Voltcom’s linesmen are often required to work far from any local amenities. They need their vans to look after them
“These vehicles are used on site by operatives who often find themselves working in very inhospitable areas far away from any recognised amenities. The Welfare Van gives them a base for breaks, as well as serving as a meeting point for staff working in different areas.”
He said the company’s operatives appreciated having somewhere warm and comfortable to clean up, relax for a while and have something to eat and drink before going back out to work.
The Sprinters rear doors carry Chapter 8 high-visibility chevrons and comply to health and safety regulations, making them ideally suited to highways maintenance applications as well.
The concept has been so successful that Voltcom is now offering Welfare Vans to third-party customers through its Voltcom Fleet Solutions vehicle rental division.
Voltcom provides a range of maintenance and refurbishment support for low- and high-voltage power lines, as well as training and other services to electrical transmission and distribution network companies, and major utilities contractors.
