Founded in 1952 by Jim Lawson on the family farm who began transporting local livestock and other agricultural products around Cumberland’s busy farming communities. Seven decades later we’re still family owned but now one of the UK’s most well-established specialist hauliers able to transport a huge range of products and materials for any of our clients.

Today, our fleet includes more than 50 trucks, 12 of which are equipped with Hiab-type lorry-mounted cranes. Our diverse range of trailers includes 45 ft flatbeds, steerable 130 ft extending trailers, low loaders, step frames, curtain siders, tipping trailers, and our uniquely designed in-house tilting trailers. Moffett Mounties and other specialised trailers are also available upon request.

What we can carry…

Maintenance & safety is our priority

All of our trucks are maintained at our in-house workshops to our long-established industry-plus standards. High levels of reliability means that your products are carried safely to their destination every time whether we’re moving your livestock or valuable machinery, we’re the expert haulage firm you need – call us today.
