Van maker LDV is expanding its Maxus line-up with the addition of chassis cab extended frame vehicles.

Available in its chassis cab, dropside and Luton derivatives from September 1, extended frame adds 750mm to the vehicle's length.

It features an uprated rear axle, with the plated weight increasing to 2300KG from the standard 2120KG., and an uprated wheel and tyre assembly.

Further new features include a new longer electrical harness, rear parabolic spring, CAT 6 side repeaters and new long arm mirrors.

MAXUS Extended Frame dropside and Luton vehicles cost £450 more than standard Dropside and Luton models.

Guy Jones, marketing director, said: "The newly launched extended frame range will provide our customers with a class-leading payload of up to 1,474kg alongside an internal load length of 4.20 metres for the extended frame dropside and 4.02 metres for the Luton."

All vehicles will come with MAXUS ONE, LDV’s four year/120,000 mile manufacturer’s warranty and MAXUS Assist which provides roadside assistance in the UK and Europe for two years.
