Specify the load, sites and commercial use

Plan truck hire in Ashford

With your unloading method already settled, a few extra details make matching a truck body and class straightforward.

Tell us how pallets come off

Different sites unload pallets in different ways, so let us know if a forklift, pump truck or manual handling is used at the destination before we suggest a body type.

Check pallet count against deck space

Pallet footprint and stacking height affect which class fits the job, so share how many pallets and their approximate dimensions.

Confirm driver and licence fit

Licence requirements change with truck weight, and stepping up to an 18, 26 or 44 tonne vehicle brings the added need for applicable operator credentials.

Flag more than one drop

Where pallets are going to separate addresses, list each stop with its own handling method so a workable order can be discussed.

Routes and access for truck hire in Ashford

Freight businesses already operating in Ashford

Ashford is home to freight and logistics operators including Mission Express, whose head office is registered at Littleton House, and Spelthorne Direct Services, which runs a business waste operation from its Kingston Road site. Neither business is connected to SDVH, but if your pallet run is calling at a similar trade or freight address, the handling method in place there, loading bay, forklift or manual, is exactly the detail that helps us shortlist a body rather than assume one suits every stop.

Coverage around Ashford

Ashford is a town in Spelthorne, Surrey, and our truck hire coverage extends to nearby Stanwell, Sunbury-on-Thames, Staines-upon-Thames and Laleham. If a pallet round takes in more than one of these towns, note each address and its unloading method when you enquire so a suitable body can be discussed for the whole run rather than a single leg.

Truck hire, insurance and operator questions for Ashford

Truck Hire questions
I already know pallets will come off by forklift, does that change which truck I need?
Yes, tell us that upfront and we can point you toward a curtainside or flatbed rather than a tail-lift body, since your handling method is already sorted.
Do I need to book by pallet count, or can I describe the load in kilograms instead?
Either works, but the more detail you give on pallet count, dimensions and total weight, the easier it is to match a suitable truck class and body for your Ashford job.
Does hiring from SDVH mean using Mission Express or Spelthorne Direct Services in Ashford?
No, those are separate businesses with no connection to SDVH; we simply arrange your truck hire and delivery to the address you specify.
