A REMOVALS service for offices and commercial organisations is to be extended into 10 regional centres by Pickfords Removals Ltd. Each centre is adjacent to adequate storage facilities and is able to use the company's network of purpose-built container warehouses at Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester, Bradford, Newcastle upon Tyne, Glasgow and Edinburgh.
Designed specifically for the operation is a Luton pantechnicon with a crew cab behind the driving cab to carry up to five crew and an integral tail-lift of 1 ton capacity.
Only one of these vehicles is at present available and some of the design features have yet to be /tiny evaluated. The other eight chassis-cab assemblies are at the bodybuilder—Arlington—awaiting a final decision.
A re-training programme is being conducted for managers, foremen and crewmen to demonstate the new vehicles and other equipment.
Pickfords also advise potential customers about the best way to undertake the removal and provide literature on how the planning should be done.
