Sprinter Van Courier & Extra-Long Van Transport
The 4 metre Sprinter sits between a standard panel van and a Luton: extra load length for long or awkward items, without losing the manoeuvrability that makes van transport so useful in urban areas. Johnson's Haulage arranges Sprinter courier work nationwide for time-critical consignments.

Extra length without a bigger vehicle
The main reason customers ask for a Sprinter is load length. At 4.2 m internally it takes lengths that will not fit a standard LWB van, while still being able to access car parks, city-centre streets and sites with height restrictions that would stop a Luton or rigid.
Time-critical work, planned properly
Most Sprinter jobs we arrange are urgent: a line-down part, a missed delivery that needs recovering, or a job that has to be on site before a shift starts. We confirm the collection window at booking, monitor the run and call you if anything on the road changes the ETA rather than leaving you to chase.
Nationwide coverage from a single point of contact
Because we appoint carriers from an approved national network rather than running fixed routes, we can usually source a Sprinter close to your collection point wherever it is in the UK — which keeps the empty running, and therefore the cost, down.
Common questions
Frequently asked questions
What is the longest item a Sprinter van can carry?
Around 4.2 m, depending on how the item can be positioned. For anything longer we would look at a Luton, a rigid box or a flatbed.
How quickly can a Sprinter be on site?
For same day work in Greater Manchester and the wider North West, typically within one to two hours of confirming the booking, subject to carrier availability.
Can a Sprinter take four pallets?
Yes, provided the total weight stays under roughly 1,250 kg and the pallets are within 1.75 m in height.
Do you provide proof of delivery?
Yes — a signed POD is obtained at delivery and forwarded to you after the job is completed.
