Why choose a
short wheelbase van?
You might know these vans as transit vans rather than short wheelbases. Whatever the name, they’re the ideal choice for transporting medium-sized loads.
Short wheelbase vans have enough room in the back for one or two large pieces of furniture and they’ll cope with a small flat or house move if you don’t mind making multiple trips. If you’re planning to work on a building project, these vans are also the perfect size for transporting 8×4 plasterboard.
Short wheelbases are hugely versatile, they’re easy to drive and manoeuvre, and they have enough space to carry out most jobs. If you need to move smaller items like bags and boxes and were thinking of hiring a small van, hiring a short wheelbase instead will save you from making multiple trips.
