10 bus movements this year so far… 😂😂 I think we’ve unintentionally become bus movers!

Most of them have been non-runners, but nothing a bit of winching can’t sort. 💪

If you need your pride and joy moved—whether it’s a truck, bus, van, car, or machinery—running or non-running, we’ve got you covered.

Introducing our new 4-axle semi low loading, which we collected last week from John Hudson Trailers Ltd

This latest addition to the fleet allows us to take on even bigger and heavier loads, running alongside our Volvo FH16, which is currently plated at 65 tonnes.

The trailer is also fitted with a heavy duty winch, making it ideal for loading difficult, non-running vehicles, plant, and machinery safely and efficiently.

We’re looking forward to putting it to work and expanding the range of transport solutions we can offer our customers.

If we can help with your transport requirements, we’d love to hear from you.
