The company is a specialised road haulage and crane services provider based in the Western Lowlands of Scotland. Since its founding nearly two decade ago, the company has established itself as a regional leader in the lifting and transport sector.

At the core of its operations is its impressive GPS-tracked fleet, boasting one of the widest ranges of lorry-mounted cranes in Scotland. The fleet comprises vehicles ranging from 26-ton gross – 44-ton gross all fitted with lorry mounted cranes ranging from 26tm – 66tm. The company also specialises in abnormal load movements, with the team managing all necessary communications with police, road, and bridge authorities.

In a strained HGV labour market, their workforce is also a significant asset, comprising fully trained and highly experienced HGV drivers and crane operators led by the shareholders and a tenured manager.

Working on an ad hoc preferred supplier basis, they have cultivated a loyal client base across the construction and equipment hire sectors, with all 30 active clients engaging in regular repeat business. This high retention rate speaks to the company’s ability to meet and exceed client expectations consistently.

The company demonstrates robust financial performance with a 26% adjusted EBITDA margin. In FY2024, they generated revenues in excess of £1.1m with an adjusted EBITDA of £304,556.
