We have a diverse vehicle base, offering an assortment of wagons with varying capacities and solutions to our customers specific requirements.

An integral part of our fleet profile are the efficient Non Tipping Trailer range of vehicles, which provide our customers the larger capacity of articulated wagons but with the extra safety of a none tipping trailor technology . These vehicles allow the added flexibility to our customers of being able to extract their material within tight overhead situations.

Supply chain management

Our Supply chain management model also enables us to review our medium term demands on a monthly basis, which focuses on a time horizon of 3 months but has the visibility of the next 12 months ahead. The supply chain plan contains forecast sales, aggregate production plans and fleet modelling ensuring that our fleet capability can supply the demand requirements. Adequate vehicles are allocated and monitored to ensure all replenishment plans are fulfilled and stock levels can be monitored to ensure service levels are maintained.

Contract hauliers

All of our Contract hauliers have completed a VRU DCPC course and received MPQC Driver Skills training. All drivers whether employees, contract hauliers or hire drivers have undergone an induction covering safety information and are all trained to the same high standard. Since 2012 we have ensured that all new vehicles in our HGV fleet are fitted with cycle-safe technology. We aim to retrofit all vehicles less than eight years old with cycle-safe technology.
