We’ve just finished moving the last abnormal loads of the year, and what a way to close it out.

🔹 Our Scania R730 successfully transported an 85-tonne Multidocker 900
🔹 Our Scania R620 handled the impressive Gippo 1490

Both loads were moved on our Faymonville CombiMAX, configured 3 x 5, delivering the stability and precision required for moves of this scale.

A huge well done to the team for another safe, efficient, and professional operation. We’re proud of the work done this year and look forward to what’s ahead! 💪

🎄 Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from all of us! 🎉

The Smiths Heavy Haulage team successfully completed the transport of two 6.6-metre-high vessels — Engineered and built by our friends at Vessco Engineering Ltd — delivering them safely to Barry Docks.

Due to the exceptional height of these abnormal loads, this project required meticulous planning and close coordination with several key partners. We were proud to work alongside:
👮 South Wales Police – providing expert es**rt support,
⚡ National Grid and BT Openreach – managing and lifting overhead cables, and
🏛️ The Vale of Glamorgan Council – assisting with the removal of street furniture along the route.

To avoid low bridges, the convoy was carefully diverted through Cowbridge High Street, where our experienced drivers and es**rt teams demonstrated precision and professionalism every step of the way.

The vessels will now continue their journey from Barry Docks to Antwerp, Belgium — marking another successful milestone in a complex international logistics operation.

A huge thank you to everyone involved in bringing this move together — a true example of teamwork, expertise, and planning in action! 💪

This morning, our team successfully loaded two large vessels — each standing at an impressive 6.6 metres high — onto our Scania trucks, ready for onward transport to Barry Docks.

Moves of this scale require detailed planning, coordination, and expertise, and we’re proud to deliver safely and efficiently every time.

A great effort by everyone involved in making today’s operation run seamlessly.
