    Have you looked into the Iveco Daily light commercial vans?
    Now, this IS a workhorse and designed from the ground up to do the job, not adapted from some sort of multi-purpose chassis.... Dont expect they would be too cheap though :-?

    Mal.

    Although, this doesnt seem too bad

    Even used ones look pretty reasonable....http://www.motorsm.com/AUS/cars/used...y.asp?aid=6622

      Depends how you define cheap Mal!

      I believe they range from about $42k for 8 cubic mtrs of space in the back, to about $52k for 15 cubes. Seem to recall reading somewhere that their light comm chassis are a consolidated version of their heavy commercial counterparts - so youre right, a bloody good & strong workhorse Way out of my budget though

        I looked at a Iveco Daily today
        (insert Arthur Daley flashback here)

        They look good but boy are they BIG.

        I went to "Van World", corny but a good place to see a whole pile of new and secondhand vans in a row. Run around with a tape messure and make sure a pallet fit between the arches.

        One "gotcha" I found today is that all second hand vans in Victoria are not covered by any car yard warranty. Commercial vehicles are exempt so if it blows-up in a month, bad luck!

          A guy who fits or hydraulicks at work has a Iveco an his company is changing to Isuzu light Truck,while the Iveco cab chassis has a payload of 5 tonnes the turbo and gearbox couldnt cope so a fews years old and its had a new gearbox and two turbos.Seems it can carry 5tonne just not all the time and these hydro guys have a lot of gear.

              Beware of Iveco, we have had one from new for 4 years. It has had 2 new complete aircon systems, 8 fuel tanks, the turrent completely resprayed due to paint peel, broken gear box mount, numerous suspension problems, 3 radiators, fatigue in the body and on it goes. The repair shop that fixes the van gets on average one van per week from the dealer for warranty repairs
              We too are looking at an Isuzu truck.
