Flatbed Loads
Precast concrete drainage haulage – we transport precast concrete pipes and manholes from factories direct to building sites across the UK.
Precast concrete flooring haulage – we transport precast floor panels, wall panels, t-beams, staircases, lift shafts and bridge sections to construction sites across the UK. These are timed deliveries, our customers trust us to deliver to sites just on time so that their product can be craned from the trailer straight into construction. We are FORS and Direct Vision Standard compliant, so we make deliveries to the middle of Scottish wind farms to high rises in the middle of London.
We transport sawn timber from sawmills and docks to timber and builders’ merchants across the UK.
We transport brick and block products from English quarries to sites across Scotland.
We transport steel rebar and mesh from ports and docks across the UK to factories and sites in Scotland.
We transport empty containers and modular units on our 45-foot flatbed trailers to and from Scotland. The containers range in length and can be combined on the trailer (40-foot, 36-foot, 24-foot, 20-foot,10-foot and 8-foot).
We work with straw dealers to transport straw to and from farms across the UK.
Our fleet is equipped to transport abnormal flatbed loads. We have our own escort vehicles so that we can take full responsibility for the safe, timely delivery of abnormal loads for our customers.
Flatbed Trailer Solutions
We have over 100 flatbed trailers. We supply our customers with stand trailers so that they can load our trailers to suit their needs. It helps our customers to level their loading demand, whilst reducing loading windows, double handling and waiting time, so that their production remains safe and efficient.
Our 45-foot construction specification flatbed trailers are designed to transport fully freighted loads of construction goods to building sites. The trailers are fitted with ground mountable side protection posts, sliding wide load marker boards and beacons. Side protection reduces the risk of trailer falls, meaning trailers can be unloaded safely at sites. The marker boards and beacons mean we can deliver wide or long loads for our customers when required.
Our urban flatbed trailers are designed to allow greater manoeuvrability in compact spaces such as building yards and housing estates. The urban trailers are 35-foot long with a rear stear axle and are built to construction specification. Meaning we can deliver fully freighted loads to sites with reduced access.
Our 45-foot timber specification flatbed trailers are fitted with timber pins so that we can transport round timber from forest to mill. Once unloaded the trailer can be reloaded with sawn timber from the same mill. Meaning we can deliver to and from sawmills with maximum efficiency reducing the carbon footprint of our customers products.
