How Hiring a UTE helps to make it easy to move of your expensive electronic items?

Homes today are full of sensitive electronic equipment requiring special extra car when transported, from computers, flat screen TV’s monitors to smart refrigerators and CCTV and home theater systems. One of the safest ways of moving is to hire a ute from Ute Hire on the Gold Coast.

Some of the reasons, hiring a ute helps to make it easy to move your expensive electronic items are:

Easy to load

Ute’s are very easy to load as you can get to them from all sides, making placing large, bulky objects in them easier than say trying to place them inside a truck or van.

You can get different styles of trays, some have drop and removable sides while others are fitted with waterproof and lockable tops. Talk with the guys at ute hire on the Gold Coast about any special needs you may have.

Utes have a huge carrying capacity

The trays on utes are designed for carrying stuff they provide lots of tie down points making it easy to secure any size or shape of package. Things like flat screen plasma TV’s are thin, long and tall, so need to be properly supported. Often the best place for items such as these is directly behind the cab in a box.

Ideally monitors and TV screens should be packed in the same box they were purchased in, but if this is not an option, then find a box just a little larger than they are and wrap them in bubble wrap or soft cloth.

It’s not recommended to use polystyrene chips or pieces for packing electronic equipment as they tend to rub together and cause a static buildup. This can result in damage to the delicate electronic components.

Most electronic equipment today is light and easy to carry although it can be bulky, especially the speakers in electronic sound systems. The ute try is ideal for packing a quantity of boxes especially when they need to support each other while standing up as well as being tied securely so they can’t move around

Utes are easy to drive

Ute are virtually the same as driving a car, they have excellent suspension to ensure your electronic equipment has a smooth ride and does not get excessively shaken or bounced around on a long trip

Difficult items can be accommodated in the back of a ute

Items such as printers and projectors tend to have bits that stick out making them very difficult to pack without their original packaging and they are very fragile, so need extreme care when handling. Like most electronic equipment they do not like things stacked on top of them and it’s important to remove ink cartridges before packing them up to avoid hard to clean spills.

Stack inside your fridge or freezer

Some heavy electronic items such as fridges and freezers make an ideal place to pack sensitive electronic gear as long as you utilize plenty of soft cushioning material such as T shirts and bathroom towels.
