From the archives 📸

Not every load fits neatly onto a pallet.

A throwback to transporting structural steel — another example of the varied loads our team has handled over the years.

From everyday palletised freight to larger and more unusual loads, experience makes all the difference when it comes to getting goods safely from A to B.

Keeping the pallet network moving. 🚛📦

A snapshot of Pallet-Track deliveries carried out working with Gemini Freight Management — a valued long-standing client we work closely with.

From collections and deliveries to getting pallets safely offloaded at their destination, it's all part of keeping freight moving through the network.

Great to work alongside the Gemini Freight team and keep those deliveries moving.

ON SITE AT IPSWICH TOWN FC 🚛⚽
HIAB • STEEL ER****ON

250 beams. One major project. 🏗️

A look back at our team on site at Ipswich Town FC, supporting the er****on works with our HIAB.

From the first lifts through to the final beam being positioned, our HIAB provided the lifting capability needed to get the steelwork safely into place across the project.

The final photo marked a pretty satisfying milestone — the last of 250 beams in. ✅

Another great example of the kind of specialist lifting and transport work our team can support on site.

What exactly is a HIAB – and when would you need one?

A HIAB combines transport and lifting in one vehicle, making it an efficient solution for delivering and positioning heavy or awkward loads without the need for a separate crane.

From steelwork and site cabins to machinery and construction materials, HIABs are used across a wide range of commercial, industrial and construction projects.

Swipe through to learn more about what a HIAB is, what it can lift, and why it's often the most practical choice for your next project.
