Supplies for Moving Truck Rental

Find everything you need to enhance the use of a moving truck

Your company can save a significant amount of money by using moving truck rentals instead of hiring professional moving services. But in order to make the move as easy as possible, and protect all of the items that are being moved, you should be sure that you have the essential supplies before you start.

Most moving truck rental companies give quotes that only include the price of the truck. You will have to pay extra for supplies for moving truck rental, but they can make your move a lot easier. Supplies you will probably need include:

1. Moving and lifting aids;

2. Furniture pads;

3. And boxes.

Rent or purchase moving and lifting aids for rental moving trucks

Moving and lifting aids such as hand trucks, straps, gloves and furniture slides can make a huge difference when you are using a moving truck. They save time and help prevent injuries to the people who are doing the moving. These supplies are essential for any moving van rental.

Purchase furniture pads for moving truck rentals

Furniture pads are a great way to keep large or valuable items from getting scratched, dented or damaged during the move. Moving trucks often have inside bars or rails that you can use to secure the furniture and the pad so that it will not shift or fall during transport. Sometimes you are able to rent furniture pads when you rent a moving truck, but most likely, you will have to buy them.

Buy boxes to use in moving trucks

The right boxes will go a long way toward making your move easy and problem free. Whether you have a round-trip or on-way moving truck rental, you will want to have boxes that will stack nicely in the back of the moving truck and protect all of your company's items without crushing them.

• When purchasing supplies from moving truck rental companies, ask about a AAA discount. Many companies will give you 10% off your purchase.
