Specify the load, sites and commercial use
Plan truck hire in Dartford
A few early decisions will shape which truck group fits the whole job.
Body and weight class
For a Dartford truck request, describe the complete load, the handling method and what is available for unloading at the destination. Use that information when comparing the provisional truck group.
Item dimensions
Measure each boxed line, then add up the total volume and combined weight so nothing is sized against a single pallet or stack.
The awkward item
Identify the one long, tall or heavy piece before comparing groups, because it often rules out more options than the ordinary boxes.
Number of drops
List how many delivery stops the run involves, since the order you load items affects how easily they come off at each stop.

Truck Hire questions
What should I do if a fault develops during the hire?
Report it straight away to the hire provider using the contact details in your rental documents. Repairs and servicing are handled through the provider, so never take the vehicle to a third-party garage yourself.
Does the unloading method affect my choice?
Yes. Describe how the stock will be removed at each stop, whether by tail lift, pallet truck or by hand, and the booking team will check which body types can be offered with that method in mind.
Should I explain how the truck will be loaded?
Please do. Tell us the loading order across the drops, the heaviest items and any stacking limits, so the comparison covers how the load sits rather than only whether it fits.
