WHY SMART FLEET MANAGERS CHOOSE TRUCKSMITH: THE LOW-FLOOR AND ROBUST-BUILD ADVANTAGE

In the competitive world of logistics, construction, and delivery, a fleet manager’s success hinges on a few core principles: efficiency, safety, payload, and reliability. Every vehicle choice is a strategic decision that impacts the bottom line.

That’s why a record number of savvy fleet managers are choosing Trucksmith for two of the most critical vehicle types in their operations: the high-volume LoLoader® for deliveries and the tough, dependable Target range of Tippers and Dropsides.

It’s not just a vehicle; it’s a focused solution built for professional fleet demands. Here is a breakdown of why Trucksmith is the preferred partner for fleet managers.


1. The Trucksmith LoLoader: Redefining High-Volume Delivery

The Trucksmith LoLoader has earned its reputation as the market leader in 3.5-tonne low-floor Luton vans because it directly addresses the biggest efficiency bottlenecks in a standard delivery fleet.

  • Boosted Operational Efficiency and Speed: The LoLoader’s revolutionary design features a loading deck as low as 550mm (and even lower with optional air suspension). This almost entirely eliminates the need for a heavy, time-consuming tail lift. Drivers can load and unload far quicker and with less effort, increasing your delivery capacity per day and getting vehicles back on the road faster.
  • Enhanced Driver Safety and Welfare: Repeatedly lifting heavy items onto a high deck or navigating steep tail-lift ramps is a major cause of driver injury. The LoLoader’s low, easily accessible floor dramatically reduces strain and minimises the risk of falls and back injuries. Prioritising driver welfare translates directly into lower injury claims and less costly downtime.
  • Maximum Usable Payload: By building a vehicle that doesn’t need to carry the extra weight of a tail lift, we immediately free up valuable capacity. This means your delivery vehicles can carry more essential cargo, maximising profitability on every run.

 

2. Trucksmith Target Tippers and Dropsides: Built for Work

 

When the job demands durability, ease of use, and sheer muscle, the Trucksmith Target range—including our Tippers and Dropsides—is the fleet manager’s choice for construction, utilities, and landscaping.

  • Engineered for Durability: Our Target Tippers and Dropsides are built with robust bodies designed to handle the toughest loads and environments. Fleet managers trust the Target range for its ability to withstand the continuous strain of daily dumping, hauling, and rigorous site work, ensuring long operational life.
  • Focus on Usability: Both the Tipper and Dropside bodies are designed for practical, real-world work. The dropside panels are easy to operate, and the tipper mechanisms are highly reliable, allowing your teams to spend less time managing their vehicle and more time on the job.
  • Manufacturer Approved Quality: Like the LoLoader, the Target range is manufactured as a manufacturer approved conversion. This accreditation ensures the vehicle bodies meet the highest quality standards, integrate perfectly with the base chassis, and are supported by robust warranties—a crucial factor for any large fleet investment.

 

Uncompromised Quality and Fleet Reliability

 

Choosing Trucksmith means partnering with a specialist who understands that vehicle reliability is paramount. Both the LoLoader and the Target range have been put through the exacting European Whole Vehicle Type Approval (EWVTA) process, giving fleet managers absolute confidence in the safety, quality, and structural integrity of their investment.

From boosting delivery speed with the LoLoader to guaranteeing resilience on site with the Target Tipper, Trucksmith provides tailored solutions that keep your drivers safer and your fleet more profitable.
