01244 539300Road Haulage You Can Rely On
We have been moving freight across North Wales and the UK since 1989. Our flatbed and curtainsider fleet handles loads of every size, up to a full 26 pallet curtainsider. If it is safe to load, we can move it.
We run out of our Sandycroft yard on Deeside, minutes from the Welsh and Cheshire borders, so Wrexham, Chester, Flint and Mold are on the doorstep and the rest of the UK is a straight run from there. Our drivers are CPC qualified and ADR certified for dangerous goods, and every vehicle runs live tracking.
As a family business, you deal directly with the people running the operation. A straight answer, a fair price, and a driver who knows the job.

How We Work
No complicated back-and-forth. Tell us what you need and we handle the rest, from route planning to delivery.
Tell Us What You Need Moving
Call us or send an enquiry with the details, including what, where, and when. No job is too big or too awkward to discuss.
We Plan the Route & Logistics
We take care of permits, route surveys, and scheduling. Abnormal loads get the full planning treatment. Nothing is left to chance.
We Collect & Deliver on Time
Our experienced drivers collect and deliver to schedule. Every vehicle runs live tracking, and you get a direct line to the team, not a call centre, if you need an update.
What We Can Carry
A full artic takes up to 28 tonnes or 26 pallets on a 13.6 metre deck, which covers the vast majority of general haulage work. Curtainsiders open along the full length so a forklift can load from either side, and flatbeds give an open deck for anything placed by crane. Both run at 44 tonnes gross. Anything heavier or oversized goes on the low loader under STGO, where we handle the permits and notifications. Tell us the weight and dimensions and we will confirm which vehicle fits.

What Our Customers Say
Vehicles & Capacities
Flatbed and curtainsider vehicles between them cover most of what general haulage throws at us. If it is safe, it goes. Our drivers are CPC qualified and ADR certified for dangerous goods, and every vehicle is on live tracking.
- 44T GVW
- 28T payload (typical)
- 13.6m load length
- 26 pallets
Our curtainsiders are the workhorse of general haulage. The curtains pull back along the full length so the load goes on and off from either side, which keeps loading time down and means we are not waiting on a forklift working from one end. On a multi-drop run that matters, because each stop is quicker.
A full length curtainsider takes 26 standard pallets, and internal clearance varies between trailers, so tell us the height of your load and we will confirm which one fits. Loads are strapped and secured inside before the curtains close, and they stay protected from the weather for the whole run.
It suits palletised freight, packaged goods, mixed consignments and most general distribution work. If the load needs crane or forklift access from above, the flatbed is the better option.
- 44T GVW
- 28T payload (typical)
- 13.6m deck
- Crane and FLT access
An open deck with nothing in the way. The load goes on from the top, either side or the rear, so it suits anything placed by crane or forklift rather than driven on. That flexibility matters on site, where a curtainsider would mean working from one end and a flatbed means the forklift gets at the load from wherever there is room.
Steel, timber, containers, structural sections and machinery that will not fit under a curtain. Anything long, awkward or too tall for an enclosed trailer. We work out the securing method with you before the vehicle arrives.
No weather protection, so it is the right choice when the load does not need it. If the load needs to stay dry, the curtainsider is the better fit and we will tell you so.
