Business relocation brings very different challenges from a house move. Office furniture, IT equipment, filing and trade stock all need different handling. The timing is often set by lease end dates, staff availability and the need to keep disruption low. Our depot on Tilley Street at Cockhedge Shopping Centre runs a fleet of over 70 vans for short and long term hire. Most vehicles need no deposit. For van hire in Warrington to support your move, call 01925 396 222 before you fix the date.
Matching the Van to a Business Relocation
The right van depends on what you are moving and the access at both premises. Office loads differ from domestic ones. Desks, pedestals, monitor arms, server racks and shelving are often awkward and heavy. So, they need careful positioning to avoid damage.
A long wheelbase high roof van is the usual choice for small and medium office moves. The high roof lets tall filing cabinets and shelving stand upright, which is safer and easier to stack. For larger moves, the extra long wheelbase van offers 4.3 metres of load length. As a result, you make fewer trips and spend less time between premises.
When a Tail Lift or Flatbed Makes More Sense
Some loads do not suit a standard panel van. Industrial printers, server hardware, heavy workbenches and machinery are risky to lift by hand. In those cases, the Luton van with tail lift takes the weight mechanically. That matters when you have a small team.
For trade businesses moving racking, pallets, workshop kit or materials, the flatbed dropside van loads from three sides. Consequently, awkward items no longer need threading through rear doors.
Access Around Warrington
Where you are moving to and from affects which van is practical. Business premises cluster in the town centre, at Birchwood and Cinnamon Park, and along the A57 toward Irlam van hire routes. There are also commercial areas around Burtonwood van hire and the M62.
Loading bays, height barriers and narrow service roads all limit which van you can use. If either site has a height barrier, check the clearance before booking a Luton. The box body sits much higher than a panel van roof. Our team can talk these questions through before you commit.
Planning the Business Relocation Around Our Hours
We open at 8am Monday to Saturday. That suits business customers who want the van on site before staff arrive. For moves that take several days, such as phased moves or offices that must stay open, longer hire spreads the work sensibly.
Bring your driving licence and DVLA check code on collection day, since we check them before releasing the vehicle. Meanwhile, our secure on-site parking keeps your own car safe during the move. Remember to update your company records too. If your registered office changes, notify Companies House on GOV.UK.
