We have a range of van for all different types of needs and requirements

The best type of van for moving home will depend on several factors, such as the number of items you need to move, the distance of the move, and your budget. However, some common van sizes used for moving home are:

Small van: A small van, such as a Peugeot partner, may be suitable for moving smaller items or a few pieces of furniture. These vans are typically more fuel-efficient and easier to drive in tight spaces.
Medium van: A medium van, such as a Ford Transit Custom, can accommodate larger items, such as sofas and appliances. They offer more space than a small van but are still relatively easy to drive.
Large van: A large van, such as a Luton van, is suitable for larger moves or for moving multiple pieces of furniture. These vans offer the most space and are ideal for long-distance moves.

It’s important to consider the size of the items you need to move and the distance you will be traveling to determine the most suitable van size for your needs. Additionally, make sure to check the van’s load capacity to ensure that it can accommodate your items safely.

When it comes to moving home, EasiHire in Blackburn suggests that a Luton van with a tail lift is the best option, and there are several reasons why this type of van is ideal for moving home.

Firstly, a Luton van has a box-shaped body that provides more interior space compared to other types of vans. This means that a Luton van can accommodate larger items, such as furniture and appliances, and can also hold more items in general. Additionally, the box shape of the van means that items can be stacked and packed more efficiently, which can help to reduce the number of trips required to move all your belongings.

Secondly, a tail lift on a Luton van makes loading and unloading heavy items much easier and safer. The tail lift allows you to load heavy items onto the van at ground level, which means that you don’t have to lift heavy items onto the van floor, reducing the risk of injury or damage to the item. The tail lift can also be used to lower heavy items back down to the ground, again reducing the risk of injury or damage.

Finally, a Luton van with a tail lift is generally more fuel-efficient compared to larger trucks or removal vans. This can help to reduce the cost of fuel and make the move more cost-effective overall.

In summary, a Luton van with a tail lift is an ideal option for moving home as it offers a large, box-shaped body with ample space for all your belongings, and a tail lift for safe and easy loading and unloading of heavy items.

Using a tail lift on a Luton van can be an effective way to move heavy items, such as furniture, safely and efficiently. Here are some steps to follow when using a tail lift correctly:

Ensure that the tail lift is in good working condition and is securely attached to the van.
Ensure that the area around the tail lift is clear of any obstructions or hazards.
Position the van close to the loading area, ensuring that the van is parked on level ground.
Lower the tail lift to the ground using the control panel or lever located on the side of the van.
Check that the tail lift is level and stable before loading any items.
Load items onto the tail lift one at a time, making sure that the weight is evenly distributed.
Once the items are loaded onto the tail lift, use the control panel or lever to raise the tail lift back up to the level of the van floor.
Once the tail lift is level with the van floor, carefully move the items onto the van.
After unloading the items, lower the tail lift back down to the ground, making sure that the area around the tail lift is clear before doing so.
Finally, secure the tail lift back into its stored position.

It’s important to follow these steps carefully and to take your time when using a tail lift to avoid any accidents or damage to the items being moved.

When you collect your van from EasiHire in Blackburn, you will need to bring several things with you. Here is a list of the items you should bring:

A valid driving license: You must have a full UK driving license to rent a vehicle. Make sure that your license is up to date and that you have no outstanding penalties or fines.
Proof of address: EasiHire will require you to provide proof of your current address. This can be in the form of a recent utility bill, bank statement, or council tax statement.
Payment: You will need to pay for the rental of the van at the time of collection. Make sure that you have enough funds in your account to cover the rental fee and any deposit that may be required.

Insurance documents: If you have your own insurance policy, bring the insurance documents with you. Otherwise, EasiHire will provide insurance for the vehicle, but you will need to pay an additional fee for this.

Any necessary documentation: If you are moving items that require permits, such as hazardous materials, you will need to bring the necessary documentation with you.

It’s always a good idea to double-check with EasiHire before you collect your van to ensure that you have everything you need.
