How To Choose The Right Van Size For Your Removal

 

One of the biggest decisions for any move is selecting an appropriately sized removal van to fit all your belongings. With so many moving van size options out there, it's crucial to understand what size you truly need to avoid overpaying or items not fitting properly. This guide will walk you through the various removal van sizes available and what each one can accommodate. 

 

Small-Medium Removal Van Sizes - For Studios/1-Beds


If you're moving out of a small studio or one-bedroom home, a compact removal van size like a Ford Transit Connect is likely sufficient. These small moving vans measure around 9-12 feet long with loading dimensions of 6'x4'x4'. The limited space is perfect for moving van sizes capable of holding just a room's worth of furniture, boxes and small appliances.

 

Medium-Large Removal Van Sizes - For 1-2 Bed Homes


Upgrading to a one-two-bedroom home? Then you'll want to look at medium removal van sizes in the 14-17 foot range. A Mercedes Sprinter is a popular medium van choice at around 12'x6'x6' loading space - providing enough moving van space to transport the contents of a couple of rooms including one or two furniture pieces, appliances and boxes.

 

Large Removal Van Sizes - For 2-3 Bed Properties


Those moving out of larger 2-3 bedroom houses or flats will require a large removal van to get the job done. Luton vans are a common large van option at around 16'x7'x7' - crucial moving van sizes for bulkier furniture from multiple rooms, major appliances and numerous boxes of possessions.

 

Extra-Large Removal Van Sizes - For Extensive Moves


In cases where even a large van won't cut it, you may need to look into extra-large removal van sizes. Massive vans like the 24' Iveco EuroCargo with around 20'x8'x8' of moving van space can transport contents from 3-4 bed homes, large offices or small warehouses when you have extensive belongings including larger furniture.

 

7.5 Tonne Truck Sizes - For Whole Home/Office Moves


The biggest urban removal van sizes come in the form of 7.5 tonne trucks which can move a larger 5 bed household or office. Loading dimensions range from 22'x8'x8' up to 28'x8'x8' in moving van space, depending on the specific 7.5 tonne model like a DAF LF or Iveco Eurocargo truck.

 

No matter what removal van size you select, always consider the accessibility of your current and new locations too. Larger moving vans can be challenging to maneuver on narrow streets or tight parking areas, and some removal van sizes larger than 7.5t can't be parked on residential streets.
