So, if you are unsure as to whether you require articulated or rigid lorry hire to carry out a certain task in the Maidstone area, this page will help you find the answer.
When it comes to lorries, there are 3 main types. Rigid, articulated or rigid in combination, which is a rigid lorry with a trailer attached. The kind of lorry that you require will depend on the size, weight and even the length of the load you are planning to transport.

Some examples of the different loads or types of lorries include:
If you have a small boat in the Maidstone area, you can probably transport it around in a trailer fixed to the back of your car. However, you may require Hiab lorry hire to load and transport larger boats. After all, we use this method for portable cabin relocations. The lorry mounted crane operatives at our haulage company handle the loading and unloading of boats, in a safe and responsible manner. You could also use a low loader truck
Using a flatbed truck is a popular type of rigid lorry hire that enables our Maidstone customers to carry large items like concrete columns, steel girders and wooden beams. Whatever the load may be, we always fasten it securely, lashing or blocking it to prevent shifting whilst in transit. This ensures the safety of other drivers on the road, whilst reducing the risk of damaging your goods
As a haulage company offering Hiab lorry hire, we find this type of vehicle extremely useful for a wide range of tasks. Whether carrying out portable cabin relocations or moving heavy pallets of building materials, customers in Maidstone rely on our lorry mounted cranes for all sorts of jobs
These trucks are a very common mode of transport for a wide range of goods. This is because the side opens up like a curtain, enabling you to load pallets or crates from the side. If you are loading heavy pallets, usually a forklift truck is all you need, rather than something like Hiab lorry hire. These trucks are available either as articulated or rigid lorry hire. Although they are less secure than a solid container, they offer greater flexibility. Furthermore, you can promote your haulage company by printing logos on the side
We have all seen these on the roads around Maidstone, carrying countless cars from one location to another. Although they take time to load and secure, they are the most efficient way to transport new car models by road
Whatever your transportation and logistics needs may be, if you’re looking to move things by road, then our haulage company is all you need.
Offering both Hiab and rigid lorry hire, lorry mounted cranes and portable cabin relocation, there’s no job too big or complex for BR Saunders Transport Ltd to handle.
