7.5 to 18 Tonne Truck Haulage

For loads that outgrow a Luton van but don't need the scale of a full artic, our 7.5 to 18 tonne trucks provide serious capacity while remaining practical for urban and semi-urban delivery routes. This is the vehicle tier most businesses need for pallet volumes, bulk stock movement and demanding UK routes.

These trucks give you meaningful load capacity without the access restrictions that come with an artic lorry, making them a practical choice for sites and locations that can't accommodate a full-size trailer.

Serious Load Capacity

7.5 to 18 tonne range covers multi-pallet loads and bulk freight that exceeds Luton van capacity.

Practical Access

More manoeuvrable than an artic, suited to sites and routes with tighter access.

UK Wide Haulage

Built for demanding long-distance routes as well as regional and contract haulage work.
