Prices shown are guide “from” figures and may vary — with term length, mileage, availability and your risk profile. Your rental partner confirms the exact price before anything is agreed.
A dropside is a flat bed with sides that fold down, so you can load from any angle and carry things that would never fit through the back doors of a panel van. Timber, scaffold, landscaping materials and machinery all suit it. Short-term hire gets you one for as long as you need.
Load from any side
The fold-down sides mean you can load a pallet or a bundle of lengths straight onto the bed, far easier than wrestling long items through van doors. We match you to a partner who can supply single-cab or crew-cab dropsides.
For timber, scaffold and materials
Builders, scaffolders and landscapers use dropsides for exactly this: long, heavy or awkward loads that a closed van cannot take.
Flexible, all credit welcome
Take one for the job and hand it back after. Partners judge it on affordability now, so all credit is welcome.
