Vehicle decision
Luton vs Transit decision points for Stowmarket
A Luton-style box van is considered when cubic space and furniture loading matter more than compact manoeuvrability. Around Stowmarket, it is most relevant for student moves, appliances and multi-box move days, but tight streets or height-restricted access can still make a smaller van more practical.
For Stowmarket, a tail lift can help with heavy items only when the item weight, ground surface, clear space and exact vehicle equipment are suitable. It should not be assumed for every move.
