HIAB Hire
Need HIAB lifting?
Our experienced crane operatives can lift and haul a variety of heavy objects, using our long reach and heavy load HIAB lorry loaders. We also offer crane hire on site as well as contract lifting services, including an appointed person.
Containers + Freight
Need to move a container?
Highway Logistics can safely transport a container for you, with or without the use of a HIAB crane. A standard container truck with a skeletal trailer will move your container for you, if you have your own lifting. Alternatively, a HIAB crane equipped vehicle is used to deliver and lift off your container. We also offer shipping container import and export along with freight forwarding management.
Flatbed Haulage
Flatbed Load Haulage
Flatbed Haulage is ideal for loads that exceed the width of enclosed transport vehicles such as boats, infrastructure or building equipment. With a variety of sizes available we match the capacity and expense to the size of the load to be carried, ensuring that the vehicle we use is perfectly suited to the task at hand.

Plant and Heavy Haulage

The equipment known as ‘plant’ often forms the backbone for a huge variety of industrial activity, but its large and heavy nature means it can be difficult to transport the equipment from place to place. We’ve got plant haulage and heavy haulage covered.

As well as general haulage, our heavy haulage vehicles are suitable for a wide range of abnormal load movements and out-of-gauge transport requirements. Highway Logistics can undertake and arrange all types and sizes of specialist haulage work, from simple, in gauge, one-off moves, to larger more complex multiple vehicle abnormal loads and heavy haulage project moves.
