Security posts height

[Wayne01]

Hi, I'm thinking of getting a telescopic security post however some of them have an height if 540mm -bottom to top. I'm concerned this may be too short. I'm about to pick up my van soon and so don't have it to measure plus it will be on 20" wheels. Does anyone have a similar set up above and Could measure for me ?


Thanks

I can assure you the van won’t be getting over 540mm I’m not sure anything would bar a monster truck

I was checking because I saw the height in this web site https://www.vanguide.co.uk/guides/vw-transporter-dimensions/

That looks like a slightly misleading dimension that could be to the underside of the bumper or other part of the bodywork and doesn’t look like the lowest part of the van. I haven’t measured but I’d be surprised if the ground clearance was even over 300mm.

Ground clearance is 202mm from that link. The 568mm measurement is the height of the load area sill.

If you have 20” wheels and something like 265/35ish tyres the height to the centre of the wheel is approx 340mm (254mm of wheel and approx 90mm of tyre) and the body work is well below that unless you have jacked it up massively.
