How Welfare Vans Become the Mobile Hub for Construction Sites

Redefining On-Site Facilities: How Welfare Vans Become the Mobile Hub for Construction Sites

In the construction industry, efficiency and productivity reign supreme. However, ensuring the well-being and comfort of on-site workers often takes a backseat. However, with the advent of welfare vans, the landscape of on-site facilities is undergoing a significant transformation. These mobile hubs are not just vehicles; they are dynamic solutions that redefine the way construction firms approach worker amenities. At CVM World we are revolutionising on-site facilities and reshaping the construction industry as we know it by building high quality Welfare Vans.

What Is A Tipper Van?

What is a Tipper Van?

A Tipper Van is a commercial vehicle designed for carrying and tipping heavy loads such as construction materials, soil, gravel, or waste. Our Tipper Vans are equipped with a hydraulic tipping mechanism that allows the cargo bed to be raised and emptied, making it ideal for transporting loose materials. The tipping mechanism is controlled by a control panel located in the cab, which allows the driver to operate it safely and easily.

Our Welfare Fleet Explained!

Our Welfare Van Hire Fleet consists of Peugeot Boxer Welfare vans.

Take a look at our:

Peugeot Boxer Welfare Van For Hire

As a Welfare hire vehicle (sometimes known as Mess Van) our Peugeot Welfare Vans are a great platform for employee transport and facilities combined. We offer a range of Hire periods which are suited to those working on short to long term contracts.

Our Hire Welfare Vans are ideals for those who either need to bolster their fleet with additional vehicles without the need for permanent investment or require a Welfare Van purely for the duration of the contract

We’ve equipped our Welfare Vans for hire with Chapter 8 compliant livery. This means our vans are fitted with reflective strips along the side of the vehicle and Chevrons on the rear. It’s an important factor to consider when looking to Hire a Welfare Vehicle as not all have this signwriting fitted. It is however a legal requirement should your workforce be working on the UKs Highways and the vehicle be in a stationary position.

When is Chapter 8 Livery Required:

Roadworks
Traffic Management
Breakdown Repair & Recovery
Groundworks
Road Sweeping
Roadside Tree Work

This isn’t exhaustive and it’s best to check prior to agreeing to a Welfare Vehicle Hire, whether you’ll need to have Chapter 8 Livery.

What can you expect from our Hire Welfare Vans:
VOSA tested seating for up to 7 people
Unisex toilet
Hot and cold-water supply
Canteen facilities with sink, microwave, and cooking area
Boiling water supply
Air extraction units
Bespoke storage facilities

We’ve also fitted our Welfare Hire Vehicles with Towbars and Rhino Steps. Though minor additions to a Welfare Vehicle they do provide great benefits.

Having a Welfare Van on hire with towing capabilities will assist in transporting equipment to and around site. Equally the Rhino step aides in the on and off boarding of the workforce, a benefit that shouldn’t be understated when looking to avoid slips, trips and falls on a worksite.

Short-Term Welfare Van Hire!

Require a Welfare Van on short-term hire to fulfil a contract or replace a damaged fleet vehicle. We offer short-term rental through our sister company CVM World Rentals.

The Construction Industry is Waking Up

The construction industry like many has been impacted negatively by Covid, however in part due to large infrastructure projects like HS2 the High speed rail link between London, Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds it seems the sector is beginning to wake up.

Whether you operate within the private or public sector, your workforce need to be able to attend the worksite and have access to facilities including:

Funding For ULEZ Compliant Vans

We all know that operating a fleet can be a costly experience, van maintenance, operating license, fuel cards, insurance.

Complying to LEZ and Ultra Low Emission Zones (ULEZ) is the simplest way to avoid the additional charge for vans, minibuses, campervans operating in active LEZ and ULEZ areas.

The great news is to support operators some cities like Greater Manchester have secured funding to support businesses.

New Welfare Van Hire Available

Welfare Van Lease options Launched

We know given the turbulence of the last 2 trading years it’s not always easy to commit to a long term investment. In fact, we know that not all work sites require a Welfare Unit for 12 months of the year.

You could be working on multiple projects in Rail, Highway maintenance, engineering, regeneration, utilities for limited periods across multiple sites, but without the permanent need of a Crew Van.

Why commit to buying a Welfare Van?
