We take care of every aspect of heavy haulage, from identifying the best heavy haulage truck to planning a suitable route and organising permits and escorts. This way you can concentrate on what happens when the equipment is delivered to your site.

Before we do anything, we carefully plan and analyse your heavy haulage requirements, as well as any potential challenges. After this, we select the most suitable heavy haulage truck to ensure loads are transported safely. Our experts will then secure heavy loads to prevent them from falling off during transit and deliver them to the right place, at the right time.

So, if a prompt – but above all safe – transportation service is what you’re after, make JB Rawcliffe your first choice.

Almost any industry can benefit from heavy haulage, however, the main sectors that use this method of transport include agriculture and construction. Thanks to innovative heavy haulage trucks, you can transport your goods in one big move, rather than hiring several small vehicles for multiple journeys which can work out more expensive.

Heavy haulage trucks are ideal for transporting and handling heavy items that are large, bulky, or awkward to move. This applies to wide and long loads, large and small plant equipment, vehicles, containers, dangerous goods, sculptures, and more.

Here at JB Rawcliffe & Sons, we use our heavy haulage trucks to carry oversized products that are too big to fit on standard or large vehicles/transporters. Typical examples include:

• Aircraft parts
• Bungalows
• Cooling towers
• Generators
• Helicopters
• Industrial machines
• Turbines

Knowing what you need to haul, and sharing this information with our haulage experts, will allow us to help maximise your value for money. To find out what else our heavy haulage trucks can handle, call 01695 737 880, and we’ll happily guide and advise you.

The cost of heavy haulage in the UK varies depending on a number of factors, take the destination and speed of the delivery, for instance.

If you’re planning to send consignments either on the same day or overnight, you can expect to pay a premium as our heavy haulage trucks are already in demand, and the chances are you will need one sooner. The same can be said if you need to haul goods a long distance in order to cover fuel costs.

Contrary to popular belief, larger heavy haulage trucks don’t bump up the price too much and the rate per mile is similar to that for smaller trucks. However, the size and weight of the goods you need moving can be a major factor affecting the cost of heavy haulage in the UK.

When transporting complex freights or abnormal loads, you’ll need one of our bigger haulage trucks. These require a qualified driver and, although this will increase the price of heavy haulage, will ensure safety. Other factors that affect the price include ferry costs and toll charges.
