Greyman 25,266 Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 Have sent a few emails but while I,m waiting for reply’s will see what the thl massive can come up with, I,ve seen a boat I like but it’s way up country and at this time of year and it’s size the only way of getting it were I want it is on a lorry, so was wondering if anyone is involved in the haulage business could give me a rough idea of getting a 50 x 11ft boat weighing around 25 ton from Nottingham to Gloucester or if anyone has used a company that moves big stuff they could recommend I call Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Worth talking to the right people as I would think that’s an oversize load and there would be all sorts of rules that laymen like me wouldn’t know about mate. If you need to move a 500 person office from lands end to John O Groats I can tell you, boats I’m not so up on ! Lol 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lol Funny enough kings have just opened a brand new yard next door to my warehouse, will pop in and ask them, it’s also the lifting on and off costs that add up, crane at each end, the last one I bought in Wales was 34ft long fibreglass and I picked it up with the hi ab on a 26ft long scrap truck had 10ft hanging over the end, Quite glad not to have seen plod on that journey would have probably made the news it looked mental 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLATTOP 3,667 Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 Hello Greyman I’ve got HGV 2 admittedly I haven’t used it for a while but I used to move 60 foot rails and my largest was a 67 foot metal rail crossing, 30foot on the bed and the rest Out the back and over the cab but you have to have triangles flashing lights and you have to inform the police and authorities of your route. Its definitely best left to the experts companies who move rail carriages and other such kit are a good shout doubt it will be cheap though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The cost is the thing as there is a bit of a difference in boat prices between north and south as per usual and I recon I can get the same up country for10/20k less than down south so if the transport is favourable I could make a little on my investment as well 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
