2.5m wide x 4m high. This is a reduced length removal truck that still offers a reasonable volume to move an average house. Mainly used on European trips as it allows the front to be detached from the rear allowing closer access to properties where it's too tight for a very large vehicle. This vehicle has a special drop body which enables us to store your possessions in the body of the truck in a compound for a short period.

Abels went above and beyond moving house for us this week, on the hottest 2 days of the year! From packing everything, manoeuvring their lorry with expertise and they kept smiling all the time. Such a thoroughly nice team made a hot and stressful time seem so much more pleasant. Could not recommend highly enough.
Big shoutout to the team Michael, Alan, Andy, Tom Sal, John and Chantelle , thank you, you were all stars.

I recently used Abels for my move from the UK to Germany. Throughout and in every respect, the service provided has been superb! The customer support always -- not only until they received the money -- replied swiftly and did everything they could to be of help.
The shipping of my belongings took a bit of time, but considering Brexit and the pandemic, was much quicker than expected; there were also no issues regarding paperwork. The delivery itself went smoothly and the gentlemen driving the lorry were very friendly and a real pleasure to interact with, despite their having had to navigate a rather

We cannot recommend enough - From quote to moving day the team at Abels were amazing! Our quote was quick and painless with a very fast and efficient service and on move day the team were fantastic with our belongings, careful and considerate with great communication throughout, they offered moral support when needed, more than just a removal service! A fantastic bunch of guys who worked incredibly hard and carried out their duties professionally and with a smile. Worth every penny and would recommend to anyone.

Over the years I had numerous removals with different companies and VERY varied experiences.
Abels have provided me with the most amazing service exceeding all my expectations.
The whole team from office to collection and delivery teams have been really transparent, attentive, professional and courteous (what is much appreciated). The pricing was also very sensible but to be honest this was the least of our worries. The goods were collected and delivered at the agreed time and they did not lose anything or cause any unexpected damage.
I will certainly keep their details on file for future use

Like most other reviewers, very poor experience with Abels/Sclusa. We moved from London to San Francisco back in 2014. We were told 6/8 weeks for delivery, it took almost FIVE MONTHS (May to September). We were not informed that we would have to pay an extra fee at the arrival to the port (over $100, if I remember correctly), which isn't the end of the world, but I generally prefer clear communication and properly set expectations. Lack of transparency and overall disappointing experience, avoid if you have other providers in the area.
