£200
Farringdon, Greater London

I need assistance with offloading several heavy tables from a delivery truck arriving at 7:00 AM on Thursday, 27th November. The tables are on wheels. Their approximate sizes and weights are: 1 × 1500 × 750 mm (~53 kg) 4 × 2000 × 750 mm (~66 kg) 4 × 2500 × 750 mm (~85 kg) The truck will have a tail lift, but some tables are too long to fit fully on it, so they will need to be carefully supported while being unloaded. Once off the truck, the tables need to be wheeled approximately 100 metres into the office. In addition, there will be several unconnected shelves that can be wheeled on top of the tables Please only respond if you are experienced with heavy lifting and have appropriate insurance for this type of work.
