Our fleet<\/span><\/h4>\n

Here is an insight into the equipment we use here at Boat Transport Ltd. We have two trucks and a range of specialist \u00a0trailers for the larger boats, as well as a 4x4 for the smaller boats on trailers.All our vehicles are modern and well\u00a0equipped, as well as\u00a0environmentally\u00a0friendly - Euro 6 engines.We hope you enjoy reading about them below, as well as looking on the Gallery page<\/a><\/span> where you can see them in action past and\u00a0present.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Trucks<\/span><\/h4>\n

We have two modern Scania (Euro 6) Trucks. Each truck is fully equipped with flashing beacons for wide loads and Two-Way radios for communicating with Escort Vehicles both in the UK and overseas.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Escort Vehicle<\/span><\/h4>\n

An Escort or Safety Car, can be a necessity for Wide and Long\u00a0Loads.The purpose is to warn other road users of an impending\u00a0Oversize Load, to allow them to move over.<\/p>\n

The Escort Car communicates via a Two Way Radio with the truck\u00a0driver, to ensure a safe and steady journey. Often, we only need an\u00a0Escort for the \u201cdifficult\u201d sections of the trip.<\/p>\n

Specialist Low-Loader Boat Trailers<\/span><\/h4>\n

We have three extending low- loader boat trailers, each of which can accommodate boats up to 14.6m long 4.3m wide, and 20 tonnes. Each one is equipped with eight adjustable chocks for motor boats; and another set of eight yacht stands for those deep keeled yachts. It is these stands, that form an adjustable cradle around the hull.<\/p>\n

Each trailer is equipped with full air suspension and the latest generation trailer brakes, EBS - \u00a0uses both electric and air for quicker brake response!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/h5>\n

Our newest rear-wheel steering trailer below can load at just 20cm off the ground, ideal for \"trawler yacht\" style boats, as well as big flybridge cruisers. It is also very handy for those very long masts - up to 21m.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We also have a Sloper Flatbed with ramps and a winch; ideally suited for self loading Amphibious craft and Boats on customers own towbar trailers.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
All four of these trailers are complete with the correct wide load marker boards, as well as the flashing warning beacons.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
