Oftentimes, you need to work out the size of the removal van from beforehand. It may feel like a challenging and complicated process. However, if you take time to understand a few basics about van sizes, you may conceptualise the right size of your van. This way you will neither overestimate, and nor underestimate the actual size of the van that is needed. Below is an outline of the most common van sizes used by the removal companies in Barnsley.
Some standard removal van sizes and their carrying capacity
Let’s look at some of the standard van sizes used for removal.
Medium wheels base van
The Medium Wheels Base Van is the most common type of removal van. It usually has a high roof. This feature makes the loading and van arrangement significantly easier. Its medium size is a perfectly suitable option for people moving out of small apartments. On average, an MWB is known to carry approximately 40 boxes and comfortably fit all the furniture pieces from a studio or one-bedroom apartment. It usually has a loading capacity of approximately 380 cubic feet.
Wheels base transit van
Otherwise known as the Jumbo Transits, these vans are suitable for two-bedroom flats removals. They can fit around 70 boxes with a 380-440 cubic feet loading capacity. For a rough idea, this van has a size of a standard garage.
The button van
The Lutton van usually comes in two sizes: 3.5 Tonne and 7.5 Tonne, respectively. The 3.5 Tonne van is around the size of 560 cubic feet. It has an extremely narrow body, which makes it easy to get in and out of small streets. Because of its robust size, it can move up to 90 boxes, i.e. almost a fully-furnished two-bedroom house. On the other hand, the 7.5 Tonne Lutton van has a loading capacity of up to 650 cubic feet. In other words, it can move a three-bedroom house.
