Booking a delivery in Singapore<\/a> and not sure whether you need a van or a lorry? You’re not alone. The right choice depends on the size and weight<\/a> of your items, your budget, and whether the destination has any access restrictions. Get it wrong and you’ll either overpay for a vehicle you didn’t need, or underestimate and be unable to fit your load.<\/span><\/p>\n

This guide breaks it down clearly so you can book with confidence.<\/span><\/p>\n

The short answer<\/b><\/h2>\n

Van for moves under ~1.5 tonnes or when you need to access HDB car parks and tight residential areas. Lorry for heavy loads, bulky furniture, or commercial transfers above 1.5 tonnes.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
