Tail-lift lorry

A tail lift lorry is used for delivers nationally. The vehicles can come in various sizes. This type of delivery will require a flat and hard standing area in order to offload.The process involves wheeling a hand pump cart under the pallet and hand pushing the pallet on to the tail lift, this is then lowered and wheeled onto the ground. If access is an issue at your property please make sure we are aware so we can request a smaller vehicle.

As ever, we wish to keep all of our customers happy, so please provide as much information as possible about access to your property or site, to ensure we can provide your order in the smoothest way possible.
