In 2014, the company acquired a 100 tonne crawler crane with a boom of 42 metres.[3]

In 2015 the company expanded its transport fleet with Euro-6 DAF XF tractor units to furnish its specialist logistics and general haulage operations. Trucks include three XF 510 FTG Super Space Cabs plated at 65-tonnes, two 44-tonne XF 460 FTG Space Cabs and an XF 460 FTR Space Cab with 47 tonne Hiab Crane.[4]

In 2016 the company purchased a Hyster reach stacker and developed a 1-acre area of its Millbrook site into a cargo handling yard.[5]

Locations

The company has offices in the Eastern Docks and Millbrook areas of Southampton, in Aberdeen and in Pembrokeshire.[6] Its office in Pembroke Port opened in 2004 as part of a joint venture with Milford Haven Port Authority.[7]
