Can I hire a 7.5-tonne truck in Chatham?

Ask the branch about 7.5-tonne box trucks for your dates. Availability, the exact specification and hire eligibility must be confirmed before booking.

Does 7.5 tonnes mean I can carry a 7.5-tonne load?

No. It refers to the maximum authorised weight of the loaded vehicle. The available payload is lower and depends on the specific truck, occupants and equipment. Confirm the vehicle payload with the team.

Are tail lifts available?

Tail-lift options may be available. Confirm the lift specification and limits for the actual truck, and tell us the weight and dimensions of the items you plan to load.

What licence and documents do I need?

You need the correct entitlement for the vehicle and must meet our current hire and insurance requirements. Business use may involve additional driver and operator requirements. Confirm the proposed use and required documents with the team before booking.

Can I hire a truck for a house move?

A truck may suit a larger move where the load, access and driver eligibility are appropriate. A Luton van could be sufficient for a different load. Compare Luton van hire before deciding.

What information should I give you when enquiring?

Tell us your dates, planned use, load dimensions and weight, loading locations and any tail-lift requirement. Mention access restrictions and confirm driver eligibility before reserving.

Where do I collect in Chatham?

Unit 6A, Dockside Outlet Centre, Maritime Way, Chatham, Kent, ME4 3ED. View branch information and map.

Can I return outside the branch opening hours?

An agreed key-drop return may be available. Confirm the return time, parking location and instructions with the Chatham team before leaving the vehicle.
