Why HIAB Trucks Are The Best Option For Abnormal Loads

When we think of haulage and goods transportation, the image we create for ourselves is often that of a HGV hauling a container or standard flatbed truck with goods strapped to it.

Phelan Haulage continued the specialist transport and installation of these tall telecoms masts this week, this time near Glasgow, using the Scania member of our fleet.
