Vehicle decision
Luton vs Transit decision points
For Gravesend, a luton-style box van is considered when cubic space and furniture loading matter more than compact manoeuvrability. It may suit bulky furniture, appliances, office moves or multi-box loads, but it can be less convenient in tight streets or height-restricted areas.
For Gravesend, a tail-lift can help with heavy items, but it is not automatically the best answer for every move. Weight, surface, access and the exact vehicle details must be checked.

Practical checks for Gravesend
Will the move fit?
For Gravesend, start with sofas, beds, wardrobes, white goods and the largest boxes. A Luton-style body can help with volume, but the exact box, payload and access still need confirmation.

A tail lift can help at Gravesend only when item weight, ground surface, space behind the vehicle and the exact equipment are suitable. It is not a substitute for safe handling.
Height and route
Plan South routes around low bridges, car-park barriers, trees, loading canopies and tight entrances. Check the actual vehicle height before relying on a route.
Loading order
For a Gravesend move, discuss heavy items low and stable, fragile goods protected, access at both addresses and whether parking permits or loading windows are needed.
