Reliable Removals & Transport Services in Halifax & Across the UK
Based in Bradford, Man With Van Long Wheelbase provides dependable, affordable, and professional moving and transport services across West Yorkshire (within a 1-hour radius), with nationwide travel available for larger contracts. Operating a fully equipped Ford Transit Long Wheelbase (LWB) van, we offer flexible solutions for house moves, single-item transport, business deliveries and courier service in Halifax.
Why Halifax customers book us
Calderdale is steep and its streets are narrow. Many Halifax terraces have no vehicle access to the front door, a flight of stone steps, or a back street barely wider than the van. Up the valley in Sowerby Bridge, Mytholmroyd, Hebden Bridge and Todmorden it gets tighter still, with cobbled lanes and cottages stacked one above the other. We plan for it: a walk of the route before loading, a trolley for the steps, and a long wheelbase Transit that's narrower than a Luton and turns more sharply. Where a bigger van would give up and park at the bottom of the hill, we usually get to the door.
In Halifax town centre we work around the Piece Hall and Broad Street pedestrian zones, the Dean Clough complex and the apartment blocks along the canal. Out towards Skircoat Green, Savile Park and Copley the houses are larger and the moves fuller, and towards Elland, Brighouse and Hipperholme it's mostly family semis and new estates.
Because Halifax and Bradford are so close, moves between the two are quick and cheap, and we're often booked for smaller jobs, a sofa from a seller in Ovenden, a washing machine to a flat in Illingworth, a student's room from Halifax to Leeds, that bigger firms won't take on at a sensible price.

Frequently asked questions: man with a van in Halifax
Can you get to houses with steps and no vehicle access?
Yes, that's most of Halifax. We'll walk the route first, use a trolley for the steps, and park as close as the street allows. Tell us about access when booking so we allow enough time.
Do you cover Hebden Bridge and Todmorden?
Yes. The whole Calder Valley up to Todmorden is inside our standard Halifax coverage.
How quickly can you move a single item within Halifax?
Often the same day. Halifax is twenty minutes from our base, so small jobs can usually be slotted in quickly.
Can you move flats at Dean Clough or along the canal?
Yes. We'll check lift access, loading bays and any paperwork the building needs before the day.
