Timber Haulage
We specialise in transporting round timber from forests to ports and sawmills using 6x2 and 6x4 vehicles with flat or crane-equipped trailers. Our military-grade 8-wheel-drive Mercedes Arocs handles extreme conditions, ensuring year-round reliability. Accredited by the Forestry Industry Safety Accord, we combine advanced equipment with over 25 years of expertise to move timber safely across challenging terrain.
Livestock Transport
With 40 years of experience, we operate three- and four-decker cattle floats for markets and processing plants in Argyll and central Scotland. Our smaller vehicles access remote farms, overcoming weight and terrain restrictions. We prioritise animal welfare and safety, using purpose-built equipment to ensure stress-free transport for cattle and sheep across difficult rural routes.

Our seven fish tankers collect harvested salmon from West Coast ports for processing, while four waste tankers handle by-products. We maintain strict hygiene standards and operate strategically located support vehicles to ensure timely deliveries.
