A van refers to an independent closed structure carriage, or an integrally closed structure carriage integrated with the cab. It is a commercial vehicle mainly used for carrying goods.
The van has the advantages of flexible mobility, convenient operation, efficient work, large transportation volume, and making full use of space, safety, and reliability. It can be transported not only on various intercity roads but also in urban area.
Vans are common, but we know very little about them. Now, let’s take a look at the “little secret” of vans.
The Application and Classification of Vans:
According to the different body structures, the van is mainly divided into two categories: container van and integrated van.
Container van: with an independent closed structure carriage, a container van is widely suitable for transporting all kinds of goods. It also applies to the transportation of major factories, supermarkets, and individuals.
Integrated van: the structure of the cargo part is a closed box body and is integrated with the cab. The body structure is a van truck. Integrated vans are mainly used for small cars carrying goods and mostly used for individual transportation.

Warehouse gate type van: the four walls and the top adopt the complete canopy activity design, and it can be ventilated all around
The Standard for Delivery Van:
According to the relevant regulations, the current general standard for vans is QC / T453-2019. The standard stipulates the technical requirements, test methods, inspection rules, signs, transportation, and storage of vans, which is applicable to the vans and van trains with finalized automobile chassis restructuring.
Van Parameters:

Common Use Pain Points for Using Van Locks:
In the process of transportation, the safety of the van compartment is very important. Among them, the lock used in the van can be said to be “indispensable”. At present, although there are various types of van locks, they are easy to encounter the following pain points during use:
1. The lock is not firm: due to the long-term transportation on the highway, once the lock used by the van is not strong enough, it is easy to cause the lock to open or fall off in the process of transportation problems. Not only endanger the safety of the vehicle, and even can cause car accidents.
2. Poor anti-theft, anti-skid, and anti-damage ability of locks: the van interior generally contains bulk or valuable items, once the use of the lock anti-theft, anti-pry and anti-damage ability is poor, it is easy to get locks pried and goods stolen, and bring serious property losses to drivers and businesses. Especially in the sparsely populated place, the lock of anti-theft, pry and damage ability requirements are higher.
3. Unstable lock structure: vans often face long-distance transportation, during which the vehicles often vibrate due to the complex road conditions. Therefore, if the internal structure of the commonly used lock is easy to dislocate and displacement, it is easy to cause the use of failure, which will bring inevitable trouble to open the car.
