Vehicle guidance

Choosing the right removal vehicle

The right vehicle depends on what is actually moving, not just the number of bedrooms. We publish capacity so the conversation can start from a measurable fact.

Five confirmed capacities

AFS operates five published vehicle sizes: a 350 cubic foot Small Transit, 500 cubic foot Transit LWB, 900 cubic foot Luton Box Van, 1,250 cubic foot 5.5 tonne lorry and 1,600 cubic foot 7.5 tonne lorry.

Why inventory matters

Bedroom count is only a starting point. Storage, garden equipment, large furniture and the number of boxes can materially change the load. Describing these items early helps the team recommend a vehicle and crew based on the real volume.

Minimum booking times

The smaller vans have a two-hour minimum. The Luton, 5.5 tonne and 7.5 tonne vehicles have a three-hour minimum. A larger vehicle can avoid a second trip, but the suitable choice should be confirmed against your move rather than assumed from a generic property label.
