Dropside Van Hire in Grangemouth

A dropside van gives you an open flatbed with sides that fold down on three edges, so you can load awkward, long, or heavy items from any angle. Our Nissan NV400 dropside is set up for trade work, gardening, landscaping, and anything that won't fit inside a panel van. Daily, weekly, and short-term hire up to 30 days are all available from our Grangemouth depot.

When a Dropside Van is the Right Pick

Builders, landscapers, fencers, roofers, and skip-hire customers all use a dropside because it lets you slide kit on and off from the side rather than lifting it over a panel-van sill. Long timber, pallets, garden waste, paving slabs, and bagged aggregates all sit flat on the bed without scratching a fitted interior.

If your load needs to stay dry or out of sight, a large panel van is the right choice. For house moves with white goods or boxed contents, our Luton box van with tail lift is a better fit.
