paulyana Posted April 23, 2016 Author Share Posted April 23, 2016 Hi Alan, Unfortunately we don't have hiab or lifting facilities. We run an artic with a 13.6m boat trailer: Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawsOrca Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Hi Paul, Shame you didn't post that a few weeks.. I've needed to transport two boats recently. If I had a special NBN rate you would have been top of the list. Alan.. I highly recommend both for hiabs: http://schiabcrane.co.uk/ or http://gmronline.co.uk/.

Alan I have seen boats that have been seriously injured by inexperienced operators using hi abs without spreaders to prevent the boat being nipped. Shifting boats needs an experienced, suitably equipped contractor, in my honest and sincere opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that you're operating a goods vehicle governed by the legislation relevant to operators licences etc, and what that entails is hard enough. To be able to transport boats safely and remain within the law takes more than most people can imagine. The equipment needs to be specialised and specific for boats. All too often a 6 or 8 wheeled rigid that's fitted with a hiab suddenly becomes a solution to everyone's problems. Think about it though, the boat sits on a flatbed several feet above ground level, thus raising the centre of gravity. These vehicles where designed to carry machinery and such like, not boats. Whereas a bespoke boat trailer where the boat sits low down into the trailer supported along the keel and supported with adjustable supports to suit all types of hulls can only carry boats. As a professional boat haulier our equipment is specifically designed to carry boats so that's what we do. We're not a general haulier who will carry anything, including boats, if we can get away with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockham Admiral Posted April 24, 2016 Share Posted April 24, 2016 Alan, Hi. I think that Peter was talking about the loading of the boats onto the trailer; not the boat transporters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulyana Posted April 24, 2016 Author Share Posted April 24, 2016 On our operators licence which is issued by the UK Traffic Commissioner, it states that we are a professional operator. For a more personal reference though, we share a yard with Kingsley Farrington, so I'm sure he could confirm our integrity. We will always try to assist with all enquiries and if we are unable to facilitate, we try to find an alternative solution for the customer. We will certainly offer any NBN member a first class, professional and competitive service. Thanks, Paul 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
