Heavy Haulage & Crane Transport


At Nick Sampson, we have a modern and versatile fleet to serve a wide range of crane haulage and other heavy haulage transportation requirements. What is heavy haulage used for, you may ask? Simply put, it’s the use of large transportation vehicles to move other vehicles, boats, machinery and other large (or large amounts of) goods from one place to another. Beginning with the purchase of an HIAB-equipped truck in 1996 to meet on-site demand for workshop and repair work, our fleet is now suited to meet all our customer's needs, however big or small.
