CARTER'S LIFT & SHIFT

Carter’s haulage fleet works in conjunction with our plant hire department in Devon, Cornwall and Somerset. We have access to large tractor units with specialist trailers to carry heavy plant and crane ballasts using tri-axle trailers with electronically operated ramps.

For smaller haulage jobs we can offer a specialist small heavy goods truck ideal for small building works and for unloading bigger vehicles where site access is difficult. This is often a more economic option for smaller items such as hot tubs or where the lift is relatively low.

  • Rear-mounted knuckle boom lorry loader/crane

  • 8.5m high operating envelope and 6m over-the-side radius

  • Carries up to 3.25 tonne with deck space of 9m2

  • Optional trailer with 3.5 tonne capacity and maximum load mass of 10.5 tonnes

  • Variety of specialist lifting gear

  • Part-day hire – 4 or 8 hourly

  • CPA Standard or Contract Lifting terms and conditions available
