The Best Van To Hire When Moving House

Moving house can be one of the most exciting times in your life, but it can also be one of the most stressful. Having to pack up your belongings and transport them to a new property can be quite hectic.

If you’re planning on moving house, then you have two options when it comes to transporting your belongings – use a professional moving service or hire a van to transport your possessions yourself to your new property.

As we offer self drive van hire in Stirling, we’re well-placed to recommend the best vans to hire when moving house.

Luton Box Van – The Perfect Moving Van

Size Matters – A Van With A Huge Capacity

Luton box vans are the most popular style of van to hire when moving house due to the size of the vehicle. With extra headroom, it can cater for large volumes of items and sizes of furniture and possessions to be stored and easily stacked inside the van. From wardrobes to mattresses, sofas to fridge freezers, these large and cumbersome items would be a struggle to fit in any van smaller than a Luton box van.

Luton Van With Tail Lift To Assist Loading and Unloading

Our Luton Box Vans come with a tail lift which means it’s easier to load your items into the back of the van. By using the tail lift, you can carry goods from the ground and lift them to van level to then store in the back of the van. The same is then done when unloading the items.

The tail lift is there to do the heavy lifting when carrying the goods from ground level to the van level and vice versa. This helps to prevent injuring yourself by lifting heavy goods on and off the van without assistance.

A Greater Payload Means Luton Vans Can Carry Heavier, Bulkier Items

The increased payload of a Luton Box Van means it’s capable of carrying heavier loads compared to other van types. When moving house, you’ll often be carrying a van full of items, many of which are heavy and bulky, which the Luton Box Van can often transport with ease. Fully loaded, a Luton box van can weigh 3.5 tonnes – which is the limit for anyone with a standard category B UK driving licence. Factoring in how the much the Luton weighs unloaded, you can carry approximately 800kg-1200kg worth of goods to your new home in a box van.

With internal dimensions of the Luton box van substantial for transporting goods (generally 4 metres in length, 2 metres wide and with a height of 2.1 metres – please always confirm before renting), it’s perfect for those long and bulky items, as well as providing ample space to load your possessions so fewer trips are needed between your old home and new property.
