People usually refer to vans as one ton packages. The Ford Transit 350 EXT is really a 2 ton platform and this one is kitted out better than many 3 ton trucks. It’s a meticulously curated package including 2 sets of 6, 8 and 12x12 frames, a real 4x4 cart, 4 families of apple boxes and even a mini muscle cart for sandbags. In fact, everything on this van is on a cart. You can empty the van into location, or easily work off of it. From my experience, bringing as much to set as possible is usually more efficient.
Lights on the van are stored on shelves, not in their cases. Setup time is greatly reduced and there is more room for more gear! Rope ratchets safely secure gear on the carts.
Van is available for third party rental assuming a cert of liability insurance including “Hired” and “Non-owned” auto coverage is provided.
