Flatbed van hire for fencing and decking makes summer garden projects far easier. Long timber and fence panels do not suit an ordinary panel van. So, anyone planning van hire in Warrington for a garden job soon looks for an open load bed. It carries awkward materials that will not slide through rear doors.
Why an Open Bed Changes the Job
Fencing and decking materials are long, heavy and often banded in bundles. With an open deck, a merchant’s forklift can place a pack straight onto the bed. Then you strap it down and go. Also, unloading is quicker, because two people can lift boards off from either side.
The Van Built for Long Timber
Our flatbed dropside van has sides that fold down for clear access. As a result, loading fence posts, decking boards and bagged aggregate is simple. The sides keep loose materials in while you drive, then fold flat again at the job.
Keeping Within the Weight Limit
Timber, gravel boards and postcrete add up quickly. Our guide to gross vehicle weight explained shows how the limit works. So, split a very large order into two trips rather than overloading.
Strapping an Open Load
An open load needs proper securing. First, place heavy packs low on the bed. Next, tie long boards at more than one point. Then check the straps after the first few miles. The official GOV.UK load securing guidance explains the principles.
Close to the Merchants
Customers near Burtonwood van hire areas are handily placed for a materials run. In addition, a short hop from merchant to garden keeps an open load on the road for the least time.
