Cargo space
4.50 × 1.70 × 1.90 m
Rated volume approx. 15.9 m³. Use these three figures to test whether a long or tall item will fit.
Vehicle footprint
6.75 × 2.03 × 2.80 m
Useful when you are planning parking, kerbside access and height clearance.
Payload
Approx. 1,100 kg
The total weight of everything you load, not a per-item limit.
Vehicle dimensions and usable loading space are approximate and can vary slightly between equivalent van models. The rated volume is larger than the simple box of the three cargo measurements (about 14.5 m³), so use the rated figure to compare vans and the box measurements to check individual items.

Best for
When the Extra Large Van makes sense
It suits jobs where volume, length or several addresses would otherwise mean extra runs.
- 01
Home moves
Bulky furniture, appliances and a lot of boxes in one load.
- 02
Flat and apartment moves
Where a smaller van would need several runs up and down the stairs.
- 03
Office relocations
Desks, chairs, boxed equipment and storage units together.
- 04
Storage runs
Bigger batches of belongings to or from a self-storage unit.
- 05
Bulky item transport
More cargo length for long, awkward household furniture.
- 06
Multi-stop moves
Collections or deliveries that call at more than one address.
Whether a particular move fits depends on the actual inventory, not on the number of bedrooms.
Why size matters
A bigger van can mean a simpler move
With a smaller vehicle
- More loading cycles
- Possibly more journeys
- Items handled again and again
- A bigger chance of running out of space
With the Extra Large Van
- More items loaded together
- Better suited to bulky pieces
- More freedom in how the load is packed
- Fewer avoidable return trips when the inventory fits
Fewer trips are not guaranteed. They depend on whether your inventory fits.

On the van
Prepared for moving day
A large van only helps if the load can be handled and secured properly. It is equipped with practical moving equipment for safer transport.
Removal blankets
Wrap furniture so edges and finishes are protected in transit.
Trolley
Moves boxes and heavy items along the route without carrying every one.
Securing straps
Hold the load in place so it does not shift on the road.
Bungee cords
Keep lighter items and loose parts from moving about.
Basic moving tools
For simple adjustments on the day.
Access
Check access before the van arrives
