Tail-lift deliveries
A tail-lift is a hydraulic platform on the back of the truck that lowers pallets to the ground, where they can be moved with a pallet jack. It is ideal for shops, homes, offices and job sites without a forklift.
Express and dedicated runs
For urgent or time-critical freight we can arrange a dedicated vehicle that goes straight from pickup to delivery. Availability depends on the day — call or WhatsApp us for the fastest answer.
