Short and long-term hire solutions for shunting tug fleets
We provide a flexible and cost-effective solution for shunting tug hire. We don’t believe in committing our customers to lengthy, cumbersome contracts; instead, we provide vehicles on both short and long-term agreements, depending on what is needed from the tug.
With a short notice period, you can be assured that you only need to operate the tug for the period you need it. Situations can change unexpectedly, especially in industries like haulage and logistics. Because of the flexible nature of our hire agreements, you can remain in control.
In addition, our technicians are on hand all-year round, should you ever need expert assistance in maintaining the vehicle. Learn more about our flexible shunting tug hire solutions by getting in touch.

Expertise delivered with quality customer service
We pride ourselves on our high standards and equally high levels of customer service. Not only do we maintain our fleet according to the best possible quality, but our technicians are committed to responding swiftly in the event of an unforeseen situation.
Our workshop holds a large stock of spare parts for both our own use and for sale to our customers. This, along with our nationwide network ensures that you will be able to access the parts you need in order to maintain efficiency.
Because we maintain our fleet ourselves, we hold ourselves accountable and you can be assured that the tug you use at your own facility has been cared for to strict protocols.

- Improved visibility
- No clutch burnout
- One-person operation
- Geared to a specific speed
- Faster coupling and uncoupling of trailers
