Luton vans are one of the most versatile and popular commercial vehicle conversions available on the market, offering exceptional load volume, excellent accessibility, and a practical solution for a wide range of industries. From removals and logistics to retail deliveries and specialist transportation, a Luton conversion provides the space, and functionality businesses need to operate efficiently.
At Van Guru, we design and manufacture bespoke Luton van conversions to suit your exact requirements, with a range of body specifications, loading options, and tail lift configurations available.
What is a Luton Van?
A Luton van features a box-shaped body with an extended section above the vehicle cab, maximising available load space without significantly increasing the overall vehicle footprint. This design creates a large, secure load area ideal for transporting bulky or high-volume goods.
Our Luton conversions can be built on a variety of chassis cab vehicles and tailored to your operational requirements, usually from stock.
Low Floor Luton Conversions
Low floor Luton bodies are designed to reduce the loading height of the vehicle, making loading and unloading quicker, safer, and more efficient.
Benefits of a Low Floor Luton:
- Easier manual loading and unloading
- Reduced risk of workplace injuries
- Improved accessibility for delivery operations
- Faster turnaround times
- Ideal for furniture removals and parcel distribution
Low floor Lutons are particularly popular with removal companies and multi-drop delivery operators who require frequent access to the load area throughout the day.
Standard Luton Conversions
A standard Luton body offers excellent load capacity while maintaining a robust and durable design suitable for everyday commercial use.
Available options include:
- Plywood and GRP body construction
- Internal load restraint systems (1 or 2 rails)
- Rear roller shutters or barn doors
- Bespoke shelving and storage solutions can be added
- Tail lift options can be added for handling of heavy goods
Each conversion is designed to maximise payload and operational efficiency while meeting the specific needs of your business.

What Tail Lifts are available?
Column Tail Lifts
Column tail lifts operate using vertical guide rails mounted at the rear of the vehicle. The platform moves directly up and down, providing a stable lifting solution for heavy loads.
Advantages of Column Tail Lifts:
- High lifting capacity
- Excellent stability
- Suitable for palletised freight
- Reliable and durable operation
- Ideal for logistics and distribution fleets
Column lifts are commonly used where maximum lifting performance and frequent loading operations are required.
Cantilever Tail Lifts
Cantilever tail lifts use hydraulic arms to raise and lower the platform, allowing it to fold neatly away when not in use.
Advantages of Cantilever Tail Lifts:
- Compact folded position
- Clean vehicle appearance
- Versatile loading capabilities
- Suitable for a wide range of applications
- Available with various platform sizes
Cantilever lifts are often preferred for general haulage, delivery vehicles, and businesses requiring flexibility in loading operations.
