Small Van courier FAQs
How many boxes fit in a small van?
Around 2.3–2.9 cubic metres of load space, typically 25–35 standard archive boxes depending on size. Payload is usually around 500–600 kg.
Can a small van take a pallet?
Generally no — a euro pallet (1.2m wide) will not fit in most small vans. Choose an SWB van or larger for palletised goods.
Is a small van cheaper than a large van?
For small loads, yes. Small vans usually quote lower than SWB or LWB vans for the same route, so choose the smallest vehicle that fits your load.
