Vans volumes – what is 5, 10 and 15 m3?
Let’s start with visualisation of 1 cubic meter. You can think of a box 1-meter width, 1-meter height and 1-meter depth. 1 meter is equal to 3.4 feet or about 40 inch.
5 cubic meters
5 cubic meters will be made of 5 of such boxes. This will allow you to move up to 300kg. As its a part-load option it’s likely you will share a van with other customers, which makes our service very cost effective. In real world 5 cubic meters will translate to roughly quarter of standard luton van:
10 cubic meters
10 cubic meters option is another part-load option, which means that you will share the van with someone else. This volume can handle up to 600kg which is twice more in terms of size and weight in comparison to 5 cubic meters. 10 cubic meters will take up half of Luton van capacity:
15 cubic meters
15 m3 can take up to 1200 kg of weight. It’s a nearly full van, however, to make international removals more efficient and eco-friendly we switch this service to be part load. If you are looking for fastest option, we recommend 20m3 option
