Renting a Lorry vs Renting a 4\u00d74 Pickup: Which Suits Your Move?<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nby TheLorry<\/strong><\/a> on 4 August 2025.<\/p>\r\nUnderstand Your Moving Needs<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\r\nHow Much Volume & Weight Are You Moving?<\/strong><\/h4>\r\nStart by listing everything you plan to move. Large items (fridge, sofa), non-collapsible furniture (wardrobes, rolling chairs), and numerous small items can quickly add up. This helps decide whether your move requires a larger lorry or a compact pickup.<\/span><\/p>\r\nMeasuring Space: Boxes vs Large Furniture<\/strong><\/h4>\r\nMeasure the largest item\u2019s size (e.g. fridge height, length). If you have many smaller items, estimate how many one\u2011cubic\u2011foot boxes you\u2019ll need. This simple method helps estimate total volume and choose the right vehicle size.<\/span><\/p>\r\nVehicle Options at a Glance<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\r\nLorry Sizes & Load Capacities<\/strong><\/h4>\r\nTheLorry offers clear vehicle options:<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n- \r\n

The addition of this smaller but versatile vehicle makes a great option, depending on your needs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Here is handy guide to help you decide whether a lorry or a 4×4 pickup will suit you better.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Determine how many things you need to move<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThe amount of things you need moving will be your starting point when making this decision. Take a stock check of every item and put them into a list.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
These considerations will help.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n- Do you have any large and heavy items? E.g. fridges, sofas,<\/li>\r\n
- Do you have many non collapsible items? E.g. cupboards, rolling chairs,<\/li>\r\n
- Do you have so many small items that you need to fit many boxes?<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Estimate how much space you need<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nYou\u2019ll then have to conjecture the total space taken up for all your items. Use a measuring tape to determine the length or height of your largest non collapsible object. For example, the height of your fridge. That measurement, if too large, can rule out smaller vehicle options.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
If you have many small items, get a hold of a standard sized box (about one cubic foot). Then use that to estimate how many of those same-sized boxes you need to pack them all. This will help you roughly calculate how much box space your vehicle needs to fit.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Then finally, select the vehicle with the right size. These are the vehicle types available at TheLorry.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
