Loading for the UK

in Facebook Posts, General

I hope you like this behind the scenes time lapse video I took of the process of loading a van for my UK trip this month.

 

The video shows how a lot of care is taken over loading, to make sure the vehicle is loaded as tight as possible, with everything heavy and robust lower down, and very fragile items placed on top.

Taking time over packing helps to keep everything protected from moving and being damaged by rubbing, and also enables full use of the space available, which is important on such long trips.

I didn’t have to load the trailer as well for this trip, as I’m delivering a brand new Horse Box to Devon instead, which was manufactured right here in Almeria.

“If you are looking for a “professional” company to move your belongings then Indalo Transport is the one for you. An important thing for me is communication and that is what they do, no query goes unanswered, promptly and in a friendly helpful way. The removal was from Spain to South Wales and delivery was made on the date and time specified and that is very important to Indalo as it was to me. So . . . look no further contact Indalo Transport and deal with a professional,friendly and efficient team. As you can tell I am a very satisfied customer”

Everything was covered, roped down to ship, on arrival at the destination, as our possesions were unloaded the packing blankets and tie ropes were neatly folded and packed away – the sign of a true professional, and a very pleasant bloke to deal with THANK YOU VERY MUCH”

“I would recommend Mick and Indalo Transport to anyone. Mick was courteous, prompt and efficient. All we had to do was show him what was to be transported and he did the rest: provided boxes, carefully packed everything into the boxes and loaded them onto his van to be delivered on time, as arranged, several days later to us in the UK.”
