Hello World and Perth, Welcome to Furniture Taxi’s first blog post
Who we are and what we do.
We are previously known as Hire Big Van + Driver on google we have been providing vans for hire and moving furniture for about 6 years on the side in Perth’s northern suburbs formerly located in Balcatta.
On 7 September 2016 we started out using a Mercedes sprinter cargo van with about 10m2 in cargo capacity and 2.0-ton max payload.
Trucks are too big and bulky these commercial vans can do the exact same job with only 5 cubic meters less space than a 4.5-ton truck , using these vans was perfect for moving all essential items in one go.
2022 we decided to purchase a 2nd van VW Crafter 16 meters cubed of cargo capacity with almost double the size of the Mercedes sprinter it was the perfect vehicle to open up a business, we just recently started trading as Furniture Taxi and recently relocated to Greenwood. Benifts of a van
Benefits of a van
Vans are lower they don’t need a tail lift
Much faster to load and unload with a ramp
Smaller carbon footprint
Cheaper to run means cheaper prices for you
They are perfect for city jobs as they can go more places than a big truck
Recently we decided to put a tow bar step on the back for easier access
