A haulage contractor has the great task of transporting larger goods from point A to point B for a range of domestic or commercial needs. These services are different to a courier where multiple deliveries tend to be made on a large route, we just share the roads! Whether it’s for a large building project or you are moving to a new home, Heaver Bros Ltd can cater to projects of all sizes so call us today on 01392 447747.

What Does General Haulage Mean?

Transporting products such as construction materials, furniture, and machinery to locations around the UK and Western Europe is one of our general haulage services. A haulage company takes great care to ensure that the goods they transport are always secure and that nothing is shipped damaged or defective.

Haulier services are most widely used to transport vast amounts of materials to building sites. They also depend on companies like ours to supply their equipment in order to complete their tasks. Depending on the customer’s needs, a variety of road haulage vehicles may be employed. There are some of them:

Tautliners

Since it has the highest strength-to-weight ratio resistance, the Tautliner is ideal for transporting heavier items. This vehicle has curtains that are fixed when moving to protect the load, then draw back for easier unloading when products need to be dispatched.

Euroliners

The Euroliner trailer is widely used for pallet loads and has the option of loading from the curtain sides as well as from the top. This choice is much smaller, and it can carry up to 34 pallets.

Flatbeds

Our flatbed trucks are ideal for loading and unloading goods quickly. Since they are not enclosed vehicles, they are typically used to carry larger objects that can withstand rain.

Step Frames

The Step Frame vehicles have two levels that make moving tracked or larger wheeled objects easier. With a ramp at the back, these are simple to load.

Sliding Skeletal Trailers

We use Sliding Skeletal Trailers for transporting storage units. It’s low unladen weight and durability make these so great.

Haulage Contractor Definition

The best way to describe the role of a haulage contractor is as a larger-scale removals operation. Where we can also assist those who are rehoming themselves, our expertise is in the transportation of large objects of all sorts. There isn’t anything that a haulier service can’t move, as long as it’s within reason!

There are a variety of lorry sizes available, depending on the job and the things that need to be transported. Each client has specific requirements that must be met by the haulier.
