💪🚛 PROUD TO HAVE SUPPORTED ULTIMATE STRONGMAN PRODUCTIONS AGAIN!

Last weekend, we were proud to support Ultimate Strongman Productions at Wales’s Strongest Man, held last Sunday at Cardiff International Sports Campus in Cardiff, Wales.

Our truck made the journey to Cardiff to deliver the goods to the team — but this delivery had a rather different ending! 👀

💪🚛 Our truck was then used for the truck pull, with competitors having to pull the truck all the way over a 20-metre course!

Now that’s certainly putting a truck to work! 😂💪

🎥 Check out our truck in action in the truck pull in the video below!

A massive well done to all the competitors and everyone involved in Wales’s Strongest Man, and a big thank you to Ultimate Strongman Productions for having us involved once again.

We’re delighted to have played our part — from delivering the goods to providing the muscle! 💪🚛

We were proud to support Ultimate Strongman Productions at their recent Scotland’s Strongest Man competition.

Our team handled the transport side of the event, delivering the load for the Ultimate Strongman team ahead of setup and transporting everything on to their next event - UK's Strongest Man which will be held in Milton Keynes later this month!

The Ultimate Strongman team looked after the full setup and takedown, bringing together another fantastic competition, well done to all who took part!

While our truck was on site, it was also put to work in true strongman style — taking centre stage as part of the Truck Pull event, where competitors tested their strength by pulling it in front of the crowd.

It was brilliant to play a part in supporting the event and a huge well done to everyone involved in organising, competing and supporting the day.

From transport and logistics to strongman events — our trucks are built for the heavy stuff. 💪🚛

We have just added a new loader to the fleet and to say it has been kept busy is a bit of an understatement.

Here’s a few shots of it at work.

What a weekend - supporting Northwest Truck Run with not only 2 but 4 vehicles across 2 areas.

Our lovely rigid truck acted as a stage for Niall Mack and Katelynn to entertain everyone to X60, MX26 and RB51 DAF on show as well as being out on the NW200 circuit.

Great event ran by Community Rescue Service & credit to the photographers and everyone sending in to us!
