When a critical piece of equipment goes down in the middle of the night, "we’ll look at it tomorrow" just isn't in our vocabulary. Downtime for a major fleet means delayed deliveries and disrupted supply chains.

So, when the call came in during the early hours, we laced up our boots and hit the road - undertaking a 5-hour round trip to get the job done

A few hours of driving and a quick, expert fix later, the Moffett was powered back up, and the Pets UK lorry was back on track.
It’s not just about fixing machinery; it’s about being the reliable partner our clients can trust to keep them moving, no matter the hour, no matter the distance.

Massive credit to the team for the dedication to the midnight shift!

Precision, safety, and timing were everything on this project, and our team absolutely nailed it.

The Breakdown:

The Mission: Safely remove the worn outer boom and align/install the new one

The Challenge: Handling heavy, large-scale structural components while maintaining a strict timeline to keep the fleet moving.

The Result: Perfect alignment, and another transport vehicle ready to safely hit the road.

Hiab just shook up the mid-market hooklift segment, and it's a massive win for fleet efficiency.

They’ve officially launched the all-new MULTILIFT Optima range, doubling their 20- and 25-tonne capacity solutions.

The standout feature for me? The EvoLight steel construction. By stripping away dead weight without sacrificing legendary MULTILIFT durability, they’ve unlocked significantly higher payload capacities.

In an industry where every extra tonne per trip adds up, this translates directly to:

✅ Lower operating costs
✅ Reduced fuel consumption
✅ Fewer emissions per transported tonne

They’ve also introduced the next-gen Z-Type models, which seamlessly combine sliding and tilting movements. This gives operators a much lower loading angle and minimized lifting height—perfect for tight or low-clearance job sites.

Add in an intuitive new in-cab keypad controller, and operator safety and speed get a major upgrade too.

From waste and recycling to heavy construction, it's great to see smart engineering lowering costs while driving sustainability.

Maintenance without compromise: 90% of hydraulic failures are caused by contamination.
