Types of House Removal Vehicles
There are several types of house removal vehicles available and the choice of vehicle will depend on the size of the move.

Equipment Required for House Removals
In addition to the house removal vehicle, there is a range of equipment that most removal companies will need to keep in their moving vans. This includes protective work wear such as steel toe capped footwear, securing straps, 2 or 4 wheel furniture dollies, ramps, furniture blankets, crates or bins and also a basic toolkit. If the moving company offers additional services they may require more equipment.
It is also important to consider the impact on traffic when moving house. Some areas have traffic wardens who understand the need for people to move in and out of properties and as long as there is constant activity in loading and unloading they may leave the removal vehicle alone. However it is safest to contact the local transport office and obtain clearance before blocking the road with the removals vehicle.
