Another successful heavy haulage operation completed in Swansea! 💪🚛

Our team safely transported three oversized modules through a complex road network using our three heavy haulage trucks. Each module measured an impressive 8.5 metres wide and weighed approximately 50 tonnes, making this a challenging move that required detailed planning and precise ex*****on.

A big thank you to South Wales Police and the two es**rt vehicles that assisted throughout the operation, helping to ensure the convoy moved safely and efficiently.

Well done to everyone involved for another professional and successful project delivered. 👏
