Why Choose UK Lift and Haul?

Our Experience Spans Decades

We have been in the haulage and transport industry since 2004, operating four depots nationwide, starting in Essex and expanding to Birmingham, Leeds, and Liverpool. For 20 years, our HIAB trucks, side loaders, and other vehicles have dominated construction sites across the UK, with our fully certified crane operators and drivers ensuring the safe and efficient handling of all kinds of loads.

For two decades, we have been trusted by a customer base that includes freight forwarders, civil engineers, construction companies, manufacturers, and film production companies. This trust is based on reliability and foolproof dedication to our mission.

Comprehensive Fleet of Trucks and Vehicles

We specialise in HIAB hires with our specialist fleet of HIAB vehicles, side-loading trucks, loft lifters, Moffetts, flatbeds, and more. All our vehicles are fitted with GPS tracking, and our professional crane operators and drivers are equipped with real-time communication to guarantee effective contact with each other and with our clients for error-free results.

Side Loaders – Shipping Container Lifting

Our fleet of side loaders is perfect for moving empty and loaded ISO shipping containers for sites that require the containers to be lowered to ground level for loading and unloading purposes. They remove the need for a site to have a container ramp or loading bay to load or offload a container while it remains on the trailer bed.

Side loaders can move anything containerised – such as containerised generators – as long as the container has ISO corner castings. Our side loader fleet covers all UK ports, and having depots spread across the country enables us to keep our prices very competitive.

HIAB hire

HIAB is short for Hydrauliska Industri AB and is a hydraulic crane mounted on a lorry. It’s ideal for lifting and transporting heavy loads like containers, building materials, tractor units, vehicles, and more. The main benefit of HIAB crane lorries is that no separate mobile crane is needed, as they act as a two-in-one vehicle. The precise lifting capabilities, coupled with the power and mobility of a truck, make for a very versatile and essential worksite machine.

Our Accreditation Guarantees

UK Lift and Haul has had the honour of being a member of several organisations such as CPA, the leading trade association for crane, construction, plant and equipment. We have also joined FORS, going from bronze to silver to gold certification. In 2018, we became a member of ALLMI, further advancing our expertise in the HIAB industry. Lastly, we joined RHA in 2009 and became a CLOCS champion.

Our Commitment to Safety

We understand how the haulage and lifting industry can be dangerous, so our vision focuses on safety and security. All our vehicles are maintained regularly, with rigorous inspections that meet the highest safety standards. Our vehicles include the highest level of safety features such as four-way CCTV cameras fitted to both the front and rear of the vehicle, cyclist and pedestrian sensors, automatic braking systems, and lane control systems.

Our operators are strictly trained in essential safety measures to protect the load, project site, and themselves. We take our Health and Safety Policy very seriously so you can rest easy knowing your project is in the right hands.
