As it is larger in size, you can load more or larger goods and furniture onto the vehicle, saving you from having to make multiple trips.

Points To Take Note

  • Weight Of Your Items

    It is crucial to take note of the weight of the goods and furniture you are planning to move.

    If they are too heavy, they cannot be loaded onto the vehicle as they may damage the suspension of the lorries.

  • Height Of Your Items

    Each lorry has a maximum height.

    Thus, when moving tall furniture such as cabinets or wardrobes, it is important that you take into consideration the height of your furniture and whether you will need a larger sized lorry to move these items.

    Alternatively, you can consider dismantling the furniture (if possible) as this may help to save space.

  • Height Clearance

    Certain loading areas have a height limit and larger vehicles may not be able to enter the area. 

    It will help if you can take into account the height restrictions for your pick up and drop off point so that we can arrange for the appropriate lorry to move your items.
