When it comes to renting a van, you have a variety of options available to suit your specific transportation needs.

When choosing a van for rental, consider the size and weight of your load, the nature of your transportation requirements, and any specific features necessary to ensure the safe and efficient transportation of your goods. Each type of van offers unique advantages, so understanding their capabilities will help you make the right decision for your specific needs.

  1. Short Wheelbase (SWB) Vans: SWB vans are compact and agile, making them perfect for navigating through busy city streets and narrow roads. They provide a good balance between manoeuvrability and cargo space. SWB vans are suitable for smaller moves, transporting lightweight items, or running local errands. These vans are often fuel-efficient and cost-effective, making them a popular choice for individuals and small businesses.
  2. Long Wheelbase (LWB) Vans: LWB vans offer a larger cargo capacity compared to SWB vans. With their extended length, they provide more space for transporting medium-sized loads or larger quantities of goods. LWB vans are commonly used for commercial purposes, such as deliveries, transporting inventory, or moving larger items. Their increased cargo space allows for better organization and efficient loading.
  3. Luton Tail lift Vans: Luton Tail lift vans feature a distinct box-shaped design with an overhead storage compartment, providing maximum cargo space. These vans are equipped with a tail lift mechanism, making it easier to load and unload heavy or bulky items. Luton Tail lift vans are popular choices for house moves, furniture deliveries, or any task that requires lifting and manoeuvring substantial loads.
  4. Low Loaders: Low Loaders, also known as Low Loader vans, are specifically designed for transporting heavy machinery, vehicles, or oversized goods. They feature a lowered floor and a hydraulic loading ramp, allowing for easy and safe loading and unloading. Low Loaders are commonly used in industries such as construction, event logistics, or any business that requires moving large, heavy objects.
  5. Tippers: Tippers are specialised vans that have a hydraulic lifting mechanism at the rear, enabling the bed of the van to be tilted and goods to be unloaded easily. These vans are commonly used for construction projects, landscaping, waste management, and other tasks where materials need to be dumped or unloaded quickly and efficiently.
  6. Flatbeds: Flatbed vans have an open cargo area without any sides or roof, providing a versatile solution for transporting oversized, irregularly shaped, or heavy goods. They are commonly used in construction, transportation of building materials, or any industry that requires easy loading and unloading from the sides or top of the vehicle.
