Specify the load, sites and commercial use
Plan truck hire in Westgate on Sea
Getting a few numbers straight beforehand avoids an unsuitable vehicle arriving on the day.
Total the consignment first
Add up the weight and volume of everything travelling in one trip, including pallets, crates and packaging, and leave the vehicle's own weight out.
Then the largest dimensions
Note the longest, widest and tallest pieces separately, because sizing around one item does not account for everything else going with it.
Deck height and access
Loading from a raised bay and loading at ground level call for different arrangements, so tell us which applies at each site.
Who handles the load
Say whether staff, a forklift or other handling equipment are available where the goods go on and come off.

Truck Hire questions
How do we unload if there is no forklift at the delivery point?
That points towards discussing a body fitted with a tail lift, though not every body carries one. Tell us the weight and dimensions of the heaviest piece, and what else is travelling with it, so the specification can be considered properly.
Our load is bulky but light. Does that change the class?
Include driver details and the dates needed, each load item, useful weight information, the delivery sequence in the Westgate on Sea request. The team will use the information to compare the examples shown before recording the offered category.
Can the truck be returned to a different address from the one it started at?
One-way hire within mainland Britain can be requested and separately agreed, with any charge quoted before you book. This concerns handover of the hire truck at eligible addresses, not the goods you are carrying.
