Moving Equipment Hire

Should you buy or hire moving equipment?

When planning a move, one of the big decisions is whether to purchase or hire moving equipment. Redspot offers both options to suit your needs, but which one is right for you? Let’s break down the pros and cons to help you cruise through your move. 

Benefits of Hiring Moving Equipment with Redspot

• Cost-effective: If you’re only moving once or twice in a blue moon, hiring equipment like moving trolleys and ratchet straps saves you money compared to buying.
• No long-term storage: Once your move is done, you can return the equipment – there is no need to find space to store it.
• Flexibility: Redspot offers a range of moving accessories for hire, so you only pay for what you need.

Buying Moving Equipment with Redspot

• Long-term use: If you plan multiple moves or use equipment regularly, buying might be more cost-effective in the long run.
• Always on hand: Owning your equipment means it’s ready whenever you need it – no need to schedule a pick-up or drop-off.
• Customisation: When buying, you can invest in specific items tailored to your moving needs.

Red-hot tips to get the most from your moving equipment 

• Use a moving trolley: A moving trolley hire is perfect for transporting heavy or bulky items like furniture and appliances. Always balance your load evenly on the trolley to avoid tipping, and secure it with straps or ropes for added safety.
• Protect with moving blankets: Use moving blankets to ensure the safety of your valuables. These thick, padded blankets protect furniture, mirrors and fragile items from scratches and dents during transport. Wrap items fully and secure them with tape or ropes.
• Stack smartly: When using boxes or larger items, always place heavier objects at the bottom of your trolley or ute and lighter items on top. This helps maintain balance and prevents anything from being crushed.
• Secure your load: Ropes are needed to keep your cargo in place during transit. Use ropes to tie down boxes, furniture and other large items, avoiding movement and damage while driving.
• Plan for tight spaces: Measure doorways, hallways and the moving vehicle to ensure your equipment and items fit easily. This will save you time and avoid frustration on moving day.

Follow these tips to ensure your moving equipment hire works out efficiently, keeping your move stress-free.
