    Moving house can be a daunting task, and choosing the right size removal van is crucial to ensure a smooth and stress-free experience. At Hippo Trucks, we offer a range of Maxi Mover trucks to cater to different moving needs. To help you determine the optimal number of trucks for your move, we’ve put together this handy size guide.

     

    Understanding Your Moving Needs

     

    The number of Maxi Mover trucks you’ll need depends on several factors, including:

    • The size of your property: The number of bedrooms is a good starting point to estimate the volume of belongings.
    • The amount of furniture and belongings: Consider the size and quantity of your furniture, appliances, and personal items.
    • The distance of the move: Longer distances may require additional packing and transportation time.

     

    Typical Van Size Requirements

     

    Here’s a general guideline to help you estimate the number of Maxi Mover trucks you might need:

    • 1 or 2 Bedroom House: Typically requires 1 to 2 Maxi Mover trucks.
    • 3 Bedroom Property: Usually requires 2 to 3 Maxi Mover trucks.
    • 4 Bedroom Property: Often requires 4 to 5 Maxi Mover trucks.

     

    Factors to Consider

     

    While these are general estimates, it’s important to consider other factors that may influence the number of trucks needed:

    • Fragile Items: If you have a significant number of fragile items, you may need extra packing materials and careful handling, which can impact the overall volume.
    • Special Items: Large or heavy items, such as pianos or safes, may require specialized handling and transportation, potentially increasing the number of trucks needed.

     

    How to Choose the Right Van Size

     

    To ensure you choose the right size van, consider the following tips:

    • Accurate Inventory: Create a detailed inventory of your belongings to get a better understanding of the volume.
    • Professional Advice: Consult with a removal company to get expert advice based on your specific needs.
    • Flexible Options: Choose a removal company that offers flexible van size options to accommodate any changes in your moving plans.
