Moving heavy or bulky loads around Coity Higher becomes far simpler with the right lorry booked in advance. SDVH supplies self-drive trucks suited to trade, agricultural and domestic haulage work across the area.
Choosing the right truck for the load
Every job puts different demands on a vehicle, so it pays to think about what you will actually be carrying. Box trucks keep furniture, stock and equipment dry and locked away, while curtainsiders make side loading with forklifts or pallet trucks straightforward. Tippers cope well with soil, rubble and other loose materials, and refrigerated models hold chilled or frozen goods at the correct temperature during transit. Our fleet starts at 7.5 tonne (7.5T) configurations and extends to 18T and above, giving you scope for everything from a single delivery run to a full site clearance. If you are unsure which category fits, describe the cargo and we will point you towards a sensible match.
Booking and arranging collection
Reserving a truck can be done for anything from a single day to several weeks, and weekly rates often suit longer projects better. Once dates are agreed, collection details are confirmed so the handover slots neatly around your working day. Every vehicle arrives fully insured and checked over before it leaves us, so you can load up and set off with confidence.
Driving a larger vehicle safely
A truck handles very differently from a car, particularly when empty or lightly loaded. Take corners gently, allow extra stopping distance and remember that height and length restrictions on narrower Welsh lanes can catch out the unwary. Plan reversing spots before you arrive at a delivery point, and use a banksman where practical. Drivers must hold the correct licence category for the vehicle chosen, so check this before confirming your booking.
What to have ready before you book
A few details speed everything up. Note the pickup and return dates, an estimate of expected mileage, the number and names of drivers, and anything unusual about the load, such as awkward dimensions or weight. If you need the vehicle dropped at an address, or intend to travel into Europe, mention this early so the terms can be arranged properly rather than patched together later.
