Professional Commercial Van Services in Leicester

Leicester's business geography spans several distinct commercial zones, each with different access challenges.

The Waterside regeneration area along the River Soar in LE3 has seen rapid office development in recent years. Buildings on Frog Island and King Street often have narrow vehicle access and no dedicated loading bays. Giant Van operates Luton vans and long-wheelbase transit vans depending on what the site permits.

The Meridian Business Park in Braunstone (LE3) and Fosse Park Retail and Business Park near the M1 Junction 21 are straightforward for larger commercial moves.

Wide service roads, ample turning circles, and proximity to the ring road mean we can complete full office clearances efficiently. If you are relocating between these out-of-town parks and the city centre, we route via the A563 Leicester outer ring road to avoid the Humberstone Gate and Clock Tower congestion during peak hours.

Businesses in the Aylestone Road corridor (LE2) include warehousing, light manufacturing, and trade suppliers.

Several of these premises have roller shutter access and loading docks. Our vans are fitted with hydraulic taillifts on request, which is essential for moving pallet-sized commercial equipment without a forklift on site.

The St.

Matthew's Estate and Highfields area east of the city centre (LE5) hosts a dense concentration of small independent retailers, medical practices, and community organisations. Streets off Evington Road and Mere Road are tight. We use transit-sized vehicles where Luton vans would not manoeuvre, and drivers carry wheel ramps and furniture sliders to protect shopfronts and tiled floors.

Not all commercial moves involve desks and filing cabinets.

Leicester has a strong manufacturing and textiles heritage, and many businesses in the LE1 Fabric Quarter and along Frog Island still handle heavy or oversized equipment. Cutting tables, industrial sewing machines, embroidery rigs, and bolt fabric stock require more than a standard van move.

Giant Van can provide two-man teams for heavy commercial items.

The second operative is available from £15 per hour additional. For machinery that cannot be tipped or tilted, we use wide-format pallet trolleys and floor runners. We do not attempt to move machinery that requires crane or forklift handling, but we can work alongside your plant hire contractor to manage the rest of the office or workspace contents during the same operation.

Retail businesses relocating within Leicester's shopping districts, particularly along Church Gate, Highcross Street, and the independent shops on Silver Street and Market Street, often have stockroom contents that require careful handling.

Glass display cases, mannequins, lighting rigs, and POS units all need securing with the correct packing materials. We carry stretch wrap, bubble wrap, and furniture blankets on every vehicle at no additional charge.

Leicester's restaurant and hospitality sector, particularly concentrated around the Golden Mile on Belgrave Road and the Granby Street bars district, generates regular van work for catering equipment moves.

Combi ovens, refrigeration units, and bar equipment require padded securing and upright transport. We confirm weight limits and floor loading with venues before arrival to avoid access issues in older buildings with load-restricted service lifts.
