How much does the cabinet hold?

It measures 1500 x 1120 x 1491 mm, which is a tall full-height cupboard rather than a box. The manufacturer publishes no weight rating for it, so we do not quote one.

Why does this page not give a climbing figure?

Because the published one reads "20 km/h", which is a speed, not a gradient. It is a unit error in the source and we would rather say nothing than guess it meant 20%. Ask and we will confirm it with them.

Yes, the cabinet is a lockable body, which is most of the reason to choose it over an open bed for stock that sits outside rooms while staff are inside.

How much does it cost?

We price to specification rather than publish a figure. Tell us the site and the round and we will quote the vehicle, the delivery and the lead time together.

The battery, the wheels and the options change the figure enough that a headline price would be wrong for most buyers, so we price the vehicle you actually want, delivery included.

Specifications are the manufacturer’s own published figures for this model. Range and climbing figures are measured in level, unladen conditions, so treat them as the ceiling rather than the number to plan a hilly site around.

About the Housekeeping Utility Vehicle

A tall lockable cabinet instead of a bed, sized so linen, towels, cleaning stock and a vacuum go inside rather than on top. It is the vehicle hotels and holiday parks buy when housekeeping is currently done with a trolley and a lot of walking.

It shares its running gear with the refrigerated model: AGM batteries, a 5 kW motor, 70 km of range and up to 35 km/h, which is quick for this part of the range.

Where a housekeeping body earns its keep

Hotels and resorts with rooms spread across a site rather than a single block
Holiday parks and glamping sites servicing units on a round
Venues where stock has to be secure between stops
Operations replacing a trolley and repeated walks to a store

What it will not do

The manufacturer publishes no payload figure for the cabinet, so we state none. If a weight matters, tell us and we will ask them rather than estimate.
Its published climbing capacity reads "20 km/h", which is a unit error rather than a figure. We have left that row out rather than assume it meant 20%.
The cabinet is tall, which raises the centre of gravity. On a cambered path, loaded, it wants driving with that in mind.
No open bed at all. Anything that will not go in the cabinet does not travel.

Not sure whether to buy or hire

As a rule, buying wins if you would use it more than a few weeks a year or need it available without arranging anything. Below that, hiring usually costs less and takes the maintenance off you. The calculator works it through on your own numbers rather than ours.
