Consider both the weight and the space your goods need. The vehicle name alone does not confirm whether a particular load will fit. Send the dimensions of your largest items, the total load weight and the number of pallets or packages before booking.
Some of our 8-ton trucks have tail lifts. If you need one, request a tail-lift vehicle when enquiring so we can confirm availability and suitability for your load. A tail lift is not fitted to every 8-ton truck.
Tell us how the goods will be loaded and unloaded at each stop. If you need a tail lift, forklift assistance or crane loading, mention it in your enquiry so the team can confirm suitable arrangements. Include access restrictions and any limited space at the collection or delivery address.
The rate table on this page lists the vehicle charges. You can also review our truck hire rates page. Request a job-specific quote with your route, dates and loading requirements to confirm the applicable costs.

Answers to help you plan
Send enquiries for goods requiring an enclosed body, with the item dimensions and total weight. Suitability depends on the actual load, body space and loading method. An 8 ton listing is not confirmation that every item of that weight can be accommodated.
Give us each pallet's footprint, loaded height and weight, the total quantity and whether stacking is allowed. Also confirm loading equipment at both sites. Those details are needed to assess fit and handling rather than relying on a standard pallet count.
Yes, state the tail-lift requirement when enquiring. Its availability and suitability must be confirmed for the quoted vehicle and load. Supply item weight and dimensions, and explain how the goods will be moved to and from the lift.
Include the drop sequence, quantities per stop, addresses and receiving windows. Loading order matters where different goods must be accessible at each destination. The team can assess the vehicle and time required for the complete route.
Tell us what needs moving, where it needs to go and what access is like. We can help you work out the next step.
