General Haulage Transport of single items of machinery or plant up to 44 tonnes gross

Ivor King transports machinery, plant and equipment using its own fleet of general haulage vehicles and trailers. The team reviews the load’s weight, dimensions and handling needs before selecting suitable transport. If an item is particularly heavy or oversized, Ivor King can assess whether its specialist heavy haulage and abnormal-load service is needed instead.

Yes. Ivor King operates across the UK from its Midlands base, close to the M1, M5, M6, M42 and M69 motorway networks. Provide the collection and delivery locations, preferred dates and any time restrictions when enquiring. The transport team can then check vehicle availability and plan the journey around your requirements.

Site access needs to be checked before transport is arranged. Tell the team about narrow entrances, tight turns, overhead restrictions and the space available for the vehicle and trailer. Photographs and a site plan can help explain the constraints. Loading and unloading areas also need to be considered so that the proposed vehicle can reach and use them safely.

Ivor King’s CPCS-trained drivers follow loading and unloading procedures and the agreed method statements for the job. Its flatbed trailers are equipped with edge protection incorporating a fall prevention system. Confirm in advance whether machinery can move under its own power, what lifting equipment is available and who will carry out each part of the loading or unloading operation.

Ivor King uses vehicle tracking through Verizon Connect to monitor its transport operation and support proof of delivery. This gives the transport team information to help respond to delivery enquiries. If you need progress updates, a particular delivery window or specific proof-of-delivery arrangements, discuss these when booking so the requirements can be agreed.

Provide the collection and delivery addresses, preferred dates, and the item’s accurate weight, length, width and height. Include photographs where useful, along with any access restrictions, loading and unloading arrangements, and site opening hours. These details help the team select a suitable vehicle, plan the movement and prepare a quote for your transport requirements.
