Upgrade your business with a drainage van

Having the right equipment may not be all that’s needed to run a successful drainage business, but it’s fair to say that companies without it are at a significant disadvantage when compared to those that do. With that in mind, it seems apt to discuss drainage and CCTV vans. They represent a considerable investment, but also an upgrade that can set organisations apart – both in terms of appearance and capability.

The benefits of having a drainage/CCTV van

A business in possession of a specialist drainage and/or CCTV van has everything it needs to achieve optimum efficiency when undertaking site work. Not only will they have a vehicle capable of transporting all necessary equipment, they’ll also have a space from which they can undertake inspections in comfort. Crucially, they’ll also be able to finalise reports without needing to return to the office, significantly improving efficiency.

What’s more, a converted and fully equipped drainage, CCTV or jetter van will paint an organisation in a positive light. Not only does it show that they’re prepared, it also demonstrates a willingness to invest in operations. 

As we’ve alluded to previously, though, many organisations simply cannot justify the expenditure required to bring in a specialised drainage, CCTV or jetter van, irrespective of how much it would benefit them. Rather than allow this to hinder their growth, however, many organisations take advantage of solutions that allow them to access specialist vans that both improve their efficacy and reputation, without accruing considerable up-front costs.

The benefits of drainage van hire

One of the most obvious ways organisations can benefit from a specialist van without up-front costs is to hire one. DCR Inspection Systems has several fully converted drainage and other vans available to rent. All of these vehicles are thoroughly maintained and can be hired alongside drain inspection cameras, cleaning and descaling tools, no-dig pipe repair equipment, and much more.

Servicing and other maintenance fees are additional costs that also need to be considered when purchasing a specialised van. Organisations that hire vehicles avoid the cost of things like repairs, tyres, etc., with the hiring company responsible for the cost of maintaining the vehicle.

For organisations that would prefer to own rather than hire – but still want to avoid high up-front costs – another solution is available.

The benefits of financing a drainage van

Financing the purchase of a drainage van allows organisations to spread the cost over an agreed period, making it easier for them to absorb.

The most obvious benefit of financing over hiring is that the organisation will own the vehicle without needing to pay the entire fee up-front. Another, though, is that they can order a van that more precisely matches their operational needs.

As part of a full fit-out, DCR can create a customised drainage, CCTV or inspection van with features including (but not limited to) additional storage, fully waterproof flooring, integrated monitors, solar panels, heavy-duty sliding platforms for cable drums, and more.

Conclusion

A drainage van sets an organisation apart from its competitors. It drives efficiency and performance, whilst also enhancing professional reputation.

Although purchasing such a vehicle typically involves considerable cost, DCR has drainage vans available to hire and – whilst we do not offer finance directly – can help organisations find suitable finance providers where required.
