    Hi,

    I'm looking to save some money by buying scaffolding for a new build and sell it after rather than renting. There are some nearby sellers on done deal but the issue is collecting such a big load. Any recommendations on the best option for this? I have people with experience in mind to set it up its just getting the stuff on site.

    You could rent a large van like a Renault traffic from the likes of Europe Car to do a couple of runs with it

    Experience is not enough, they need to be licensed, if not and something goes wrong you will be in the very very deep stuff

    Very valid advice.

    I’ll just comment on the transport side. What about GoCar? They have vans you can rent by the hour.

    lets be reasonable here, scaffolding for a new build is not going to fit in a van, its going to need a flat bed truck or a tractor and trailer, could do it with a van and trailer potentially but going to take a lot of runs. Find someone you can hire with a tractor and flat bed trailer, with silage season over should be possible, and have a front loader on tractor for loading and unloading.
