Due to unforeseen circumstances and our previous wagon involved in a terrible road traffic accident in November which resulted in our wagon being written off but more importantly our driver (Ian) walking away physically unscathed and ok, we are delighted to announce we have Ian and our new wagon back out on the road from today.
Having our own wagon enables us to give our customers priority, flexibility and personalable deliveries and collections at fair and reasonable costs.

A nice end to the week where a highly valued and local customer took delivery of their new Combilift CBE4000, 4.0-ton capacity, electric powered 4-way truck to handle their long lengths of steel on site and at the same time reduce their aisle widths instead of operating conventional counterbalance trucks. The customer is delighted with their new addition to their fleet which will increase their productivity and storage space. Thank you for your continued business and support.
