Where a truck can't go


Where a truck can't go Our Luton's can :
Weight restricted area ?  no problem they are a 3.5 gwt so they can go most places (there is the odd 3 ton limit bridge but no commercial truck/van can tread there)
Narrow road @ 6 foot 8 apx wide they can fit down most roads ( evn roads a 7 1/2 ton truck can't )
Low bridge : Even our tallest luton is only 11 foot 2 inches tall can fit under nearly any bridge like a 12 foot tall bridge in Selby near the river (railway bridge )

1200 cubic feet joint capacity

# Our Two vans between them have over 1200 cubic feet and can fit where the bigger 7 1/2 tonne can't but between them they can still do the work

1200 cubic feet = 
 ( a 7 and half ton truck) (disclaimer we don't have a 7 1/2 ton truck in the fleet this is for illustration only )
Some times these bigger trucks can't get down the street for numerous reason which is why even though we only have Luton's the are ideal when working together for move of up to 1200 cubic feet they can get in place the bigger truck can't and have between them over 1200 cubic feet 

These two are in the fleet

The M62 Corridor (logistics)

Been a Hull based transport provider means we travel along the M62 corridor quite often.
Why does that matter ?
For the following:

  1. The M62 intercepts all the major North/South roads in the UK( A1 M6 M1 ) (Connected) 
  2. Along it you have Leeds ( less than 1 hour from our base ) 
  3. The UK's 3rd city Manchester (about 2 hours from our base )
  4. At it's end the Port of Liverpool 
  5. Also at it's end ferries to Ireland (apx  2 and half hours from base ) 
  6. The North west is within easy reach for us 
As you can see been along the M62 corridor ( At the end with the Port of Hull and soon green port Hull ) Means we are in easy reach of the entire UK and Ireland and Even via the Port of Hull mainland Europe 


Talking of getting along the M62 corridor we offer nationwide coverage and get away from the M62 corridor as well
