Long before GPS tracking, Euro 6 engines, and digital compliance dashboards became industry norms, Aardvark was already setting the standard in specialist transport—and this photo is proof.
Captured over a decade ago, the image shows one of our DAF STGO Cat 3 trucks handling an exceptional load: a large marine vessel, transported safely and securely by road. With the words “Aardvark Marine” proudly displayed on the trailer bed, this was more than just a job—it was part of our evolution into one of the South West’s most trusted names in specialist haulage.
Moving boats and marine equipment by road is a complex task requiring:
-
Route planning with height, width and weight considerations
-
On-road coordination and escort vehicles
-
Specialist trailers to accommodate hull shapes and weight distribution
-
Permits, pilot cars, and compliance with maritime and highway regulations
This early project reflects our long-standing capability in boat transport, oversized cargo movement, and abnormal load logistics. While the trucks have changed, the values remain the same—safe, strategic, and professional haulage.
Today, Aardvark continues to move a wide range of marine equipment for commercial and private clients, including:
-
Fishing boats
-
Pilot boats
-
RIBs and support vessels
-
Portside equipment
-
Docks and pontoons
