Bed Courier & Flatbed Delivery
Open-bed vans and rigids for long, awkward and oversized loads that do not fit a conventional box van.
When the load will not fit a box van
Bed courier work is about shape and access, not just weight. Steel sections, timber, ladders, plant and any load over 3 metres usually needs a flatbed rather than a curtainsider or Luton.
Our flatbed and dropside fleet is kitted out with ratchet straps, corner boards, edge protectors and rope hooks to secure loads properly for the journey.
