Suppose you have ever moved home and decided to hire your van to carry all of your furniture that belongs to your new home. In that case, you will understand that a whole world of vans is available in every size you can imagine. Almost inevitably, you either end up hiring a van that is too small to fit your sofa or bed into or one so big that all of your furniture flies around inside every time you drive around a roundabout.
Anyway, back to the van sizes. Suppose you want to buy an item online but would rather collect it than rely on delays through postal services. In that case, you don’t need to worry about anything other than giving the rental company the size and weight of your goods and they will sort you out with just the right van size. They will take care of everything else, including finding the right-sized vehicle to deal with your needs.

Here are a few statistics about some of the van sizes available:
Small Vans – can usually take up to one standard pallet filled with parcels and a weight of around 400 kilograms. The overall measurements of the packages that can be carried in a small van are those around 1 metre high, 1.4 metres wide, and 1.5 metres long.
Transit Vans – are slightly bigger than your standard small van and can take around two pallets full of goods with a combined weight of around 900 kilograms. The measurements for a parcel or goods are up to 1.35 metres high, 1.64 metres wide, and 2.4 metres long.
Long Wheel Base Vehicles – can take around three pallets of items with a combined weight of 1200 kilograms. The measurements are up to 1.8 metres high, 1.75 metres wide, and 3.2 metres long.
Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGV) – If you need to have more than four pallets in total or if your package has a combined weight of more than 1200 kilograms, then either a 7.5-tonne or 44-tonne HGV is your best option.
Those are just four of the many options available in van sizes. But you don’t need to worry about them; that’s what you contact professionals for.
