About this van

The Luton curtain side has the same body as the Luton box. A 4.2m by 2.0m floor, 2.1m of height and a payload of up to 1,000kg, which is six standard pallets. What changes is how the load gets on and off.

Loading from the side

The curtains run the full length of the body and pull back, so a forklift drives up and places pallets straight onto the bed. Nothing has to be walked in through rear doors, turned, or dragged down the length of a box, which is where time goes and where pallets get damaged.

Why that matters at a bay

On a palletised run the loading is usually the slow part rather than the driving. Side access turns a twenty minute load into a few minutes at each end. On a job with several collections, or a goods-in queue at the far end, that saved time is what keeps the delivery window honest.

Same capacity as the box

Six standard pallets, up to 1,000kg, 4.2m by 2.0m by 2.1m. If your goods need to stay fully enclosed behind a hard side, or the load is bulky rather than palletised, the Luton box is the one to book.

How we run it

Dedicated transport, collection to drop, no depot and no transfer. Live tracking on every booking, same-day bookings until 4pm, FORS approved.

  • Long or awkward loads

Luton curtain side questions

A Luton body with curtains along both sides instead of solid panels. They pull back along the full length, so a forklift can load pallets straight onto the bed rather than working through the rear doors.

Loading speed and forklift access. If your pallets are put on by a forklift at one or both ends, side loading saves real time. If the load is bulky, loose or needs a hard enclosed side, book the box.

Six standard UK pallets with up to 1,000kg across them, exactly the same as the Luton box. The body dimensions are identical at 4.2m by 2.0m by 2.1m.

The curtains buckle down along the length and the load is strapped to the bed as it would be in any vehicle. For goods that need a hard side the whole way, the Luton box is the better booking.

Yes, that is what this vehicle is for. Let us know at the booking stage that a forklift is loading, and if there is one at the delivery end too, because that changes how long we allow at each stop.

Yes. Palletised blocks, bagged aggregates, boards and fixings all suit side loading. Give us the weight as well as the pallet count, because dense materials hit the 1,000kg limit long before the bed fills.
