A builder can come up against all kinds of complications when trying to pick out a single model from a collection of vans aimed at workers in the construction trade. Vans can be classified as flatbed, tipper, low, tall, short or long. Alternatively, they could carry out an analysis of people choices e.g. identifying the reasons why they prefer one van model over all the others and what that says about their personality and priorities.
