Transformer movements are planned jobs. The unit is heavy for its size, it has defined lifting points and it has to land precisely on its plinth or into its enclosure. We work from the weights, dimensions and lifting arrangements on the drawings, position the vehicle for the reach required and place the unit to your setting out.
We carry distribution transformers, switchgear panels, package substations and ancillary electrical plant for electrical contractors and infrastructure projects.
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.

From Oldham we support electrical infrastructure work across the UK, with 24 hour service available for outage-driven programmes where the lift has to happen when the network allows. Weights, lifting points, access and timing: confirm those and the rest is routine.
We have an easy to use calculator which finds the ideal HIAB for the job, to start choose what kind of job you need the HIAB for.

Distribution transformers, switchgear, package substations and ancillary plant such as enclosures and control panels. Each unit is planned from its weight, dimensions and lifting points.
Yes, subject to weight and crane reach. The unit is lifted from the vehicle and landed to your setting out, into compounds and enclosures where the geometry allows.
Oil brings dangerous goods rules into play and our fleet is ADR compliant. Give us the unit type and oil state when you enquire and we will confirm the transport arrangements.
Yes. Decommissioned units are lifted out and transported to the facility you nominate, with the same planning as an installation lift in reverse.
Unit weight and dimensions, lifting points, oil state, both addresses, site access and the programme window the lift has to fit inside.
