Container transport
Shipping and storage containers collected, carried and set down where you need them.

One lorry, one trained driver
Collected, carried and set down where you need it
Every job we do follows the same simple idea. Our lorry arrives with its own lorry mounted lifting arm, the driver lifts your load onto the bed, carries it to the delivery point and lifts it off again, setting it down exactly where you want it. One booking covers the transport and the lift.
That makes HIAB transport a natural fit for builders, manufacturers, hire companies, event organisers, farms, schools and private customers. From our depot in Manchester we run to sites across England, Scotland and Wales, and each job is planned before the lorry is booked.
- Our own lorries and trained drivers
- Rigid, wagon and drag and artic HIABs
- Low loaders, flatbeds and extendable trailers
- Drivers with CPCS cards, working to ALLMI guidance
- FORS Bronze accredited fleet
- Trade accounts with one monthly invoice

How it works
From your enquiry to the load in place
New to HIAB transport? Our guide What is a HIAB? explains the lorry, the lifting arm and what happens on the day.
Send the details
Tell us what the load is, where it is now and where it needs to go. Add up to four photos.
We plan the lift
We check the access and the delivery point, and match the vehicle to the load.
Collection
Our driver lifts the load onto the lorry and secures it for the journey.
Delivery
The load is lifted off and set down in position, ready for you to use.
On the road and on site
All kinds of loads, all over Great Britain
Pressure vessels through town streets, lighting towers on long trailers and units lifted into place on site. Whatever the load, the job is planned around the vehicle, the route and the site.
Why book with us
Planned properly, delivered safely
Planned before booking
We look at the load, the route and the delivery point first, so the right lorry arrives and the day runs to plan.
A vehicle for every load
From compact rigids to artics and low loaders, we send what suits the job. See our vehicles.
Trade accounts
Regular customers get one monthly invoice, with each job still priced on its own. Email us for the trade account form.

Questions about our services
What HIAB haulage services do you offer?
We collect, carry and lift containers, portable cabins, machinery, steel and precast, tanks, generators, construction materials, modular buildings, event units and glamping pods. We also handle dual HIAB lifts, heavy lift haulage, general HIAB deliveries and HIAB hire with a trained driver.
My load is not on the list. Can you still help?
Very likely. Send us a description of the load, where it is and where it needs to go, plus a few photos, and we will tell you how we would move it.
How do you choose the right vehicle?
We look at the size of the load, the route and the access at both ends before the lorry is booked. That tells us whether a rigid, wagon and drag, artic or low loader suits the job.
Do you cover the whole of the UK?
We are based in Manchester and work across England, Scotland and Wales. Every job is planned in the same way wherever it is going.
Have a load to move?
Send us the collection and delivery points, a description of the load and a few photos. We will plan the lift and come back to you with a price.
