Transport – Site Support and Haulage
We have various modes of transport for conveying our plant, equipment and personnel here at Skelton Plant Hire. Within the fleet are LEZ compliant vehicles for inner London destinations. SPH hold a National Operators Licence with three operating centres throughout Kent, together with relevant insurance to transport equipment belonging to third parties.
The prime movers in our fleet are our 32 tonne GVW trucks. These are ridged trucks with custom built lightweight low profile Andover plant bodies and rear steer axels, a combination which enables our drivers to access roads and sites that would otherwise prove difficult for the traditional low loader; they make for extremely versatile and manoeuvrable vehicles. They are also equipped with 10 tonne winches and on-board refuelling for plant and fast operating ramps, ensuring we provide a slick delivery and collection service. These vehicles are capable of transporting a 15 tonne excavator complete with buckets, attachments and a fuel bowser, or indeed a mixture of smaller machinery for multi-drops to customer sites. This truck and body combination provides the flexibility of carrying heavy loads or multiple lighter machines to keep transport costs to a minimum. The trucks also feature rear air suspension, meaning that the body can be lowered to aid ease of loading and unloading plant and machinery and a hydraulic winch can also be attached for added safety. A separate fuel tank for refuelling plant is fitted to enable on site fuelling and facilitate site to site movements without having to return to the depot.
Lighter loads are transported on a 26 tonne GVW truck with similar specifications to its’ larger brothers. Smaller plant and short notice deliveries are accommodated with a 4x4 truck or van and trailer combination. Remote locations or narrow roads are well suited to this method.
All of our drivers are suitably qualified and all hold the relevant CPC accreditations. The company service engineers and plant operators are equipped with an appropriate vehicle to facilitate a reliable, punctual support service. We pride ourselves on providing a reliable and consistent product and service, ‘delivered right first time, on time’.
