There are a few simple reasons that top restoration contractors prefer the cube or box trucks over an extended cargo van. First, cube trucks are simply bigger than their extended van counterparts.

Second, because space is at such a premium in restoration trucks, it can be difficult for contractors to squeeze all the necessary equipment into one van. And finally, when you buy your cube truck from a reputable dealer you’ll enjoy an extensive array of choices and options.

So, how much bigger are they?

Obviously, you can buy cube trucks and vans in different lengths, typically 12’, 14’ and 16’. However, the real difference isn’t in length, but in the height and width of the cargo area. For example, excluding the driving and passenger area, a typical twelve foot extended van measures 12’ long x 4.3’ wide x 4.5’ high, while a twelve foot cube truck’s dimensions are 12’ long x 8’ wide x 7’ high. In cubic feet, that means an extended van rings in at 232 ft, with the cube truck nearly tripling that cubic footage at 672 ft. A twelve foot cube truck is nearly triple the size of a twelve foot extended van. It’s like having 3 cargo vans in 1 cube truck. In restoration work that extra space means less trips to the job site and more money for you!
