Common Reasons for Hiring a Van

If you are planning to move a washing machine in Wolverhampton, hiring a practical van can make the task much easier and stress-free.

Easihire Wolverhampton provide a range of vans that are suitable for moving various items, including washing machines. In this article, we will guide you through the process of hiring a van from Easihire to move a washing machine in Wolverhampton.

Choosing the right van

The first step in hiring a van from Easihire is to choose the right van that is suitable for moving a washing machine. The size and weight of the washing machine will determine the size and type of van you need to hire. Easihire Wolverhampton provide a range of vans that are suitable for moving different items, including small vans, medium vans, large vans, and Luton vans.

For moving a washing machine, we recommend hiring a medium-sized van or a large van. These vans are spacious enough to accommodate the size of the washing machine and provide enough room for other items that you may need to move. A medium-sized van, such as the Ford Transit Custom, can carry up to 1100kg of weight and has a load volume of up to 6 cubic meters. A large van, such as the Mercedes Sprinter, can carry up to 1500kg of weight and has a load volume of up to 14 cubic meters.

Booking the van

Once you have chosen the right van for your needs, the next step is to book the van from Easihire. You can book the van online or by calling their customer service team. Before booking the van, you will need to provide some information, such as your personal details, the date and time of the rental, and the duration of the rental.

Easihire offers flexible rental options, including hourly, daily, and weekly rentals. The rental rates may vary depending on the type and size of the van, the duration of the rental, and any additional services you may require.

Collecting the van

On the day of the rental, you will need to collect the van from the Easihire rental location. Make sure you bring along your driver’s license, proof of insurance, and any other documents that may be required by Easihire. Before you drive away, inspect the van to make sure it is in good condition and report any damage or issues to the Easihire team.

Loading the washing machine

Once you have collected the van, you can start loading the washing machine. It is important to ensure that the washing machine is properly secured and does not move around during transport. Here are some tips for loading the washing machine into the van:

  1. Use a trolley or dolly to move the washing machine

A trolley or dolly can make it much easier to move the washing machine from its current location to the van. Make sure the trolley or dolly is sturdy enough to support the weight of the washing machine.

  • Use a ramp to load the washing machine into the van

If the van is higher than the ground, use a ramp to load the washing machine into the van. Make sure the ramp is secure and can support the weight of the washing machine.

  • Use straps or ropes to secure the washing machine

Once the washing machine is in the van, use straps or ropes to secure it to the van. Make sure the straps or ropes are tight enough to prevent the washing machine from moving during transport.

Driving the van

Before you start driving the van, make sure you are familiar with the vehicle’s controls and features. Adjust the mirrors, seat, and steering wheel to ensure a comfortable driving position. Be aware of the size and weight of the van, especially when turning or parking.
