Vehicle decision

Luton vs Transit decision points for South Shields

A Luton-style box van is considered when cubic space and furniture loading matter more than compact manoeuvrability.

For South Shields, a tail lift can help with heavy items only when the item weight, ground surface, clear space and exact vehicle equipment are suitable. It should not be assumed for every move.
