What We Move

If It Needs Lifting, We Deliver It

Our lorry loaders handle the awkward, heavy and high-value loads other hauliers turn away. Recent work includes shipping containers, portable cabins and welfare units, generators, kiosks, steel beams, cable drums, timber packs, event structures and plant.

Tight city-centre streets, muddy compounds, dockside lifts and motorway trunking — our drivers see it all every week and arrive with the right kit to do the job safely.

Coverage

Based in the North West. Never Limited to It.

Our depot sits minutes from the M60, M62 and M6, which puts most of Britain within a day’s reach. We routinely deliver into London and the South East, Hull and the Humber ports, Birmingham and the Midlands, Yorkshire and the North East, and across the border into Scotland and Wales.

Wherever your collection and delivery points are, one call covers the whole movement — no subcontract chains, no surprises.

Our Fleet Operates in Every UK Clean Air Zone

UK cities including Birmingham, Bristol, Bath, Sheffield, Portsmouth and London have Clean Air Zones that charge non-compliant lorries up to £100 per day. Some operators add these charges to your invoice after the job.

Our hiab lorries meet the Euro 6 emission standard, which means they are exempt from CAZ daily charges in every current English Clean Air Zone and London’s ULEZ. The quote we give you covers the whole job — nothing is added for emission zone compliance afterwards.

  • Euro 6 fleet — no CAZ charges incurred or passed on
  • Covers all English CAZs, London ULEZ and Scottish LEZs
  • All jobs quoted as a fixed all-in price nationwide

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does hiab truck hire cost?

Every job is priced individually based on load weight, lift requirements and time on site. Call 0330 107 7400 or request a quote online and we will give you a clear, no-obligation price.

Do you cover the whole of the UK?

Yes. We are based in Manchester but our hiab lorries work nationally every day across England, Scotland and Wales, including London, the Midlands, Yorkshire, the South West and the Scottish central belt.

What can a hiab lorry lift and carry?

Our vehicles routinely move shipping containers, portable cabins, plant, steel, timber, generators, kiosks and machinery. Tell us the weight, dimensions and site access and we will recommend the right vehicle.

Does the vehicle come with a driver?

Yes. Every hire includes a trained, experienced driver who operates the loader crane, so you do not need any licensed staff of your own on site.

How quickly can you get to us?

In many cases we can schedule collections within a short timeframe, depending on diary commitments and your location. Contact us with your dates and we will confirm availability straight away.
