Transporting Office Chairs by Taxi

Admin October 08, 2026

When transporting office chairs by taxi, it is necessary to select an appropriate vehicle type based on the chair's size, folding status, and quantity, while also paying attention to compliance and item protection.

Vehicle Selection Recommendations

  1. Compact Chairs (e.g., Swivel Chairs)
    If the chair is compact and foldable, the trunk of a regular B-class car or SUV can usually accommodate it easily. For example, some SUVs have a trunk volume exceeding 700 liters, and the rear seats support proportional folding, allowing for flexible space expansion, suitable for transporting 1-2 folded chairs.

  2. Unfolded or Large-sized Chairs

    • Premium/Special Cars (B-class cars or SUVs): If the chair is unfolded or large in size, prioritize selecting an SUV model with a larger trunk volume. After folding the rear seats of some models, they can transport 4 folded chairs, but it is necessary to confirm in advance whether the space is sufficient.
    • Six-seater Business Vehicles (MPVs): MPV models have flexible space layouts. Even when fully occupied, the trunk still has a volume of 475-521 liters, and the third-row seats can often be folded, making them suitable for transporting multiple unfolded chairs.
    • Freight Platform (e.g., Huolala): If there are many chairs or they are large in volume, it is recommended to directly select a freight vehicle. These vehicles are designed specifically for carrying goods, with ample cargo space, ensuring more stable transportation.

Precautions

  1. Compliance Requirements
    Occasionally transporting personal items in passenger vehicles is generally acceptable, but it is necessary to ensure no overloading and no obstruction of the driver's view to avoid penalties for violating traffic rules.

  2. Advance Communication and Confirmation
    When placing an order, write in the remarks column that there are large items such as office chairs. After the driver accepts the order, they should contact you by phone immediately to inform you of the item's size, quantity, and whether it needs to be folded, confirming whether the vehicle space matches.

  3. Item Protection Measures
    When handling, avoid touching the chair's adjustment buttons (such as height adjustment and rotation mechanisms) to prevent damage to the vehicle's interior or the chair itself. If the chair has sharp parts, it is recommended to wrap them with soft cloth or secure them to reduce transportation risks.

Summary: When transporting office chairs, prioritize selecting a vehicle type based on the chair's status. Compact chairs can use ordinary cars, while large-sized or unfolded chairs are recommended to use SUVs, MPVs, or freight vehicles. At the same time, comply with regulatory requirements, communicate with the driver in advance, and take good item protection measures.
