subject: Man And Van Services [print this page] National removal companies are typically organized with local branches or affiliated agents. There are also many small independent moving companies who operate within any given local area.
Removal vans will often have a Luton body, internal wooden wall bars to which tall or heavy furniture can be secured with webbing, and a ramp or tail lift to assist in loading. Space on vans is at a premium, so an experienced loader will pack into voids in furniture and use awkward shaped items such as ironing boards to fill narrow gaps.
Moving furniture in and out of houses, especially older properties, presents challenges; in areas where there are many older properties, furniture movers may be adept at removing and reinstalling sash window panes. Most double bed bases can be split, folded or dismantled.
Pianos are a particular problem, removals contractors will usually have specialist piano trolleys and there is a device colloquially known as a shoe which is strapped to the side of a grand piano to allow it to be rested on edge on the trolley without damaging the polish or applying excessive force to the sides of the instrument.
Whether you're looking to move house, get large goods collected from a store/shop, packing your son/daughter off to University or just looking to clear some unwanted items away. A Man and Van service provides one of cheapest and most flexible methods to achieve your goals.
