The main difference is the level of service we go up to. Many freight hauliers provide good services, however typically, they will only deliver the customer product to the loading bay or goods in area. For customers that require their product to be delivered to the room of choice this can cause a headache.
They need not fear, as our differentiator is we will go above and beyond to get our customers product into their room of choice. With expert planning, skilled delivery crew and the latest specialist handling equipment available on the market we can ensure our customers get their product where it is needed.
We regularly move large, fragile and expensive product up ramps, stairs, lift shafts, crane into windows floors up, we welcome the challenge and always deliver.
