3 Essential Units for Safe and Efficient Crew Transport

When traveling between laydown yards and renewable sites, safety for crew transport should always remain the top priority. Work zones can cover large and remote areas. This means choosing the right vehicle for transporting crew and equipment is crucial. It is not just about convenience; it is also about keeping your team safe. Choosing the right vehicle can cut down transit time and trips needed as well as help reduce wear on your vehicles and keep your crew safe.

Given the amount of jobsite travel that can be required for projects, it’s essential to use vehicles that are not only reliable but also designed to handle various terrains and unpredictable conditions. Quick, safe, and reliable transportation is key. It helps teams stay productive and keeps projects moving without delays. Here are 3 rent-ready units, perfect for crew transport. 

1. Passenger Vans

Passenger van rentals are a great choice for transporting larger crews to and from job sites. PTR’s passenger van offering features seating for up to 15 passengers, which is perfect for crews that need to travel together. These units also feature three removable seats, which allow for space to haul materials and small equipment while still accommodating up to 12 people.

Passenger vans are all-wheel drive and have a towing capacity of 4,400lbs, making them ideal for transporting crew members and moving equipment in a single unit. PTR passenger vans are a great way to safely and efficiently transport crew members, materials, and trailers.

2. SUVs

SUVs are perfect for hauling smaller crews and securing high-dollar equipment. Our SUV rental offering has seating available for up to 8 passengers and is a great unit for executive transport, leadership and fleet managers. While these vehicles have less towing capacity than vans or trucks; including SUVs in your fleet is still reliable and efficient.

3. Pickup Trucks

For jobs requiring towing or heavy hauling, pickups are the best solution. PTR offers both ¾-ton and ½-ton pickup trucks for rent, ideal for hauling trailers, transporting tools and materials from site to site, and moving crew members.

These trucks provide a generous amount of bed space and can easily be upfit with added customizations for storage, like ladder racks, toolboxes, tonneau covers, and truck toppers. Additionally, PTR’s pickup trucks have safety features, like hitch receivers, trailer tow packages, and trailer brake controllers to ensure that transit back and forth to your site is seamless. 

Safety and efficiency are the top priorities when hauling materials and crews to jobsites. It is crucial to ensure there is adequate room for all crew members, and all materials are secured and stored appropriately for transit.
