Low Loader Trailers

Semi-low loader trailers

As projects get bigger and more ambitious, so does the equipment required to do them. Excavators at 25 tonnes plus, high level demolition equipment and crawler cranes are routinely moved at 50 tonne loadings. In addition, a host of semi-mobile plant such as large generators, crushing and screening plant, dirty water pumps and large masses of  crane/dynamic geophysical ballast blocks are moved by road every day.

We have our own load escorting personnel and vehicles in house, so we can deploy these at very short notice. Our routing partners have direct access to the Highways Agency, giving us the edge when it comes to rapid processing of  ‘Abnormal Load Permits’

Having low loaders with HIABS with the ability to self load/off load when required can be tremendously useful for this sort of work.

Payloads range from 24 to 50 tonnes (Special Types – CAT 2 –  79.9 t STGO)
