Truck Hire Gurnos

Choosing a lorry for your Gurnos job

The right chassis depends on what you are moving and where it is going. Curtainsiders suit palletised loads that need side access, while an enclosed box body keeps goods shielded from weather and prying eyes. Where freight will not fit neatly onto a bed, plant, scaffolding, timber, an open flatbed is often the simpler answer. Loose aggregate or demolition waste is best handled by a tipper, and chilled or frozen consignments call for a fridge body. Weight ratings span 7.5 tonne models, which many licence holders can drive, through to 18T and heavier builds for serious loads. Weekly rates are offered alongside shorter terms, so both one-off jobs and longer contracts can be arranged.

Licences and drivers

Before reserving, check that whoever will drive holds the correct entitlement for the gross weight involved. Add any additional named drivers at the booking stage and make sure their details are to hand. Our team can talk through licence categories if you are unsure which rules apply to a particular model.

Mileage, insurance and delivery

Standard insurance is part of every hire, subject to an excess whose amount is confirmed up front. Mileage allowances differ between agreements, so give an honest estimate of the distance you expect to cover. Delivery to and collection from UK addresses may be possible, ask about availability and any fee when you enquire, and flag any plans for European travel at the same time.

Making a solid enquiry

The more detail you provide, the quicker a booking comes together. Include your preferred dates, loading and unloading locations, the approximate load weight or volume, and any site restrictions such as low access or limited turning space. Availability and the exact vehicle are confirmed when the reservation is made, giving you time to plan the job around it.
