Truss packs are long, wide and surprisingly fragile. Dragging them off a flatbed twists joints and damages plates, and carrying them up through a building is slow, heavy work. Crane offload solves both: packs are lifted flat, kept banded and placed at the building or up to wall plate level where reach and weight allow.
We deliver for truss manufacturers, timber frame companies and builders, from a single house pack to phased deliveries across a development, sequenced so each plot gets its trusses when the roof is ready.
In this time we’ve learnt a lot about providing a premium service to each one of our clients, helping to make sure HTF Transport are the first choice for many all over the UK.

Where pack weight, building height and vehicle position allow, yes. The crane places packs at wall plate or scaffold level so your team can install straight from the lift.
Yes. Single packs for self-builds and extensions are regular work for us, alongside larger programmes for developers.
Yes. We collect from manufacturers and timber engineering firms and deliver direct to site, so transport and lift are handled in one booking.
Packs travel flat, banded and strapped on flatbed vehicles, and they are lifted rather than dragged at both ends, which protects the joints and connector plates.
