An office move is mostly desks, chairs, monitors, filing and flat-pack furniture that comes apart and goes back together. The biggest decision is which van does the job. For a move of any size, it comes down to two vehicles that tackle the problem differently. Choosing well from our van hire in Warrington fleet means fewer trips and less double handling.
The Case for the XLWB Panel Van
The extra long wheelbase van has the longest enclosed floor in the fleet. So, long desks, partition panels and flat-pack carcasses lie flat. In addition, IT equipment and documents stay dry and out of sight while the van is parked.
The Case for the Luton
A Luton has a taller, boxed load space. With a tail lift, heavy items go straight up rather than over a sill. So, for filing cabinets, a server or a photocopier, the Luton van with tail lift earns its keep.
How to Choose for Your Office Move
Here is a simple rule. If the move is mostly long, flat items and you have enough hands, the XLWB is usually easier to park. However, if heavy units need lifting by one or two people, the tail lift changes the job, and the Luton wins.
Planning the Move
Office moves often happen at weekends. Therefore, collecting at 8am on Saturday gives you the full weekend. Our central depot also keeps you close to the business parks. Firms moving toward Leigh van hire areas cut dead miles too.
Protecting IT and Documents
Keep screens upright and padded rather than flat. Likewise, cushion hard drives and servers so they cannot take a knock. Then label boxes by destination room, so the right items land in the right place. For confidential records, the official GOV.UK data protection page explains your duties.
