Which Vehicle Do You Need for Your Deliveries?
Choosing the right courier vehicle is a critical part of planning efficient and reliable deliveries. Whether you’re transporting urgent materials, construction tools, palletised goods, or fragile equipment, selecting a delivery vehicle that matches your cargo, weight and access requirements can save time, reduce costs and prevent damage. Redhead Couriers has over 18 years of experience providing express courier services across Essex, the South East and the UK and our fleet is designed to meet every delivery need.
For smaller shipments or single-pallet deliveries, a small van with internal dimensions of 1.9m x 1.2m x 1.1m and a maximum weight of 650Kg is ideal. It can carry one pallet efficiently and is perfect for tight urban areas, urgent delivery, or quick same-day deliveries. For slightly larger loads, an extra long lo-loader van or extra large lo-loader high-top van can handle up to four pallets with internal lengths of 4.2m, making them suitable for medium-sized construction deliveries, express delivery, or multiple tools and materials.
When you need access to sites with more substantial equipment or bulkier shipments, a Luton curtain side with tail lift or drop side flatbed LWB van can carry six pallets and feature a tail lift for easier loading and unloading. These vehicles are ideal for transporting building supplies, urgent construction materials, or fragile equipment safely and efficiently.
For larger-scale deliveries, including commercial or industrial construction projects, our 7.5T curtain side with tail lift, 18T curtain side with tail lift, and 26T curtain side trucks provide capacities ranging from nine to sixteen pallets and maximum weights from 3,000Kg to 15,000Kg. Some of our largest vehicles even come with mounted forklifts or sliding roofs, allowing safe transport of heavy machinery, bulk building materials and pallet deliveries over long distances.
Selecting the correct courier vehicle isn’t just about size, it’s also about speed, accessibility and safety. Tail lifts, curtain sides and forklift capabilities ensure that even heavy or awkward loads are transported efficiently, reducing the risk of damage and saving valuable time. Our experienced drivers and fleet managers at Redhead Couriers can advise on the best courier vehicle for your express delivery, whether it’s a small urgent parcel, multiple pallets, or industrial deliveries.
For all your delivery needs, from construction site materials to urgent tools and plans, choosing the right courier vehicle ensures your items arrive safely, on time and without complication.
