What Size Van Do I Need to Move?

19 September 2022

When it comes to moving house, moving furniture or just simply taking some rubbish to the dump, it can be difficult to understand what size van you might need for the job. This blog will help you decide what sort of size van is correct for you and your move! Handy has a big range of vans available all the way from Small to Large. They can do all those small bits and bobs to the slightly more taxing moves. Our biggest one can even move the equivalent to a small 1 bedroom flat move.

Small Cargo Van

Our small cargo van is a great little utility vehicle that can move a wide range of things, like bits of furniture, rubbish or even in some cases small bedrooms worth of stuff! These are often used by couriers to complete runs when they have a vehicle off the road. The van has an average size of 6 cubic meters. Which is roughly a height of 1.3m a length of 2.8m and a width of 1.5m which makes it the perfect little van for moving in the tight streets.

Medium Cargo Van

Our medium cargo van, just like our small van, the medium  is a great little utility vehicle that can move an even wider range of things, rubbish, furniture and a small bedrooms worth of stuff. This van will even fit a queen bed in the back. These vans are also very popular with couriers because they have slightly more roof space than the small cargo van. The van has an average size of 7 cubic meters. Which is roughly a height of 1.5m a length of 2.8m and a width of 1.5m which also makes it perfect for a little van for moving around in tight streets.

Large Cargo Van

Our Large cargo van is a wider and taller version of our other cargo vans, this vehicle is truly a great size, sitting between the bigger trucks and the smaller vans, its a perfect middle ground for moving large items in tight spaces. This van is good to move a standard 1 bedroom flat and actually has roughly the same cargo space as one of our small trucks. The average size of this van is about 10 cubic meteres, it has 3.4m of cargo length, 1.6m high and 1.7m wide. This is really a great van and a great choice for any 1 bedroom flat moves.

In Conclusion
Our cargo vans are great for all kinds of jobs, not just limited to the ones we listed above. They can do a number of things. For any bigger moves check out our guide on what size truck do I need.
