SWB 1‑Tonne Panel Vans

SWB (Short Wheelbase) Panel Vans

Easy to drive and perfect for small jobs like furniture moves or tip runs. Tip-registered SWBs. Need a permit for a tip run? We’ll help with the paperwork.

The majority of vans in our fleet at this size vehicle are Ford Transit Customs. A real workhorse, suitable for everything from moving sofas to transporting pallets, this size of van is a popular choice. All our transit vans have side loading doors, double back doors and are easy to drive.

With a load volume of around 6m³, a load length of approximately 2.4m, and an internal height of 1.4m, our SWB vans are perfect for small house moves, tip runs, or transporting furniture, white goods, and tools. Easy to drive and ideal for tighter roads or urban areas.

The van was spot on - clean, tidy and was available as soon as I got there to collect. Glad I upgraded to the larger van as you always under estimate the amount of space you need and it saved us doing more trips back and forth. Will definitely use again :)

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Used U Drive the other weekend and was very impressed with the whole experience from the minute I arrived in their Reception area to actually being shown the vehicle I was going to use. The vehicle was easy to drive, a smooth ride and perfect for the removal of my daughter I was doing. All this along with the value for money on top of this I have no hesitation in recommending them to others to use.
