Plant and Heavy Haulage

Need to move heavy equipment?

If you work in an industry like building or construction, or in an industrial warehouse, then the chances are that you’ll be familiar with some type of plant machinery. The equipment known as ‘plant’ often forms the backbone for a huge variety of industrial activity, but its large and heavy nature means it can be difficult to transport the equipment from place to place. 

Luckily, there’s another industry that’s designed to do just that, and plant haulage ensures that companies can get the equipment they need, delivered safely and on time. Highway Logistics can cover all of your plant and heavy haulage needs, including transport on step frame and low-loader trailers.

The term refers to machinery, equipment or apparatus that’s used for industrial activity or projects. Construction usually refers to heavy machinery and equipment such as bulldozers or cherry pickers, but many different types of machine and equipment come under the term ‘plant’, including:

  • Excavators
  • Diggers
  • Cranes
  • Lorry loaders
  • Forklifts
  • Farm machinery
  • Sailing vessels

Which industries use plant?
