Packaged goods and journey
01 Journey & orientation
Can the goods be turned?

Items stay upright unless you choose otherwise. Pallets and fragile goods should not be tipped without a suitable agreed handling plan.

02 Your packed size

All dimensions are in centimetres. The height includes the pallet, if used.

Pallet size shortcuts

Fills length and width only. Adjust for any overhang, then enter the full packed height and weight.

04 How will it be loaded?

Choose the arrangements at both addresses. Loading needs are checked separately from vehicle size.

Tell us what is available at each address. The driver’s presence does not confirm a safe lifting method.

Stairs, extra help or unusual access

Tail lifts and pallet trucks need suitable level, firm ground and space to work. Tell us about gravel, slopes, kerbs, narrow access or indoor positioning. A vehicle payload is not a tail-lift capacity.

No contact details needed. Nothing is sent or booked.

Measure after packaging.

Use the full length, width and height of each item once it is ready to travel. Add together the weights of all items and include pallets, crates and packaging. Mention anything that protrudes or cannot be stacked.

Help is something to arrange.

A larger vehicle does not automatically include a tail lift, a pallet truck or a second person. Tell us what equipment and assistance will be available at each address, and what you need us to arrange.

How to measure your delivery

See the collection checklist

Useful before you book

A few details, made clear.

View all questions & answers
Does the Vehicle Finder guarantee that my load fits?

No. It compares your entered goods with category guide dimensions and payload. For identical items it checks a simple arrangement without stacking; mixed loads need individual planning. The actual vehicle’s usable space, door openings, wheel arches, load restraint, access and equipment still need to be confirmed. A suggested category does not reserve a vehicle.

How should I measure and weigh my goods?

Measure each complete item after packaging: length, width and height, including any crate, pallet or overhang. Give the gross weight and the number of pieces. Tell us if an item must remain upright, cannot be stacked or has a fragile surface. For the Vehicle Finder, weight is per item and quantity is the number of identical packed items.

Can I use one average size for a mixed load?

Please provide an item list instead. An average can hide a long, heavy or awkward piece, and total volume does not prove that different shapes fit together. Give each type of item its own packaged dimensions, weight and quantity. Include stacking restrictions and identify which pieces move between which stops on a multi-stop journey.

Does choosing a Luton include a tail lift or pallet truck?

Do not assume that a category name confirms equipment availability or suitability for your load. State the equipment needed at each address. The actual lift platform, safe working load, combined weight being lifted and ground conditions need checking separately from the vehicle payload. Include the weight of any handling equipment that must travel on the lift.
