Specify the load, sites and commercial use
Plan truck hire in Gillingham
Four pieces of information separate a smooth truck booking from an awkward one.
Measure the biggest items
Measure each large item's length, width and height so the body can be compared against the full consignment, not just the piece that worries you most.
Estimate the whole load
Record a realistic estimate covering every pallet, sack and crate combined, since a body that swallows the bulkiest item may still be defeated by the cumulative weight.
Describe the complete requirement
Describe how the freight will be lifted on and taken off, whether by forklift, tail lift, crane or hand, because the unloading arrangement shapes which body makes sense.
Inventory everything
List the complete consignment, including awkward or low-value items, so nothing gets left behind when the vehicle is being selected.

Truck Hire questions
Can I extend my hire once it has started?
Yes, in many cases. Contact the hire team as early as possible, since an extension depends on the vehicle not being reserved elsewhere. Until a new period is arranged, the original agreed dates still stand.
Can I take the truck abroad?
European use is possible but needs prior approval before travel, so raise it at the enquiry stage rather than assuming it is included.
Why do you ask how the freight comes off the vehicle?
Describe the unloading arrangement, whether that involves a forklift at a warehouse, a tail lift at kerbside or manual handling, and the booking team can compare it against bodies offered for your dates. This concerns the goods, not the handover of the truck itself.
