Vans running out of Milton Park and Harwell Campus earn nothing standing still, so the load-rated cover is brought to the unit and fitted where the vehicle happens to be parked.
Didcot runs on working vehicles. Delivery and trade vans circulate around Milton Park, service vehicles head up the A4185 to Harwell Campus, and builders grind in and out of Great Western Park all day. Carrying a payload changes what a tyre puts up with: those square Milton Park roundabout kerbs cut into loaded sidewalls, and site nails on the Great Western Park roads go through a tread pressed hard against them.
Getting the right replacement means reading two things off the old sidewall: the load index, and whether a C or the word reinforced appears with it. A van rated to run fully laden needs a stiffer casing than the same size car tyre. Give that code, the registration, whether there is weight on board and where it stands in OX11, and the price is settled before anyone leaves. Fitting, balancing and torquing all take place beside it.
Milton Park service yards and the surface parking at Harwell Campus both suit a van, once the site knows to expect one. Ladygrove, Broadway and Great Western Park kerbs need no permit. Didcot Parkway's Foxhall Road bays work with a ticket showing.

About van tyre fitting nationwide → · Van tyre fitting on the Didcot page
Lifting a laden vehicle safely means firm and level ground, so a Milton Park service yard or a finished Great Western Park street beats a half-made site road. Unloading the heaviest items first takes strain off the jack. Electric vans weigh more per corner and their handbooks often name a load index and a noise rating to keep to. The work covers cars and vans, with no heavy goods vehicles.
