Flatbed Transport in Kent

Flatbed transport is the workhorse end of haulage. There is no fancy unloading mechanism, no closed body to worry about dimensions inside — just a flat, open load bed that you can forklift onto, crane onto, drive onto, or lift onto by hand if the load is small enough. For builders, fabricators, plant hire companies and merchants across Kent, a booked flatbed is the simplest way to move materials that would not fit inside a standard van and do not need a closed body.

Typical flatbed work includes steel sections and fabrications going from a steelyard to a builders' site, scaffolding bundles moving between contracts, tracked plant being recovered after a job has finished, palletised bricks and blocks dropping off at multiple plots, and the kind of long, awkward, oversized loads that simply will not go into a curtain-sider. Where the destination has a forklift or telehandler, we drive on and they unload. Where it does not, the same vehicle is fitted with a lorry-mounted crane so we can unload ourselves — you do not have to book a separate crane.

We cover Kent, the South East and the home counties as standard, with longer-distance bookings handled on request. All loads are properly strapped, sheeted where required and within the legal width and height limits — overhanging oversized loads are handled under our specialist transport service rather than as a standard flatbed run. As with every vehicle we operate, drivers are trained, certified and fully insured. You get a fixed quote, a confirmed delivery window and a single point of contact for the job.

If you are unsure whether your load is a flatbed job or a specialist transport job, send us the dimensions, the weight and a photo. We will tell you straight away which service fits and what it will cost.
