Plan your hire · Rochdale

Choose a van for what you need to carry

Start with the load and the places you need to reach, then compare the van classes available from our Rochdale branch. A model photograph is an example, not a guarantee of a specific registration or body variant.

Measure before choosing

Measure the longest, widest and tallest items, including packaging. Check whether furniture can be dismantled and whether it must travel upright.

Ask the branch to confirm usable load length, width, height and door openings for the vehicle being assigned. Model names alone do not establish these measurements.

Match the class to the job

Small vans can suit boxes, tools and compact deliveries. Medium vans offer more room for larger equipment or several items.

Large and extra-large vans are worth comparing for bulky furniture or larger loads. Luton and tail-lift options may help with bulky loading, subject to the assigned vehicle and equipment availability.

Check weight as well as space

An item fitting inside does not mean the vehicle can safely carry its weight. Include passengers, equipment and the whole load when discussing payload with the team.

For a tail-lift, confirm the lift's capacity and whether your load can be handled safely. Secure items appropriately before travelling.

Check the route and loading space

Measure access height and width at car parks, storage units and loading areas. Allow room to open doors and manoeuvre.

Tell the branch about ramps, restricted entrances, passenger needs or equipment requirements before reserving.

Plan collection and return

Compare current class options and your full quote. Van reservations are by class; the branch assigns a suitable physical vehicle before collection.

Saturday pickups and returns must be at or before 2pm UK time. The branch is closed on Sundays. Read the collection checklist before you travel.
