Whether you are running a removal business or starting one, a removal truck is a necessity. A commercial removal truck increases your removal capacity and is more versatile than a personal vehicle. You can find a suitable removal lorry or van on eBay that suits your needs.

The capacity of various removal trucks

  • Cargo van: Has a capacity of about seven cubic metres and a load weight of 1-1.5 tonnes. It is suitable for moving clients with about 30 to 40 boxes.
