Light Haulage for Bulky and Commercial Goods
Furniture, long panels and business equipment need a vehicle chosen around the actual load. Send us the packed measurements, weight and access details, and we will agree the transport and handling required.

Measure the largest item
Include packaging, pallet or crate in each measurement. Tell us whether parts can be separated, whether anything must stay upright and whether the load can be stacked. Most BHA work uses vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes gross vehicle weight; that is not the available payload.
Plan the lifting and access
Explain the collection and delivery handover points, stairs, lifts, doorways and parking restrictions. Confirm what loading help is available. Larger vehicles, tail lifts, additional crew and carrying beyond the agreed handover point must be arranged in advance.
Examples from our delivery records
A longer consignment from Exeter
An EX2-to-EX36 record lists a load 2.95 metres long and weighing 200kg, allocated to a medium-wheelbase vehicle.
Furniture components to Exmouth
A Bristol BS6-to-Exmouth EX8 booking recorded furniture components and a Luton vehicle. For a similar load, list the pieces and their packed measurements when requesting a quote.
Your courier questions answered
Can you collect furniture that is not boxed?
Describe the item, its surfaces and current protection, and send photographs if helpful. We will agree suitable packaging and handling. Protective blankets can be provided; extra packaging may cost more.
Will the driver carry it upstairs?
Carrying beyond the agreed handover point needs advance agreement. Give us the weight, stairs or lift details and any help available so we can assess the crew required.
Can I choose a flexible delivery date?
Yes, ask about economy options if timing is flexible. These normally take 2–4 working days and may be shared. Urgent direct bookings use a dedicated vehicle.
Arrange your delivery
Send both postcodes, the ready time, delivery deadline, item count, packed dimensions and weight. Add the goods value, contacts and access details so we can confirm availability, handling, applicable cover and a tailored price. Check the quoted VAT treatment and any loading, waiting or additional-stop charges before booking.
Our contact hours are 07:30–18:00 UK time, including weekends and bank holidays. Fresh location updates can be emailed every 15 minutes on request, with printable proof of delivery after handover. Payment is required before collection unless credit terms have been agreed. For changes or a delivery problem, contact us promptly with the job reference.
