Man and Van Poole & Dorset – Delivery & Transport Services
Fast, reliable man and van hire across Poole and Dorset.
LDK Man and Van is a Poole-based man and van service covering single-item deliveries, small moves and business drop-offs across Poole and Dorset. Jobs run in a 20m³ Luton van with a 979 kg payload and 500 kg hydraulic tail lift. Every job is covered by Goods in Transit and Public Liability insurance. Pricing is a fixed quote agreed before booking, secured with a 30% deposit.
Your Trusted Transport Partner
A man and van booking should be simple: one driver, one van, a price agreed before the job starts. That’s how LDK Man and Van works across Poole.
Before loading, heavier or awkward items are wrapped and secured with straps so nothing shifts in transit. Where an item is too heavy to carry safely a fridge-freezer, a sofa, gym equipment the tail lift is used instead of asking the customer to help lift it up a ramp. On flats or properties without ground-level access, tell us about stairs, lifts or narrow parking when you request a quote, so the job is planned properly before the van arrives.

Our Delivery Process
- Get a quote — send your items, collection and delivery postcodes, and any access details (stairs, lifts, parking, dismantling needed). These are what actually shape the price, not just distance.
- Confirm with a 30% deposit — this secures your date and van.
- Moving day — the driver arrives with protective blankets, straps and the tail lift ready for loading.
- Delivery and balance — items are unloaded and placed where you need them; the remaining balance is paid by card once the job is done.
Cancelling with 72 hours’ notice or more gets your deposit back in full.
