Service

Retractable trailer transport

Extendable trailers for cargo that will not sit on a standard deck — over-length, oversize and 45' units, with permits handled where the load calls for them.

When this is the right choice

  • You are moving 45' containers, which a standard skeletal cannot legally carry.
  • The load is over-length or over-width and needs an escorted or permitted run.
  • Project cargo needs to travel in one movement instead of three.
  • Dimensions are unusual enough that nobody will quote you over the phone.

What we need from you

  • Actual dimensions — length, width, height and weight. Not estimates.
  • Delivery site access details, including turning space and overhead clearance.
  • As much notice as you can give, because permits and any escort take lead time.
  • Photographs of the load if it is unusual. They answer more questions than a description.

The honest version

Oversize work is where the wrong operator costs you a week. We would rather turn a job down than accept one we cannot run legally, so send the real dimensions and we will tell you plainly whether it is a straightforward run, a permitted run, or something that needs a different piece of equipment altogether.

Best for: Oversize, over-length and project cargo, including 45' units.

Standard container in a standard configuration? A standard or side loader trailer will be cheaper.

Retractable Trailer

Extendable trailers built for long and oversize cargo that will not sit on a standard deck. Fewer trips, and permits handled where the load calls for them.
