The Gravesend, Northfleet and Ebbsfleet corridor has been one of the most active parts of north Kent for years. With Ebbsfleet Garden City expanding plot by plot, the Thameside industrial estates ticking over, and infrastructure work continuing around the lower Thames crossing, we are in and out of this area regularly. A HIAB is the right answer when you need to move materials from a yard or merchant into a tight, busy new-build plot without tying up a separate crane and a separate delivery vehicle.
We work for builders, scaffolders, developers and merchants throughout the area. Typical Gravesend jobs include steel beam drops onto residential extensions in Riverview Park, Singlewell and Istead Rise, container placements on commercial sites along the Imperial Business Estate and around Northfleet, and roofing material lifts onto new builds at Ebbsfleet, Springhead Park and Castle Hill. The proximity to the A2 and the M25 makes Gravesend a quick run from our yard, so same-week bookings are usually easy to accommodate.
We also pick up a steady volume of residential work in the area — hot tubs, garden rooms, log cabins and home-office pods lifted over fences and side gates in Northfleet, Cobham, Meopham and the surrounding villages. If access is restricted, if the road is too narrow for a separate crane, or if the load is just too awkward to manhandle, a HIAB will almost always be the most practical option.
