  Yea you are? Sprinters or Crafters easily fit a stack of sheets, at least in the EU they do

    I’m honestly baffled as to where they got that idea, most commercial vans are built around standard pallets and wallboard sheets. Mercedes Sprinter and Vito will, the Transit including the Transit Custom will, the Toyota Hiace will, it’s pretty much a standard feature.

  Not with that attitude.

  As in plasterboard sheets? I don’t see why not if hand loading, plenty of vans will fit a 2400x1200 sheet (my Transporter fitted a bunch of plywood with room to spare). Loading one with a forklift is harder due to no side access long enough to fit 2400mm but that’s a problem shared with tub back utes. If however your plasterboard pallet is side accessible a van with barn doors (like you’d buy if pallets were a priority) will allow you load it in fine.

  What van are you thinking? Work vans do this all the time.

  Most commercial vans are slightly over 2.4m long in the cargo area, which is the size of a standard sheet of wallboard. (1.2x2.4m).

  Mine will fit that comfortably.

    My pickup can fit that with a forklift in seconds without hand loading… Can your van…?

        That’s an example of an idiot. And not how you load that.

      Can your pick me up fit into a standard car park in the middle of a city?

      And a van with split doors is definitely capable of doing that.

        Actually yes my ranger fits just fine in some of the tightest of places. Never had a problem fitting into compact car spots with no over hang. With a full size 8 foot bed no less.
