Hiab hire and haulage in Tiverton
Tiverton sits in the Exe valley in the middle of Devon, with the M5 at junction 27 a few miles to the east and the North Devon Link Road starting there. That junction makes it one of the better-connected towns in the county.
It is a mill town by history and still has real manufacturing, alongside the farming that surrounds it.
Access
Motorway close, valley roads less so
Junction 27 and the Link Road put Tiverton within easy reach from the east, and the industrial areas on the edge of town have proper commercial access.
The town centre is older and narrower, particularly around the bridge and the streets climbing away from the river.
The Exe valley roads north and the lanes out into mid Devon are the usual high-hedged single-track affair, and they are where the crane earns its keep.
The work
Manufacturing, farming and the motorway corridor
The manufacturing base here produces palletised and awkward loads that need lifting at one or both ends, and there is steady trade movement through the town because of the junction.
Beyond that it is mid Devon farming: machinery, containers and equipment onto holdings down lanes that a rigid flatbed would struggle with.
- Machinery and palletised loads from local manufacturers
- Farm equipment and containers across mid Devon
- Deliveries around the town's industrial areas
- Loads collected at junction 27 for delivery west
- Steel and materials into building and conversion work
The lorry
What turns up in Tiverton
One vehicle: a 30TM HMF hiab with 10 metres of reach on a cheesewedge body, carrying up to 10 tons. It brings the load and lifts it into place, so there is no second machine to arrange and nobody waiting about at either end.
Questions
Common questions about Tiverton
- Do you collect from the M5 corridor?
- Yes. Junction 27 is a convenient point to pick up a load coming down from elsewhere in the country and run it into Devon or Cornwall from there.
- How far into mid Devon do you go?
- As far as needed — the Exe valley, the lanes north towards Exmoor, and across to Cullompton and Crediton. It is all a normal day's work.
