Build variants
Each variant is fabricated to order. Start from the closest one and change what you need in the configurator.
Twin-axle beaver-tail
Mini diggers, dumpers and telehandler attachments moved between yard and site.
Tri-axle beaver-tail
Heavier machines and longer decks where the weight needs a third axle under it.
Hydraulic ramp build
Ramps raised and lowered from the machine so one operator can load alone.
Timber deck build
Timber deck where tracked machines are loaded daily and grip matters.

Before you order
Questions the team gets asked
If yours isn't here, message the workshop — you'll get a straight answer rather than a brochure.
- What weight of machine will it carry?
- Capacity follows the axles and chassis specified, so no figure is published in advance. Tell the team the heaviest machine you load and the rating is built and confirmed around it.
- Can one person load with the hydraulic ramps?
- That is the point of them — the ramps are raised and lowered from the machine rather than lifted by hand.
- What is the lead time?
- Every unit is fabricated to order, so the build slot and delivery date are confirmed in writing with your quotation rather than advertised as a fixed figure.
- Do you deliver?
- Delivery across Northern Ireland, the Republic and mainland UK is arranged on request, or you are welcome to collect from the Banbridge workshop.
