Vans like mine....Ford Transit vans or similar ones such as the Mercedes Sprinter and the Iveco Daily almost always have a high roof and a long wheel base (LWB). The average height man can stand upright inside these vans..so about 6 ft. They all differ slightly in size and it's always best to check with you man and van of hire company before booking these, especially if you have very tall fridges that need to stand upright in transit. Vans like these are best used for smaller jobs like the ones I would do. They are ideal for small flats, student moves, large ebay items, piano moving and small office moves.etc. They do not usually have tail lifts, but a step up the back to make loading easier. I carry a heavy duty ramp in mine to make loading of pianos and heavy items much easier and safer. Most of these type removals vans have side doors so that you can also load from the pavement. Mine has side doors on both sides. They are very convenient to park and ideal for narrow roads or country lanes. They usually take driver plus 2 passengers, so you might be able to ride along depending on how many men you hire.
