Vehicle decision
Luton vs Transit decision points
For Beckenham, a luton-style box van is considered when cubic space and furniture loading matter more than compact manoeuvrability. It may suit bulky furniture, appliances, office moves or multi-box loads, but it can be less convenient in tight streets or height-restricted areas.
For Beckenham, a tail-lift can help with heavy items, but it is not automatically the best answer for every move. Weight, surface, access and the exact vehicle details must be checked.
