Are you considering a DIY move, but not sure how to pack and load a self-driven lorry? The first thing to consider is getting the perfect sized lorry for your move. At T G Commercials Self Drive, we have 18 tonne lorries that provide ample space for a successful house or office move. The trick to a hassle-free DIY move is to make sure that you have evenly distributed the weight inside the lorry. Our team of professionals have some tips to make packing and loading your things on our lorries easier. Take a look.

• Disassemble your furniture: If you do not disassemble your furniture, it might take up a lot of space on the lorry. By taking apart your furniture, you will be saving room and maximising the lorry’s space. Also, this will help in distributing the weight of the heavy furniture evenly.

• Load heaviest and largest items first: When it is time to load up the lorry and get moving, you must start with the heaviest and largest items first. This might include bed frames, mattresses, chairs, tables, couches, refrigerators and so on. These items should be on the bottom of the lorry so that they do not damage other boxes.

• Load lightest items last: Once you have packed the heavy items, it is time to move the lightest items inside the lorry. This might include appliances, moving boxes and smaller furniture items. Do not forget to label the boxes clearly so that when it is time to unload, you know exactly what the boxes contain.

So, packing and loading lorry is not that difficult. Choose us for your 18 tonne lorry rental in Chesterfield and look forward to a successful, stress-free DIY move. Our lorries are well-maintained.
