Vehicle fleet for a moving company

Moving is one of the most important moments in a person's life. If you plan to start a moving company and thus help people start their next stage of life, you cannot do without a van or a truck.

Of course, it depends on whether the customer needs to move a bed, sofa and one table from the studio, or heavy objects such as a piano or a safe. While in the first case you can get by with a larger van, in the second case you cannot do without proper equipment and technology. This means that it is better to have several types of vehicles in the fleet.

The moving company is there to get the customer's equipment and furniture to their new home without dents, scratches or any other damage. In the following lines, we will introduce you to the vehicles that are used when moving. Mostly you will need a van or truck up to 7,5t. Such truck over 7,5 t you would rather use it when moving companies or moving abroad.

Pickup

A car with a utility body type pick-up is ideal for moving smaller items, whether it is compact furniture or just cardboard boxes with personal items. In case some items are heavy, at least two able-bodied people are needed to load them, as loading is not as practical as with vans. The door to the storage space is usually either in the back or on the side.

Delivery

Vans generally have more hanging space than pick-ups, but are limited by height. There are quite a few different types, the first being box variants with three seats and enough cargo space in which you can also move upright, which is not possible with a pick-up truck. Another solution is tarpaulin vans for bulkier and less formal things. The tarpaulin van has a reinforced structure with a tarpaulin. You can move a small and medium-sized apartment with such vans, but taller furniture will need to be disassembled for transport.

Truck up to 7,5 t

It is more suitable for moving a family home truck up to 7,5 t with a hydraulic front, because it has a larger cargo space, where even unfolded furniture can fit. The cabinet structure should be padded and suitable for transporting furniture. As with vans, these trucks tend to have either a box or a canvas variant.

For all the above-mentioned vehicles, you cannot do without a clamping device, a handling cart, tools, and also bubble wrap or fixing foil.
