Measure the load and check both addresses
A handful of details about the collection narrows the choice to a van suited to the actual job.
Add up the weight of all materials travelling together, including boxes and tools. Give us the dimensions of the largest pieces so we can compare the offered van's payload, load space and door openings.
Measure the longest timber, board or length of guttering before choosing a body. Compare those measurements with the offered van's usable load area and loading openings.
Collecting from more than one merchant means thinking about which items need to come off first once the site is reached.
Include anyone travelling to help unload in the passenger count. A crew van may offer more seats, but the seating layout can reduce the space available for materials.
