What Size Removals Van Do I Need?

What Size Removals Van Do I Need?

When you are moving your furniture from your house, quantities like 600 cubic feet and 3.5 tons can look uselessly abstract in connection with your real boxes, sofas, tables and beds.

Each furniture has its own cubic feet size value that helps in gauging the volume of the van that you require to transport your items. For instance, a medium-sized box is approximately 3 cubic feet, while a freezer is around 30 cubic feet. Hence, 20 fridge-freezer or 200 boxes can fit nicely into a van that is 600 cubic feet.

However, if you are calculating, you have to consider furniture items can be awkward, misshapen and bulky, thus it is a good idea to overestimate the actual amount of space that you need.

Long Wheelbase Transit (LWB)

If you are clearing out your lock up or garage or you are moving from or to a furnished property, this is the right van for you. It can transport lots of boxes plus larger household items. A standard LWB job can contain twenty medium-sized boxes, a large TV, double bed, 2 & 3 seater sofa, microwave and a fridge-freezer.

Medium Wheelbase Transit (MWB)

It can move up to thirty medium-sized boxes, approximately enough to fill your shed. If you need to move furniture items, you should subtract their volume from your box number. For example, if you wish to include your washing machine, you will have to account for around six boxes worth of space.

3.5 Ton Luton Body Van

The van can transport around 20 to 25 medium-sized boxes and bulkier items like a 2 & 3 seater sofas, 2 double beds, 2 wardrobes, fridge, cooker and washing machine. Most of the one and two-bedroom flat owners prefer a 3.5-ton van.
