Moving heavy machinery isn’t just a logistical challenge—it’s a vital part of any construction project that can make or break your schedule. At Aardvark, we’ve built a reputation for delivering safe, reliable, and expertly managed heavy haulage services across Exeter, Devon, and the wider South West.
From diggers and dumpers to cabins and cranes, we know that every load matters. Whether you’re relocating a 22-ton excavator within the city or delivering a full set of plant to a remote site in Cornwall, our team handles it with precision, care, and timing you can rely on.
The Right Fleet for the Job
Our haulage division runs a modern fleet of low-loaders, flatbeds, and articulated lorries, maintained in-house and ready to roll when you are. With a strong track record supporting civil engineering firms, housebuilders, and infrastructure contractors, we’re the team to call when you need plant moved—quickly and professionally.
Planning Makes Perfect
Transporting heavy plant isn’t just about driving from A to B. Each job starts with planning.
We take into account:
-
Road restrictions and access routes
-
Load height, width, and weight regulations
-
Permit requirements and movement times
-
On-site delivery logistics and safety zones
We also liaise with site managers and local councils where necessary, making sure your delivery isn’t held up by red tape.
Fully Qualified, Fully Compliant
Every Aardvark driver is CPC-certified and trained in safe loading and unloading procedures. Our haulage operations are FORS Bronze-accredited, ensuring high standards in safety, environmental management, and road compliance.
We’re not just careful—we’re proactive. That means secure loads, proper sign-off, and communication throughout the journey.
Real-World Results
Take a recent infrastructure upgrade project near Taunton. We were tasked with delivering machinery to five separate sites within a tight 48-hour window. Using a rotating team of drivers and overnight shifts, we delivered every load on schedule—fully fuelled and ready to work. The main contractor praised our coordination and reliability, calling it “flawless execution under pressure.”
Why It Matters
When you’re managing a busy site, the last thing you need is delays or damaged equipment. With Aardvark, you get on-time delivery, safe handling, and a partner who understands your build programme. We’re here to keep things moving—literally.
