Specialist heavy freight handling and lifting up to 16 tonnes at Avonmouth, Bristol. Abnormal loads, project cargo, and oversized freight — handled by one operation from port to destination.
The freight others say no to.
When cargo is too heavy, too awkward, or too complex for standard logistics operators, JD Services has the equipment, the experience, and the fleet to handle it. Port-side or inland — one operation end to end.
Our heavy-lift forklift capability handles freight up to 16 tonnes — covering steel coils, heavy pallets, plant and machinery, containerised units, and oversized project cargo.
Oversized and indivisible loads that cannot travel on a standard trailer. We plan and execute abnormal load movements with the appropriate equipment, permits, and procedures.
Heavy freight coming off vessel at Avonmouth or Royal Portbury Dock handled directly at port — minimising transhipment and keeping dwell time low.
For multi-stage project freight movements — we manage lifting, storage, stuffing or loading, and transport within one operation. Single-handler accountability throughout.
Once lifted and secured, heavy and oversized cargo moves on our own low loaders and step-frame trailers. No sub-contracting the onward movement.
All heavy freight is properly secured before it moves. Our securing team uses appropriate lashing, chocking, and bracing for the load type — documented and compliant.
If you are not sure whether we can handle your freight, call us. We will tell you honestly whether it falls within our capability — and if it does, we will get it moved.
