What size of van?

lar316

My partner has won a 10'x8' shed on EBAY to be used to house all her rabbits. The question i want to ask is what size van do i need to hire to pick it up bearing in mind i assume the biggest panel will be the floor which is in one piece. I have my Class 2 (Cat C) driving license if needed. The shed will need dismantling, do you think it will be a hard job at all?

Many thanks thanks in advance.

ask the seller for the dimensions first.
you will probably need a luton type van. although some high top transit types will/may be ok across the back doors, (diagonaly).

ive had a garage door (off ebay too) inside a luton van easy.

I doubt the floor will be in one piece. My 7x5 shed floor was in two sections that screwed together.

Depends on how high it is & whether you are going to dismantle.

As well as length & width vans come with different heights.

Depends on quality.

My 10x8 is one piece.

Why not hire a 3500 kg pickup, like a Transit or Sprinter, that would be better than a van in this circumstance

I agree with robredz, a flat bed or small truck would be a better bet.

Disagree on the pickup/flatbed. It's 10 ft by 8 ft, What would you secure it to?
Needs to be a van that is 8ft high and 10 ft deep

Scotsman4th. What do you think loads are secured with all over the world, Ratchet Straps. They are not expensive, as you would not need very strong ones to strap down the panels of a shed on the back of a lorry/pick-up. The shed would be transported as separate panels.

I'd recommend a trainsit van!
