UK same-day medium van courier. More space, same speed.
When the job is too big for a small van but doesn't need a full Sprinter — a vetted Fortis driver in a Transit Custom or Transporter is the answer. Up to 800 kg, 6 m³ of load space, and the same 30–60 minute collection promise as every Fortis service.
The most versatile van on the road.
The medium van — Transit Custom, Transporter, Trafic — is the workhorse of UK courier work. It fits through standard-width streets, can usually park without a loading bay permit, and handles the vast majority of what businesses need to move urgently.
Double the volume of a small van, at a load length that clears most trade-standard items. If you're regularly sending 20+ boxes or items over 1.8 m long, the medium van is your baseline. Heavier or bulkier? Step up to our large van service.
Use this quick checklist. If your load ticks three or more boxes, the medium van is your service.
- Load is 15–40 medium boxes
- Items up to ~100 kg each
- Longest item up to 2.5 m
- Total load 400–800 kg
- Trade tools or equipment cases
- Small furniture or display units
All-in price. No account needed.
The van that gets it done.
From trade tools to event materials — if it needs to be there today, the medium van courier delivers.
20–40 cardboard boxes, stock deliveries, archive transfers — when a small van runs out of space but you don't need a full Sprinter.
Power tools, site equipment, specialist kit. The medium van is the workhorse for tradespeople supplying urgent materials to jobs.
Laptops, servers, monitors, printers, networking gear — deliveries that are too bulky for a bike but don't fill a large van.
Single sofas, desks, display units, retail fittings — items that wouldn't squeeze into a small van but don't warrant a Luton.
Urgent restocks for shops, market stalls or pop-ups. Get the right product to the right place before the day's trading peaks.
Display boards, banners, pop-up stands, smaller exhibition kits — perfect for the setup day when timing is everything.
Medium van courier — your questions answered.
When should I choose a medium van over a small van?
If your load is more than 15 medium boxes, weighs over 400 kg, or includes items longer than 1.8 m, you need a medium van. It's also the right choice when you have bulkier individual items — such as office chairs, display units or equipment cases — that would be a squeeze in a small van.
Can two people ride in the medium van?
The operator van typically has space for one passenger in the cab alongside the driver. If you need a two-person team for loading and unloading, note this when booking and we'll match you with an operator who has a suitable vehicle.
Is there a minimum booking distance?
No minimum distance. We handle short urban runs across a single city as well as cross-country deliveries. Pricing scales with distance, so short runs are proportionally cheaper.
How many boxes can a medium van carry?
A medium van can typically hold 20–40 standard moving boxes depending on size, plus awkward items alongside. If in doubt, book the larger option — the price step between medium and large is smaller than the cost of needing a second van.
Is there a tail-lift on medium vans?
Medium vans typically don't carry tail-lifts — they're loading-dock height vehicles. If you need a tail-lift for kerbside unloading of heavy items, book a Luton van courier instead.
How does payment and insurance work?
You pay up front and your money is held in escrow by Fortis until you confirm delivery. Every booking includes Fortis Cover — goods-in-transit insurance up to £25,000. The driver is PLI-verified and vehicle-insured before joining the network.
