You can find configurations of the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Ram ProMaster, Ford Transit, and Chevrolet Express that fit this range. This allows you to customize your interior and stock it with the supplies you need, from pipe wrenches and levels to inspection cameras and pipes.

Do upfits void the vehicle's warranty?

Upfitting a vehicle can void the warranty in some cases. Some cosmetic updates may not, but those that impact the structure or mechanical components may, especially if they were done through a third-party company. However, if you get an upfit from the manufacturer, it is less likely to affect the model's warranty coverage. Contact us for further details on what voids warranty coverage.

Can I get financing or tax incentives for a plumbing vehicle?

You may be able to save on your plumbing vehicle by taking advantage of financing specials or tax incentives. Every driver and purchase is unique, as is our rotation of offers and the tax credits available. Because of this, we recommend that drivers visit our dealership in Atlanta, Georgia, to get personalized estimates on their desired plumbing vehicle and eligibility for tax benefits.
