Removals Truck / Van Loading & Unloading Tips

Loading and Unloading a Removals truck or Van, requires some thought and planning. A improperly and not thoughtfully done load can cause damage and unnecessary head ache when unloading. The technique is simple and effective, and our removalists have put together some important points for an effective loading and Unloading process.

• Start with big flat things like bed-heads, Mattress, Folding furniture, Dining table top. Load them and position them to the side of the truck and restrain them with straps securely. Use Blankets or protection sheets to protect the polished surfaces against scratches.
• Big Mirrors and glasses are best placed between mattresses to protect them against scratches and potential shock damage.
• Use a trolley to move boxes for loading, it can save you multiple rounds and an unneeded fatigue to your body.
• Mark the boxes as per stuff location inside them, so you can easily move them to the appropriate rooms when unloading.
• Load heavy boxes in the middle part of the truck floor and spread heavy things in way to make a flat platform for more stuff needed to be stacked.
• Light boxes are best loaded when heavy item load is finishes. Place these boxes over the top of heavy boxes.
• Load Fridge and Washing machines at the last.
