Transit Vans

[Baxter]

Hi all,

I'm looking to move a three piece suite and i believe a transit swb will do the job, has anyone got any experience of this?

Cheers

It'll be a squeeze, depends how big the suite is. I don't know if you'll get the chairs in as well. I always um on the big side with vans, nothing worse than not quite having enough space

I used a SWB transit to move out from my parents, i could only fit one 3 seater in there, with a small gap down the side for stuff. The sofa used practically the whole van.

You will need the biggest you can find, unless you could perhaps put the chairs upside down on top of the sofa?

i could put the chairs upside down but i don't really have a problem making a couple of trips if i have to, just moving it from my parents house to my house.

I a SWB transit I've recently shifted:

1) A pair of two-seater sofa's, I doubt you could get another bit of furniture in.

2) A three seater sofa and a 1.5 seater chair. Could have got another chair in if there was one.

Is it the new transit or the older model, the new one in SWB guise is 2582 mm load length

i don't know, i'll be picking it up in the morning, i've been looking around but have struggled to find the specs for older models. As it's a hire company i'd be suprised if it's anymore than 3 years old.

Might not even by a Ford Transit. Most companies use that as a generic term for that size van.

My last two 'Transits' have been a Fiat and a VW.

from my experience with this company they seem to use mostly ford.

Try and find a LWB Merc Sprinter to rent, bloomin massive they are!

I've already booked it, and i like this company, £30 for 24 hours.

In Leicester, i get a slight company discount for mentioning where i work.
