Removal Van Sizes: What Size Van Do You Need?

Choosing the right removal van size avoids wasted trips and wasted money. Here is a quick guide to the common van sizes and what each one is best for.

Small van (SWB)

A small wheelbase van suits single items, a few boxes or a studio flat. Ideal for marketplace collections and student moves.

Medium / LWB van

A long-wheelbase van handles a one-bed flat or the contents of a couple of rooms — a popular man-and-van size.

Luton van

A Luton van with a tail-lift is the workhorse of removals, carrying a two- to three-bedroom home. Most house moves use one or more Lutons.
