Four new XLWB vans join the fleet: expanding 4-pallet same-day capacity across the South East
Tasito expands same-day capacity with four new XLWB vans. Transport up to 4 Euro pallets or 4.2m loads direct across London & the South East. Book online.
Four extra-long wheelbase (XLWB) same-day courier vans joined the Tasito fleet this month, boosting our four-pallet payload capacity by a third. Fully operational now, these new vehicles are already on the road across Essex, London, and our core South East logistics routes.
The mid-fleet challenge: eliminating the "in-between" load
In B2B courier logistics, the XLWB van solves a frequent operational headache. Cargo that exceeds standard long-wheelbase dimensions but doesn't quite require a boxy Luton van often creates an awkward middle ground.
Previously, clients facing this volume gap had to split cargo across two smaller vans or pay premium rates for an under-utilised, larger truck. With 4.2 metres of usable floor length and room for four standard Euro pallets, our XLWB additions consolidate those awkward or oversized loads into a single, direct, cost-effective run.
Key vehicle specifications
- Payload capacity: Up to 1,000 kg
- Load length: 4.2 metres
- Pallet capacity: 4 standard Euro pallets (1200mm x 800mm)
- Access: Full-height rear doors and wide sliding side door
Why XLWB vans are great for commercial freight: key benefits
Adding XLWB capacity isn't just about extra length; it actively changes how efficiently your business can move goods:
- Lower costs per unit delivered: Moving four full pallets in one vehicle instead of booking two smaller vans instantly reduces total transport spend and cuts administrative overhead.
- Ideal for long & irregular loads: Beyond palletised freight, the 4.2-metre floor bed makes XLWB vans the ultimate vehicle for extra-long cargo (such as architectural metalwork, timber lengths, pipework, event staging, and exhibition displays that simply will not fit in standard LWB vans).
- Faster same-day turnaround: Because XLWB panel vans travel at standard motorway speeds and are easier to manoeuvre through urban congestion than rigid HGVs or large Luton vans, your high-priority cargo gets delivered faster without site access delays.
- Enhanced cargo protection: Featuring fully enclosed, metal-walled bodywork with heavy-duty internal tie-down points, XLWB vans protect sensitive or high-value freight from adverse weather and transit movement far better than curtain-side alternatives.
FORS approved reliability
Like every vehicle operating under the Tasito banner, all four new XLWB vans are FORS approved, ensuring compliance with strict safety and environmental operational standards.
