Mercedes Sprinter 513 Bakwagen kopen

What exactly is a Sprinter 513 furniture box truck?

A Sprinter 513 box truck combines the chassis of the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter with a closed box body (furniture box) and a tail lift at the rear. The type designation 513 refers to the weight class of roughly 3.5 tonnes combined with the power output of the diesel engine. Thanks to the closed body, the load is protected against weather and theft, and with a tail lift you can easily load and unload heavy cabinets, appliances or boxes without having to use a steep loading ramp. This makes the box truck with tail lift a popular commercial vehicle for removal companies, furniture delivery services and couriers who transport bulky items. When choosing a suitable box truck, always pay attention to the combination of payload, loading floor length and the maximum lifting capacity of the tail lift, so that it matches your type of load.

What should you look out for in a used Sprinter box truck?

When buying a used Sprinter box truck with tail lift, the condition of the body is at least as important as that of the engine. Check the box walls and loading floor for rust, damp patches and cracks in the coating, especially with older furniture boxes that have spent a lot of time outdoors. Test the tail lift yourself: raise and lower it a few times, check the hydraulics for leaks and see whether the controls operate smoothly. Also ask for the diesel engine's maintenance booklet and watch for typical Sprinter points of attention, such as the condition of the turbo and the DPF system at higher mileages. A recent APK (MOT/TÜV) inspection and a road-ready delivery provide extra assurance that you won't be faced with hidden defects right after purchase.

513, 516 or 519: which power output suits your load?

Within the Sprinter range, the type number, for example 509, 511, 513, 516 or 519, determines the combination of payload and engine power. A 513 sits in the mid-range: enough power for daily use on the motorway, with a payload suitable for most furniture transport, without moving into the heavier category. If you mainly transport light, bulky loads such as boxes and furniture, a 513 is often a pleasant middle ground between driving comfort and load capacity. If it concerns heavier loads such as appliances, machinery or building materials, it's wise to also compare a heavier version before making your choice.

Buying or Financial Lease: what suits your business?

If you're investing in a box truck for your business, it's worth weighing buying against Financial Lease. With Financial Lease you become the economic owner of the box truck and spread the purchase costs over a term you can align with your business planning, keeping monthly costs predictable and protecting your working capital. That makes leasing attractive for start-ups and self-employed professionals who are just getting going and don't want to, or can't, pay the full purchase amount at once. If you buy the box truck outright, you have no ongoing obligation and can resell the vehicle whenever you wish. Which option suits you best mainly depends on your liquidity, expected use and tax situation.
