It is easily large enough to carry 8×4 boards with room to spare, making it a compact but highly practical choice. The medium wheelbase is available with both a low and high roof so you can have additional space if it will suit your needs.

If you’re looking for a little more space, then the long wheelbase version of the Volkswagen Crafter is the perfect choice. With a 4-metre-long storage space in the rear of the vehicle it is perfect for when you know you’ll need to haul larger equipment or longer pieces of material. The long wheelbase Crafter is available with a high roof and a super-high roof, giving you even more space if you need it.
History of the
VW Crafter
The Volkswagen Crafter started life in 2006 when it replaced the Volkswagen Lasten-Transporter. It was a joint project with Mercedes and shared a lot of similarities with the Mark 2 Sprinter. It proved extremely popular with customers, selling more units than the previous generation in half the time. With the Crafter, Volkswagen had clearly identified how to create a comfortable and versatile working vehicle. As a van with plenty of options for size and space, the Crafter had a universal appeal to a great many different users. With this generation, Volkswagen recognised the source of the Crafter’s appeal and took a new approach. They started from scratch, went back to basics, and made a significant effort to understand how operators actually used their vehicles. From here they used this information to specifically tailor the new Crafter to meet those needs. In addition to the modern amenities, there is a heavy focus on utility. The highly ergonomic cab, the quieter engine, and the long-distance comfort show the care that went into its design and manufacture.
