Rubberduck Bathrooms Expands Local Delivery Fleet

Here at Rubberduck Bathrooms we have taken another big step forward in improving our customer service and operational efficiency by adding a Luton van to our local delivery fleet. The Ford Transit Luton 35 van upgrade comes as part of the company’s ongoing investment in faster, safer, and greener deliveries to meet growing customer demand across the region.

The addition of the Luton van is more than just an upgrade, it’s a move designed to make every stage of the delivery process smoother, quicker, and more sustainable. With increasing orders from both online customers and in-store shoppers, the new van will help Rubberduck Bathrooms keep up with demand while supporting its expansion into new product lines, including ceramic tile, porcelain tile, and exterior paving tiles.

A Smarter, More Efficient Delivery Solution

One of the biggest advantages of the new Ford Transit Luton 35 is its tail lift system, which allows the warehouse and delivery teams to load and unload goods with ease. This simple but powerful feature has transformed how the company handles deliveries. It reduces the need for heavy lifting, meaning fewer strain-related injuries for staff and faster turnaround times for customers waiting on their bathroom products.

By introducing a lift-assisted van, Rubberduck Bathrooms has cut down on manual product handling, a major benefit when moving bulky or fragile items like bathroom suites, furniture, and soon, pallets of tiles. Less handling means fewer touchpoints, which helps reduce the risk of accidental drops or damage during transport.

Ready for Tile Deliveries and Future Growth

The new Luton van also supports the company’s plans to expand into the tile market. Thanks to its larger load capacity and pallet-friendly design, the team can now transport heavy tile deliveries more efficiently. Instead of unloading tiles by hand, full pallets can be moved on and off the van in minutes. This upgrade will not only improve delivery times but also make large-scale orders easier for both the warehouse team and customers.

With the expansion into ceramic, porcelain, and outdoor tiles, the van’s ability to handle heavy palletised goods will be essential in supporting the company’s growth and future logistics. It’s a practical investment that ensures Rubberduck Bathrooms is ready to meet the increasing demand for full home renovation products, not just bathrooms, but kitchens and flooring too.

Supporting the Northallerton Showroom Expansion

This delivery upgrade also plays an important role in the company’s continued growth across North Yorkshire, especially with the opening of its new showroom in Northallerton. The Luton van’s larger load capacity means the team can now transport bigger deliveries, including kitchens, displays, and showroom products, between stores and warehouses with ease.

The new showroom aims to bring even more choice to customers in the local area, and the expanded delivery fleet ensures that orders can be fulfilled quickly and efficiently, without compromising on quality or care.

Cleaner, Greener, and ULEZ Compliant

In addition to its practical benefits, the new Ford Transit Luton 35 also supports Rubberduck Bathrooms’ commitment to sustainability. The van is ULEZ compliant, meaning it meets the latest low-emission standards and helps the company reduce its carbon footprint.

Replacing the older Citreon Relay LWB van, this newer model offers improved fuel efficiency and cleaner emissions. For customers, this means supporting a business that is taking responsible steps towards greener operations and more sustainable logistics.

A Step Forward for Service and Sustainability

This latest investment marks another milestone in Rubberduck Bathrooms’ mission to deliver high-quality products with excellent local service. By improving efficiency, safety, and sustainability, the company continues to raise the bar for bathroom and home improvement deliveries in the UK.

Whether delivering a full bathroom suite, a new set of kitchen units, or soon, a pallet of premium tiles, the upgraded delivery fleet ensures every order arrives on time, in great condition, and with a smaller environmental impact.
