Road Transport
Innovation
From trialling and adopting the latest vehicles designs and technologies, to delivering industry leading driver training programmes and playing an active role in educating local communities, safety and sustainability are at the heart of our operations.
Partnership
Working closely with vehicle manufacturers, we were the first to trial the Mercedes Benz Econic mixer design with enhanced field of vision and low entry cab. First EV mixer working with manufacturer Renault and TVS with helping to reduce risk of turnover through vehicle design. Collaborations include a research and development partnership with Nottingham Trent University, looking at innovative technologies to enhance safety for vulnerable road users.
Community
An ongoing community engagement programme has seen us deliver hundreds of road safety sessions in schools up and down the country, raising awareness of the importance of safety awareness of trucks. As a logistics team we are also supporting Transaid which is an international development organisation that transforms lives through safe, available and sustainable transport.
Flexibility
The scale and agility of our fleet and our internal expertise means we are able to provide the right planning and vehicles for projects of all sizes. We work collaboratively with our rail team to deliver materials in the optimum way.
Fleet and Technology
Our moving floor vehicles offer both improved safety and environmental performance with their ability to offload material safely under overhead obstruction and restricted environments. With an increased carrying capacity compared to rigid trucks, using these vehicles results in fewer vehicles movements on a project, offering an improved carbon footprint.

The concrete mixing transport truck maintains the material's liquid state through agitation, or turning of the drum, until delivery. These trucks have an interior turbine that pushes the mixed concrete up against gravity inside the drum. The interior of the drum on a concrete mixing truck is fitted with a spiral blade.
