Long load strapped and marked on flatbed

Long Load Delivery

Pipework, steelwork, timber and pre-fabricated lengths delivered on extending flatbeds up to 12 metres.

Driver securing a long load on flatbed

Built for loads that overhang a standard bed

Any load over roughly 6 metres enters long-load territory. Our trombone flatbeds extend to 12 metres and our drivers are trained on long-load marking, overhang rules and projection limits.

Where the load requires abnormal-load notification, we handle the paperwork and escort coordination.
