Luton Van Hire in Reading | Unified Vehicle Hire

A Luton van — a box body over the cab giving roughly 18 to 20 cubic metres under 3.5 tonnes, drivable on a category B licence — is the maximum-volume choice for bulky loads. In Reading it suits removals and furniture moves, event and exhibition logistics, and the IT-rollout and equipment moves that the Thames Valley office parks around Thames Valley Park and Green Park generate. A tail-lift option handles heavy or awkward single items.

The trade-off is weight. With around 800 to 1,200 kg payload, a Luton fills on cube before weight, so it is the wrong tool for dense loads — for those a large van's higher payload is safer. Where a single item is heavier than a tail-lift handles, a specialist tail-lift vehicle is the alternative.

The box body and optional tail-lift make loading at the kerb or a loading bay straightforward, which matters for furniture and equipment moves across Reading's office estates and residential streets. State whether you need a tail-lift, the heaviest single item, and the total weight when you enquire — the payload limit on a 3.5-tonne Luton is easy to exceed with dense loads, so the introduction should reflect a van rated for the actual load.

Submit your requirement — vehicle, operating area across Reading and the surrounding area, hire term, and any commercial context. UVH reviews it and introduces one independent supplier whose fleet and service area fit.

The hire agreement is between your business and the supplier. UVH steps back after the introduction. No broker sits in the middle of the contract, no UVH margin in the rate.
