There is more to general haulage than moving loads from A to B and ensuring they arrive safely. It’s about managing the whole thing – start to finish – and perfectly executing the logistics.

With 45 years of experience to our name, JB Rawcliffe are experts in heavy haulage. We are fully aware that heavy loads require additional safety measures and, it’s for this reason that we take all the necessary precautions and regularly liaise with our clients to ensure maximum safety and efficiency.

We take care of every aspect of heavy haulage, from identifying the best heavy haulage truck to planning a suitable route and organising permits and escorts. This way you can concentrate on what happens when the equipment is delivered to your site.

Before we do anything, we carefully plan and analyse your requirements, as well as any potential challenges. After this, we select the most suitable specialist vehicle to ensure loads are transported safely. Our experts will then ensure they load safely to prevent heavy goods from falling off during transit and deliver them to the right place, at the right time.

So, if a prompt – but above all safe – transportation service is what you’re after, make JB Rawcliffe your first choice.

Almost any industry can benefit from heavy haulage, however, the main sectors that use this method of transport include agriculture and construction. Thanks to our innovative trucks, you can transport your goods in one big move, rather than hiring several small vehicles for multiple journeys which can work out more expensive.

Heavy haulage trucks are ideal for transporting and handling heavy-lift items that are large, bulky, or awkward to move. This applies to wide and long loads, large and small plant equipment, vehicles, containers, dangerous goods, sculptures, and more.

Here at JB Rawcliffe & Sons, we use our heavy haulage trucks to carry oversized products that are too big to fit on standard or large vehicles/transporters. Typical examples include:

• Aircraft parts
• Bungalows
• Cooling towers
• Generators
• Helicopters
• Industrial machines
• Turbines

Knowing what you need to haul, and sharing this information with our haulage experts, will allow us to help maximise your value for money. To find out what else we can handle, call 01695 737 880, and we’ll happily guide and advise you.

Heavy haulage trucks can be seen on the UK infrastructure every day, whether it’s transporting essential items, large and heavy industrial units, or sometimes even porta cabin homes!

There’s no denying that they play a huge part in logistics and freight forwarding – but no two projects are identical, so you must consider the full range of heavy haulage trucks available and choose the right one for you.

All our heavy haulage trucks at JB Rawcliffe are well-maintained and easy to adapt to suit your bespoke requirements. These include:

• Bogies
• Low loaders
• Platform trailers
• Prime movers
• Self-propelled modular transporters (SPMTs)
• Semi-low loaders

With so many different configurations and types of heavy haulage trucks to choose from, knowing which to go for can be easier said than done. That’s why our specialist team are always on hand, ready to advise on the best one for the load you need moving.

The cost of transport consulting for heavy loads in the UK depends on several factors, like the destination and speed of the delivery.

If you’re planning to send consignments either on the same day or overnight, you can expect to pay a premium as our trucks are already in demand, and the chances are you will need one sooner. The same can be said if you need to haul goods a long distance, as you’ll need to cover fuel costs.

Contrary to popular belief, larger heavy haulage trucks don’t bump up the price too much and the rate per mile is similar to that for smaller trucks. However, the size and weight of the goods you need to move can be a major factor affecting the cost of haulage.

When transporting complex freights or abnormal loads, you’ll need one of our bigger haulage trucks. These require a qualified driver and, although this will increase the price, will ensure safety. Other factors that affect the price include ferry costs and toll charges.
