Small Van (e.g., VW Caddy)

VW Caddy van
  • Dimensions: Length 1.7m, Width 1.5m, Height 1.2m
  • Capacity: 2m3

This van is great for small, light removals, such as a few boxes or compact items like a washing machine. Its small size makes it perfect for navigating narrow streets and tight parking spaces.

Medium Van (e.g., Ford Transit SWB)

Ford Transit SWB van
  • Dimensions: Length 2.4m, Width 1.7m, Height 1.4m
  • Capacity: 5m3

If you’re moving out of a one-bedroom flat, this van will accommodate your larger furniture like beds, small sofas, and kitchen appliances while still being easy to drive around urban areas.

Large Van (e.g., Ford Transit LWB)

Ford Transit LWB van
  • Dimensions: Length 3.4m, Width 1.7m, Height 1.8m
  • Capacity: 10m3

For two-bedroom homes, this van has ample space for more furniture, including large wardrobes, dining tables, and white goods. It’s ideal for medium office relocations too.

Extra-Large Van (e.g., Mercedes Sprinter LWB)

Mercedes Sprinter LWB van
  • Dimensions: Length 4.2m, Width 1.7m, Height 1.8m
