Container Truck AnimationThanks to our purpose built "container truck", furniture and household goods that need to be stored in the warehouse, can be loaded directly into standard wooden storage containers at the client's home (depending on the access conditions at pickup). Handling is kept to an absolute minimum, considerably reducing therefore the risk of accidental damage to clients' possessions. On the moving day, our truck will arrive loaded with empty storage containers. Once everything has been packed, labelled and listed in your property, our crew will be able to load your furniture and personal effects directly into the containers via the side and rear doors of the truck, where it will remain untouched. When the time comes to deliver the goods to your new residence, we simply fork-lift the containers back onto the truck at the warehouse, journey to your address, take off the container doors and start unloading. It's that simple!

   
 
 

Loading at residenceIt's like bringing the warehouse to your front door. With this system, the client can witness firsthand how the goods are loaded into clean, dry & secure containers and check no space has been wasted. All items stowed away into the containers will have been listed and labelled by the foreman prior to loading. The container design also enables the placement of a seal on the door clip if required.
 

 

Frequently asked questions:
  

  1. Why don't more local companies offer this service?
There are two main reasons why "container trucks" aren't as popular here as they are in the UK:
  • Poor  access.
    Because of the dimensions of the truck, especially the height, there are many instances where it just cannot get close enough to the address to allow normal loading/unloading. Low arches, narrow lanes, tight bends, weight restrictions, unsafe dirt tracks or overhanging trees (all quite common in Andalucia), often mean that the truck has to be parked at a considerable distance away from the property and depending on the walk, this isn't always a viable option. In other cases, the lack of parking space is the major concern, especially in the town centres where parking permits are often required to complete the move.

  •  
  • Storage as a proportion of overall business.
    A company has to be heavily committed to storage to warrant investing in these types of trucks. With over 320 storage containers in our warehouse, Britannia Southern is one of the biggest storage companies on the coast and depends heavily on implementing the "container truck" system locally. Amongst smaller companies there is a tendency of not utilizising the containers to their full potential, that is, the containers never leave the warehouse as such. The benefits of reduced handling and customers' peace of mind are lost in these cases.
