Looking at buying a caddy van soon will a 2400mm door fit?

Post by klein biker »

Hi

I am new to the forum and looking at buying a caddy van shortly, this is not a plug but a relevant question, I have a business making and installing fitted bedroom wardrobes, would a 2400mm door fit safely in a caddy van?

Hi small biker :)

A 2400mm door will defo not fit in a standard caddy. It might in a Caddy maxi though?

I'm sure the back of a caddy is around 66inches, which equates roughly to 1676 mm..

Hope this helps, or take out the bulk head, a 5 min job, to gain some extra length..

You could remove the bulkhead, but you still wouldn't get a 2.4m door in though.
The Caddy is big, but the load space isn't that long. Not sure how long a Caddy maxi is, but I'm sure you could get said sized door in one of those with the bulkhead out.

You can just get a standard 6'6 door in stood on its edge, corner to corner.
