Gas & Air – Lugging loads in a Lockdown
Well Saturday 28th March was an exciting day here at Truck & Crane. First of all we were happy to be involved with the delivery of steelwork manufactured by our friends at Southdown Construction for the air-conditioning and treatment upgrades at Princess Royal Hospital, Haywards Heath (sorry for lack of piccys, for obvious reasons movement…
Time flies…
It was Mark Twain who said ‘History never repeats itself, but it quite often rhymes…’ So here are 2 proud truckers with their respective aviation cargoes. The chap in the uniform is Arthur Hammond who’s pictured hauling a torpedo plane during his wartime service with the Royal Navy in 1942. Our man in technicolor is…
Easy squeezy…
Here’s one of the Supertrucks out on its rounds just before Christmas. She’s certainly proving her worth with this job; being able to use just one truck to transport steel sections and install them at distance within the confines of an extremely limited footprint is their tour-de-force.

Town & Country – Truck & Crane
Well the falling of the leaves and dreadful wet weather doesn’t seemed to have dampened peoples enthusiasm to engage our services to move things about. See below with Tony ‘the townie’ Hill hauling in a tranche of structural steel from the south coast to Fulham and erecting it with his recently acquired 82 t/m FASSI…
Hey hey HAY!
So a lovely Henfield lady called Angela Pennicard had 14 big round hay bales going spare so she kindly donated them to the RSPCA Lockwood Equine Centre near Guildford. The only problem was how to get them there being about 20 miles away! So an FB post and a text or 2 later our driver…
Millimetre Perfect
This was a job that we’d seen some of before, having last year moved the components from Millimetre’s workshops on the south coast to a storage point in the heart of rural Sussex. Now that the site in North London had been prepared, we were readied to take it to it’s ultimate destination. Challenges included;…
Up and over
What to do when your very expensive, bespoke glazing unit turns up on site only for the builders to then tell you ‘That ain’t gonna go round the back Guv’. Too big innit!’ Luckily for Mr & Mrs ‘W’ of Lewes the answer was only a web-search away. We sent an Appointed Person out to…
Rotor quota…
Just a quick off load of a Lynx helicopter and setting it down on the hardstand for a client today. No need to worry about any fancy slinging as the technicians had a lifting point that connected to the top of the rotor shaft – held on by nothing else but the ‘Jesus-nut’ by jiggery!
Super new Supertruck!
After 10 months in the making our new Volvo tractor unit c/w 65 tonne per metre has arrived! So plus having the ability to lift and shift 40 foot shipping containers and being able to couple to our full range of trailers, we’ve built a lovely 4.50 m long super-body to fit it. This is…
Getting a grip…
As we say goodbye to the long hot summer of 2018 we thank all of our customers and employees for the experience of working with them. Picture shown is Barry ‘The Moo’ Huntley unloading the extensive range of grabs, breakers and handling equipment for Prodem at the Hillhead exhibition. I’m guessing he said ‘Cheese…’ 🙂…
