Whilst heavy haulage is our headline business, general haulage is the cement that holds our work together. We’re well known for our heavy transport operations but general haulage is also one of the biggest services Chris Bennett have to offer. We’ve been providing transportation services since 1976 and with over 40 years of experience at our fingertips, we pride ourselves on being able to offer a knowledgeable and efficient delivery service throughout the UK.
Here at Chris Bennett (Heavy Haulage) Ltd, our diverse fleet of articulated vehicles allow us to provide general haulage services across a range of sectors including manufacturing, power & utilities and aerospace. With a modern mixed fleet of over 25 rigid and articulated vehicles dedicated to general haulage alone, we are able to adhere to all project quotes both effectively and efficiently. These vehicles include a range of rigid flat trailers from 1 to 15 tonne carrying capacity and a fleet of 40ft and 45ft articulated flatbed trailers with a carrying capacity of up to 28 tonnes. Having recently converted one of our 7.5 tonne gross flatbeds into a tautliner capable of carrying 3 tonnes, we have the capacity to carry out some of the more simple projects due to the side and rear access for loading.
As a specialist freight company in the aviation and aerospace industry, we also operate air ride curtain siders single / double decked trailers for the transportation or aircraft seats and engines.
With over 40 years of experience in the general haulage industry at Chris Bennett (Heavy Haulage) Ltd, we are able to draw on a wealth of knowledge and expertise when providing first class haulage services. With our fleet holding the FORS Silver accreditation we are committed to being one of the UK’s top providers in specialised general haulage.

Please send my thanks on to your delivery driver and escort for their help although I did make 4 cups of coffee something I don’t usually do!
I just wanted to email to express my gratitude for the fantastic service that you have provided us over the last couple of months, moving our loads from Ince to Sheffield. This has proven to be a smooth operation and your involvement has certainly enhanced the service, so again thank you.
