You can get 1 mower plus a few bits to the side (double cab width is generally around 80cm for the "back" area) then whatever on top, so in theory you could get half of your stuff in there if you're effficient with t he racking points etc.
Depends on the mowers I suppose. I have a lawnflite high speed (non folding handles) and two stigas and neither of those would be short enough folded to get two in. However Im sure there are some mowers where you could.
Okay - I have done this personally. Things to note - you will NOT practically get two mowers in the double cab space and you will have to be careful with the measurements to ensure ONE fits at all. For example, I had a Citroen Relay Double-cab tipper - a LawnFlite Pro 21" mower JUST fitted widthways with the front wheel jammed up the opposite door and the drive levers nearly resting on the glass of the opposite door. I managed to fit some knapsack sprayers and odds and ends above but there wasn't a lot of space left.
Everything else ended up in custom built boxes behind the dropsides in the tipper bed - seemed like a good idea but in practical terms didn't work. Despite best efforts of sealant, seals and all manner of adjustments things constantly got wet and tools became rusty quite quickly.
If I can retrieve some photos off another computer I will show you what I made.
In practical terms only had the truck for a year or so before it was disposed of.

If the link works (should be clickable) - that's what I went to next - unfortunately engine failure killed that one - a few years later - I am back in a panel van!
As regards the tools getting wet in the tipper tried silicone, metal casings, you name it, could NOT keep the water out and the grass 'juice' and the dust when chipping into the back.
