When heavy loads need shifting around Cardiff, a self-drive truck from SDVH puts you in control of the schedule. From curtainsiders to tippers, the fleet covers a range of commercial tasks, and our team will help you settle on the right specification before you commit.
Choosing a truck for Cardiff work
Commercial jobs vary enormously, so it pays to think about cargo before booking. Enclosed box trucks shelter goods from Welsh weather, while curtainsiders give forklift access along the side for palletised freight. Flatbeds suit awkward or oversized items, and tippers are built for aggregate and site rubble. Weight ratings span 7.5T up to 18 tonne (18T) models, so check what your licence permits and what your load actually weighs. Every vehicle is serviced regularly and fully covered, whether you need it for a single day or an extended contract.
Match the vehicle to the job
Before you enquire, note the total weight, the number of passengers and any access constraints at your loading points. Passing these details to the hire team allows them to recommend an appropriate category or a similar model, saving you from hiring something too large, too small or simply wrong for the terrain.
Confirm the hire terms
Once you have a vehicle in mind, work through the practicalities. Fix your dates, choose a mileage option that reflects the route ahead, and ask about the standard insurance excess. Decide who will be a named driver, and raise any delivery, one-way or European travel arrangements at this stage rather than at collection. Getting these points agreed early keeps the paperwork straightforward.
Prepare a useful enquiry
A clear enquiry gets a faster, more accurate answer. Set out your preferred collection or delivery times, your expected mileage and the main requirements of the job. Availability and the exact model are confirmed when you book, so having your details to hand makes that conversation quick and painless.
