JD Services (Bristol) Ltd

Our Fleet & Equipment

We own and operate our own specialist transport fleet and freight handling equipment. That means one call, one operation, and no dependency on third parties.

Lifting up to 16 Tonnes

One Operation. No Handoffs.

When freight is complex, every handoff between contractors is an opportunity for delay, damage, or miscommunication. JD Services operates its own fleet of specialist transport vehicles — giving you a single point of accountability from port to destination.

Our fleet includes low loaders, step-frame trailers, curtain-side trailers, skeletal trailers, and tankers. Combined with our 16-tonne heavy-lift capability and container handling operation, we manage multiple stages of a freight movement within one business.

Devan it. Lift it. Store it. Load it. Secure it. Stuff it. Move it.

Transport Fleet

Specialist Vehicles

Low Loader Trailers

For oversized and heavy cargo that cannot travel on a standard trailer. Ideal for tracked and wheeled plant, transformers, generators, fabricated structures, and abnormal project cargo.

  • Plant and machinery movements
  • Transformer and generator transport
  • Oversized fabricated components
  • Heavy project cargo

Step-Frame Trailers

The step-frame configuration provides increased height clearance for taller loads while maintaining road legality. Suited to tall industrial units, containerised equipment, and energy infrastructure components.

  • Tall industrial units
  • Containerised energy systems
  • Large fabricated steel
  • Agricultural and construction machinery

Curtain-Side Trailers

Fully sheeted curtain-side trailers for general freight, palletised goods, timber, and mixed cargo. Side-access loading for faster turnaround at warehouse and distribution sites.

  • General palletised freight
  • Timber packs and sheet materials
  • Mixed and groupage loads
  • Warehouse and distribution movements

Skeletal Trailers

Purpose-built for ISO container transport. Skeletal trailers move 20ft and 40ft containers directly from port to destination — no transhipment, no delay.

  • 20ft and 40ft ISO container movements
  • Port container collection and delivery
  • Direct port-to-door container transport
  • Container repositioning

Tankers

Tanker capacity for liquid and bulk material movements. Available for specialist freight requirements.

Handling Equipment

The Right Equipment for Every Load

Heavy-Lift Forklifts

Handling capacity up to 16 tonnes. Our heavy-lift forklift capability covers steel coils, timber packs, heavy pallets, plant, and oversize unit loads at port and inland sites.

Coil Cradles & Securing Equipment

Specialist coil cradles, ratchet lashing straps, edge protectors, and timber chocking for safe handling and securing of steel coils up to container load.

Auger Loading Equipment

Auger-assisted bulk material loading for grain, aggregate, granular freight, and bulk commodities. Faster and more efficient than manual or conveyor loading for certain freight types.

Container Handling Equipment

Forklift and manual handling equipment for container stuffing and devanning — from standard palletised freight to floor-loaded, breakbulk, and specialist cargo.

Freight Securing Equipment

Comprehensive securing inventory: lashing bars, ratchet straps, chain lashing sets, edge protectors, timber dunnage, and bracing materials for all trailer types and container configurations.
