For whom is a part load especially worthwhile?

A shared load is ideal for students, singles or smaller households with a limited moving volume. For long-distance moves where a complete lorry would be uneconomical, a shared load is also an affordable alternative. Those who are flexible on the delivery date benefit most from the favourable terms of this form of transport.

How much does a part load cost compared to the complete move?

The cost of a shared load is usually well below that of an exclusive removal van, as you only pay for the loading volume you use. The exact price depends on cubic metres, distance and flexibility on the date. We give you a binding fixed price in advance, so that no hidden extra costs arise.

How long does delivery take with a shared load?

Because several customers are grouped together on one route with a shared load , delivery can take a different length of time depending on the route and tour planning. We always inform you about the expected delivery date, so that you can plan your move accordingly. Flexibility in choosing the date often speeds up delivery.

Is my part load insured?

Yes. With a shared load , too, the moving company is liable for loss and damage under the HGB, up to €620 per cubic metre of cargo space (§ 451e HGB). Report visible damage no later than the day after delivery and hidden damage within 14 days (§ 451f HGB).

How much fits into a shared load?

In principle, a shared load is suitable for volumes from a few cubic metres up to a smaller household. Larger moves can also be combined, provided there is enough capacity on the route in question. Our team advises you individually on what amount is suitable for an economical shared load.

Can I arrange a fixed delivery date for the part load?

A fixed date is only possible to a limited extent with a shared load , as the route depends on several customer jobs. However, we always give you a realistic time window for collection and delivery. Those who are flexible on timing usually benefit from the best terms and the shortest waiting times.

Is a shared load also suitable for long-distance moves?

Yes, a shared load is particularly economical for long-distance moves of several hundred kilometres, as the travel costs are spread across several customers. You can find more information on our long-distance offers under Long-distance move . This saves you a considerable amount compared with an exclusive transport.

Do I have to be present myself on the shared load date?

We recommend that you are present in person for the collection and delivery of your shared load , to confirm the handover and the condition of the furniture. Alternatively, an authorised person can attend instead. We agree the exact time with you by phone in advance, so that everything runs smoothly.

How does a shared load differ from a private move?

With a classic private move , the entire removal van is at your exclusive disposal, whereas with a shared load the loading area is shared. This makes a shared load cheaper, but somewhat less flexible on dates. Depending on your budget and time frame, we recommend the right option individually.

Which items are suitable for a shared load?

Almost all furniture, boxes and household items can be transported as a shared load , as long as they are packed properly. We also secure fragile or bulky items professionally for the shared transport. For particularly valuable items, we are happy to advise you on additional protective measures.

Questions and answers

Unsere Firma Professional on-site moving solutions with secure planning, flexible services and on-time execution.

With a shared load you share the loading area of a removal van with other customers travelling a similar route. This saves real money, because you only pay for the space you actually use in the vehicle. For long-distance moves or smaller moving volumes in particular, this solution is economically very attractive. We are liable for your belongings under the same statutory rules as with a classic move.

We plan the trips so that several jobs on shared routes are combined; for this we agree a time window with you. This keeps the process transparent, and the fixed price is settled before booking. For students, commuters or smaller households in particular, a shared load is a real alternative to a private move. Pages on individual places can be found under Locations.

MAXIMUM CARE

In short: how we work

The answers in brief

The most important answers in brief: with a shared load you share the trip with other jobs and only pay for your share of the cargo space. You know the fixed price before booking, we are liable for your belongings under the German Commercial Code, and instead of a fixed date we agree a time window. Long-distance moves can also be organised this way – we plan them from Berlin (Stromstraße 21).

What is it?

Your furniture and boxes travel on a lorry that is heading your way anyway – you share the cargo space and the costs.

What does it cost?

The price depends on volume, distance and the effort on site; you receive it before booking as a binding fixed price.

How long does it take?

Instead of a fixed day there is a time window for collection and delivery, the length of which depends mainly on the route.

Who is liable?

The moving company is liable for loss and damage under the HGB; you should mention valuable individual items before booking.

FAQ

Shared load: 12 questions and answers

Short answers on the costs, duration, liability, volume and booking of a shared load.

With a shared load, your belongings are transported together with other consignments on a vehicle that is travelling the same route anyway. This means several customers share the transport costs, which lowers the price per person considerably. This solution is particularly suitable for smaller moving volumes or single pieces of furniture that do not need a complete lorry.

This is how a part load works

First we record your moving volume and compare it with existing tours heading to your destination region. If your shared load fits a planned route, we confirm a specific collection and delivery date and the fixed price.

On the day of collection our staff load your furniture properly and secure it for the shared transport. After arrival at the destination, delivery usually takes place within a few days, depending on tour planning.

Costs and advantages of a shared load

The biggest advantage of a shared load is the considerable cost saving compared with a dedicated transport, as several customers share the vehicle capacity. This option is particularly worthwhile for smaller households or single pieces of furniture, without you having to give up professional packing and insurance.

Prices are usually based on volume in cubic metres and distance, and we always communicate a transparent fixed price in advance. This way you keep full control of costs and avoid hidden extra charges.
