Greener transport and deliveries in Essex

What size van do I need?

Posted on April 24th, 2009 1 Comment

Quite often we get calls from customers asking us “can we have a transit to deliver some boxes?” my immediate question back to them is “what size van do you need?” Often a Transit is the only type of van they know of. Frequently customers will ask for a van that is not suited to their needs its either to big or to small and each scenario brings with it its own sets of problems.

Arrow Light Haulage make a point of finding out weights, sizes and quantity of any shipment that needs moving so we can then accommodate the customers needs efficiently and also so that we don’t waste any space within the vehicle when it is not necessary.

Our expertise in load/vehicle matching will ensure that our customers will have the right size vehicle turn up at their premises and be able to cater for their goods without wasting space or using a van that is far to large for their needs. If you need to move 1 archive box you don’t need to order a Luton sized van that can carry 100’s of archive boxes.

Using Arrow Light Haulage and our knowledge will not only ensure the right vehicle is sent out to you but also that you are charged accordingly for the items that you need to be moved. This normally saves you money.

If you would like any further information on our load/vehicle matching techniques you can either call us on 0844 884 3331 or email me directly at kevin@arrowlighthaulage.co.uk with your requirements and I will deal with your query promptly
