Two-man delivery service from Thorne for heavy, awkward, or high-value goods that need more than a one-driver van. Crewed vehicles, white-glove handling, lifts and stairs, and full goods-in-transit insurance on every Thorne job.
Get a QuoteWhen a Thorne consignment needs a second pair of hands at the pickup, the destination, or both, our two-man service is the answer. From flat-pack assembly returns to gym equipment, restaurant fit-outs to bespoke furniture, antiques to commercial appliances — Maine Couriers moves them on dedicated crewed vehicles with the proper handling.
From Thorne we crew two-man jobs on Luton box vans (with tail lift, ideal for furniture, appliances, and bulky bagged loads), 7.5 tonne curtainsiders or boxes (multi-pallet or oversized loads), and LWB vans for lighter two-man work. The crew is two vetted drivers briefed on the Thorne pickup and destination — including any access constraints we know about up front.
On a Thorne two-man booking, the Thorne customer gets a fixed price up front, two crew on the day, and a controlled handover at both ends. We don't bill extra for stair carries, awkward parking, or out-of-hours work on Thorne runs — those scenarios are factored into the Thorne quote at the booking stage rather than added on at the end.
Thorne two-man jobs cover bespoke furniture and antiques, commercial kitchen and restaurant fit-outs, gym equipment installations, large appliances (washing machines, fridge-freezers, range cookers), bedroom and lounge sets, IT and AV equipment going into commercial premises, hospitality fit-outs (hotels, bars, retail), trade-show stands and exhibition kit, and high-value art or collector items.
Our Thorne two-man crews cover the surrounding towns and addresses listed below. Two-man jobs are quoted on the same per-mile, per-vehicle rate as a Thorne centre booking — no postcode surcharges, no rural fees, no extra charge for stair access or awkward parking on the Thorne run.
Thorne customers book two-man over a single-driver service for one of three reasons: the goods are too heavy or awkward to land safely with one person, the Thorne access at one end (or both) needs a coordinated lift-and-carry, or the value is high enough that the customer wants a second pair of hands and a second pair of eyes on the consignment. Two-man rules out the most common damage and delay scenarios on Thorne jobs.
On a Luton with tail lift our Thorne two-man crews handle items up to about 350 kg as a single piece. For anything heavier we move to a 7.5 tonne vehicle with appropriate lifting equipment. We'll confirm the right setup when you give us the Thorne pickup details and the item dimensions.
Yes. Stair carries are included in the Thorne two-man price up to a typical four-storey walk-up. For taller buildings or items that need specialist lifting equipment we'll discuss the access plan before quoting.
Yes. Every Thorne two-man job is covered by goods-in-transit insurance up to consignment value, with optional uplift for very high-value items. Cover applies from collection through to signed delivery.
Yes, subject to crew availability. Same-day Thorne two-man bookings are quoted on the call and confirmed only once both crew and the right vehicle are allocated. We'll be honest if the timing isn't realistic for the specific Thorne job.
