Below is our specialized fleet breakdown, designed to accommodate every site requirement from bulk hauls to tight-access offloading.
Building Materials Delivery Options
Moffet Split
These trucks are designed with a Moffett Mount – Ideal for short haul operations where rapid trailer swapping is required. The Moffett is used at:
- Difficult to access sites where space is confined, such as Panhandles and Residential Complexes.
They can deliver materials like bricks, or palletised cement & building materials where needed, rather than just where the truck can access.
Crane Split
These trucks are designed with an integrated hydraulic crane mount, Ideal for short haul operations where rapid trailer swapping is required. The Moffett is used at:
- Difficult to access sites where space is confined, such as Panhandles and Residential Complexes.
They can deliver materials like bricks, or palletised cement & building materials where needed, rather than just where the truck can access.
Horse & Trailer
This Vehicle is a Horse and Trailer configuration with a truck-mounted crane. Because of the vehicle’s significant length and the reach of the hydraulic crane, wide, non-restricted spaces are essential for safe maneuvering. These units are ideal for:
- Curbside deliveries and operations in open sites.
Moffet truck
This is our tri-axle flat deck trailer – equipped with a truck mounted Moffett, often referred to as a Moffett truck. These vehicles are highly versatile for logistics because they allow for independent offloading at sites without existing lifting facilities.
They are capable of:
- Manoeuvring in restricted spaces where standard delivery trucks or large offloading equipment cannot fit.
Small Moffet
This is our “small” Moffett truck – The flatbed body and rigid chassis configuration make it suitable for brick and palletised cement transport. The primary advantage is total independence. Once the truck arrives at its destination, the driver can dismount the Moffett and begin unloading.
Ideally used for:
- Smaller load sizes
