Our Fleet

The Right Vehicle for Every Load

Low Loader

For heavy, tracked, or wheeled loads that cannot be transported on a standard trailer. Our low loaders handle oversized plant, transformers, generators, fabricated structures, and abnormal project cargo.

Suitable For

  • Plant and tracked machinery
  • Transformers and generators
  • Oversized fabricated steel
  • Abnormal and indivisible loads
  • Energy infrastructure equipment

Step-Frame Trailer

The step-frame drops the deck height for taller loads, providing height clearance while maintaining compliance. Used for tall industrial units, containerised systems, and large manufactured components.

Suitable For

  • Tall industrial units
  • Containerised energy systems
  • Large manufactured components
  • Agricultural machinery
  • Construction equipment

Curtain-Side Trailer

Fully sheeted curtain-side trailers for general, palletised, and mixed freight. Side-access loading enables fast turnaround at warehouse and distribution sites.

  • Timber packs and sheet materials
  • Mixed and groupage loads

  • Port container collection
  • Door-to-door container delivery
  • Container repositioning

Why Our Fleet Makes the Difference

Own Fleet — No Sub-Contracting

We own and operate our vehicles. That means direct control over scheduling, loading standards, and delivery — no third parties between us and the outcome.

Port of Bristol Base

Operating from Avonmouth, we are positioned at the heart of the Port of Bristol — minimising port-to-trailer transit time and maximising our availability at quayside.

Integrated with Our Handling

Transport is part of our wider operation — container devanning, heavy lifting, stuffing, and storage. One call covers the full freight chain.

Short Notice Bookings

Port freight does not always run to plan. We respond within 2 hours and accommodate short-notice requirements wherever operationally possible.
