Most deliveries only need one driver. But when an item is heavy, bulky, or simply too awkward to move safely alone, a standard courier isn’t set up to help — and that’s where two man delivery comes in.
What is two man delivery?
Two man delivery means exactly what it sounds like: two trained drivers attend the collection and delivery, working together to carry, manoeuvre and position an item safely. Rather than leaving a large or heavy item on a doorstep, both drivers can carry it into the property and place it in the room of your choice.
What kind of items need two people?
Two man delivery is typically booked for:
- Furniture – sofas, wardrobes, dining tables, beds
- Large appliances – fridge freezers, washing machines, ranges
- Bulky or awkward-shaped items that are difficult for one person to manoeuvre through doorways, stairs or tight corners
- Items that are heavy enough to pose a manual handling risk to a single driver
How is it different from a standard delivery?
A standard one-driver delivery is usually a kerbside or doorstep drop-off – practical for parcels and smaller items, but not designed for carrying something heavy up a flight of stairs or through a narrow hallway. Two man delivery is built for exactly that scenario, with the manpower to move an item safely into the space it’s actually needed.
It also reduces risk. Trying to manoeuvre a heavy wardrobe or appliance alone is how doorframes get scuffed, staircases get damaged, and drivers get injured. Two trained people sharing the load makes for a safer, more controlled delivery.
Does it include assembly?
Two man delivery focuses on safely carrying and positioning your item. If you also need furniture built or assembled once it’s in place, that’s typically offered as a separate but related service. So definitely worth mentioning when you book if it’s something you need.
Booking a two man delivery
As with other services, no account is required. Just get in touch with details of what’s being delivered, the collection and delivery addresses, and any access considerations (stairs, narrow doorways, parking restrictions) so the JTS team can plan accordingly.
