Chesterfield’s position on the M1, with the town served by Junction 29 and Markham Vale at its own Junction 29a, puts it within easy reach of Sheffield (12 miles north) and Derby (24 miles south) along the A61 and A619 corridors. HTF Transport provides professional HIAB hire across Chesterfield and the wider north Derbyshire area as part of our dedicated UK-wide service.
We cover Chesterfield town centre, Brimington, Hasland, Old Whittington, Staveley, Wingerworth, Walton, Calow, Bolsover, and Clay Cross across every postcode from S40 through to S45, plus Dronfield (S18) to the north. Beyond HIAB crane hire, HTF Transport provides a full range of transport and logistics services across Chesterfield. A single load or an ongoing programme of site deliveries, we have the vehicles and the experience to cover it.
HTF Transport is a family run haulage and lifting company working from a depot in Audenshaw, east Manchester. We have been moving and lifting loads for customers since 1989, and today run a modern fleet of HIAB crane lorries, tractor units, ramp equipped vehicles and 4×4 LCVs.
Every lift is carried out by our own trained operators rather than subcontracted out, so the person on the crane is the person we are accountable for. The fleet holds FORS Silver accreditation, all vehicles are ADR compliant for hazardous loads, and every unit is TomTom tracked so we can give you accurate progress on your delivery. We work around the clock, including nights and weekends, for jobs that need road closures or out of hours access.
Materials, cabins, plant and equipment delivered and placed exactly where the site needs them.
Bricks, blocks, timber and packs lifted over hoardings and set down in position.
Site cabins and welfare units collected, delivered and lifted onto their bases.
Industrial machines collected, moved and positioned by trained crane operators.
Diggers, dumpers and site equipment moved between compounds and sites.
Beams, columns and fabricated steel delivered and set down at the workface.
Pallets set down where a forklift cannot reach, from single pallets to full loads.
Wide, long and heavy loads moved under the right notifications, crane included.

Yes. Chesterfield is the gateway to the Peak District National Park to the west, with rural sites across the Derbyshire Dales (Bakewell, Hathersage, Matlock) and into the high moors. Road access can be limited in these areas: narrower roads, steeper gradients, and weight restrictions on heritage bridges. We select appropriate vehicle sizes from our fleet for Peak District access and, for particularly restricted sites, also operate 4×4 pickup vehicles for tooling and equipment delivery.
Yes. Bolsover (in its own district to the east of Chesterfield) and Clay Cross (to the south on the A61 corridor) both host significant commercial and industrial activity, with Clay Cross in particular carrying substantial logistics and manufacturing tenants.
