LUTON VAN HIRE

Luton vans with their box-shaped bodies, positioned above the wheels, maximise cargo space, eliminating wheel arches and other intrusions. They also offer extra width compared to panel vans, plus convenient overhead storage above the cab for light, bulky items like cushions and clothing.

Luton vans typically feature standing height and are designed for easy securing of large items. A key advantage too is the availability of tail lifts on some models, simplifying the ground-to-van loading and unloading of heavy or bulky objects. Be sure to specifically request a tail lift when booking if needed.

Luton vans offer the largest cargo capacity of any 3.5-tonnevehicle. A typical size is 4m long, 2m wide, and 2m high, plus the additional 'luton' space above the cab. This versatility makes them ideal for small removals, house clearances, furniture transport, and similar applications. The flat floor and vertical sides simplify securing furniture and other loads, maximising usable space.

Maximum load weight is generally 1000-1200kg. If you require a tail lift, confirm its presence when booking, as not all Luton vans have them. Luton van’s without tail lifts typically offer a higher payload due to the tail lift's weight.

If you're new to driving a Luton van, remember that they arewider and slightly more top-heavy than panel vans, especially when loaded. Take corners slower and brake earlier than you would in a car. Ensure your mirrors are properly adjusted for clear side views and enlist assistance when reversing in tight spaces. With these tips, you should have a smooth move.
