They include flat, step-frame and low loader trailers and other variants suitable for specialist customers with abnormal loads in crane loading, railway operations, tracked vehicles and the construction industry. Our trailers are capable of dealing with a very wide range of loads and customer circumstances, as the photographs indicate. We recognise the benefit to our customers of helpful, well-presented drivers delivering their goods. All our drivers wear our uniform. They are issued with personal protective equipment as the loads demand. All our drivers are contactable by hands-free in-cab phones.
