Moving home in Faversham can feel like a big job, especially when you have bulky furniture or heavy appliances to shift. A Luton van makes the whole process far easier. If you’re planning to hire a Luton van for moving house in Faversham, this guide walks you through everything, from choosing the right van to collecting it from our Strood depot.
At Hire2You, we provide Luton vans for people moving to, from or within Faversham, with simple pricing and no hassle.
Why a Luton Van Works So Well for Faversham House Moves
A Luton van is designed with home movers in mind. The tall, square loading area and electric tail lift make it ideal for full furniture sets and heavier items.
You can see full details on our Luton Van Hire page.
Built for full loads
The interior shape makes it easy to load:
- Mattresses
- Sofas and wardrobes
- Appliances
- Stacks of boxes
Everything fits neatly, making the most of the space.
The tail lift makes lifting safer
The electric tail lift helps you move heavier or awkward items without strain.
According to ROSPA, manual handling causes over 30% of workplace injuries in the UK, so using a tail lift correctly can prevent injuries.
Cheaper than a removal company
Hiring a van is often more cost-effective than paying for a full removal service. You stay in control of the day and work at your own pace.
