We use fully-trained hiab lorry drivers to deliver containers to your desired location. These lorries can place a container up to 8m away from the side of the lorry, we will make sure to communicate with you beforehand to ensure sufficient space is available. Our staff will work closely with you to make it a smooth process.

​All equipment is normally offloaded off to the side of the vehicle, and a 8m width is required for offloading. It is important we are made aware of any potential difficulties associated with delivery/collection of a unit. Please check the next tab DELIVERY CHECKLIST.
