  • 44T GVW
  • 28T Payload
  • 13.6m Load Length
  • 26 Pallets

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 working from one end. 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. The curtains close to keep everything protected on the run.

  • 44T GVW
  • 28T Payload
  • 13.6m Deck
  • Crane & 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. On site that flexibility matters, because the forklift can get at the load from wherever there is room.

Steel, timber, containers, structural sections and machinery that will not fit under a curtain. Loads are strapped and secured to the deck rather than contained by the sides. No weather protection, so if the load needs to stay dry the curtainsider is the better fit and we will tell you so.

  • 3-Axle
  • 13.6m Deck
  • Hydraulic Ramps
  • STGO Rated, Rear Steer

For construction plant and machinery. The low neck and hydraulic loading ramps mean tracked and wheeled plant drives straight on rather than needing a crane. STGO rated with rear steer for heavy and oversize moves. We also run step extenders that take the deck out to 19.6 metres for longer items such as beams and structural steel.

  • 32,000kg GVW
  • Payload up to 11,500kg
  • 9,850kg at 5.95m
  • 2,715kg at 18.55m

Crane mounted lorry that loads and places its own cargo with no equipment needed at either end. Lifts up to 9,850kg at 5.95 metres, easing off as the crane extends. Remote control operated, LOLER tested with certificates on request. Payload depends on the crane fitted.

  • Rigid plus drawbar
  • Extended load space
  • Multiple drops per run
  • Full crane offload

The rigid HIAB paired with a drawbar trailer for more deck space and multiple drops on a single run, with the crane handling offload at each stop.

  • Private escort
  • Own fleet
  • Beacons and signage
  • Travels with the load

Our own escort vehicle for abnormal and oversize moves, equipped with amber beacons and wide load signage, running ahead of the load to warn other road users.

What Our Customers Say

Excellent service, nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommended 👌

Used RN Roberts to transport plant machinery from our site in Wrexham to a job in Manchester. Excellent communication throughout, arrived on time and everything handled with care. Would absolutely use again.

Third time hiring a low loader from them. Every time the trailer is immaculate, the price is fair and they're easy to deal with. Family business feel. You're not just a number.

Needed an abnormal load moved at short notice. Llion sorted it out same day, permits and all. Genuinely impressive service from a professional outfit.

Reliable, professional and honest. Been using RN Roberts for general haulage for our construction business for years. Never let us down once.

Hired a curtainside trailer for three weeks. Good condition, competitive price, and it was collected and dropped off without any fuss. Exactly what you want from a hire company.
