ProMAX HDX Chassis vs Low Floor Platform Chassis

The many limitations of standard Luton vans have been overcome with the introduction of the low floor chassis. Today, low floor Luton vans are becoming a popular option, as seen on the UK roads, and the preferred choice for many of today’s transport and logistics companies. This is because of the ease of loading, improved driving dynamics and no requirement of a tail lift, along with all of the expenses that come with them.

Standard low floor platform chassis are available in a limited number of size variants due to the wheelbase they are built on. They are also very heavy when compared with to ProMAX HDX chassis.

Comparatively, the ProMAX chassis is available in a range of wheelbase options which allows you to achieve a bespoke volume and a minimal rear overhang which ensures your Luton van is stable and your cargo weight is spread evenly across all axles. These reasons, amongst many others, allow Maxi Mover to offer the MAX payload, MAX volume and MAX efficiency for any business operating with Luton vans.

 

In Summary

The low floor Luton van conversion’s benefits far outweigh those of standard Luton van conversions. They do not require a tail lift, nor the continual expense of maintenance and LOLER testing as needed on standard Luton van conversions with tail lifts. The other significant benefits are increased payload, lower loading height and increased fuel efficiency.

The research and development team at Maxi Mover work tirelessly to maximise low floor Luton van performance. Maxi Mover’s class-leading, lightweight low floor ProMAX range has been developed using the latest advanced chassis technology, delivering unrivalled payload and driving dynamics compared to the standard low floor platform chassis as used by our competitors.
