It has been a busy week for our Bulk hashtagHaulage division helping to deliver Feed to various storage hubs on behalf of Mole Valley Farmers who landed two vessels into Appledore North Devon.  As a hashtagTASCC accredited Haulier we have been on hand to get the feed-stuffs to their destination ready to be deployed into the food chain.

The area of Appledore, Northam & Bideford has a rich maritime history with Bideford once being the 3rd largest port in England. Commodities such as Timber & Tobacco were imported from America and exports such as cloth, pottery and clays were sent around the world from here. The area has an incredible history for shipbuilding so it is great to see vessels still coming into the North Devon Coast.

Appledore was also where Evans Transport Ltd head office was based from 1981 until after the acquisition of Lameys distribution, at the time taking the fleet from 15 to 25 vehicles.

We recently took delivery of 3 new artic brick and block cranes. The trailers have all been provided by Montracon and the cranes have been supplied from Hiab and Palfinger. These cranes can quite easily lift a pack of bricks at a reach of about 7m. All the trailers have come with a retractable curtain sides supplied by TWR Bodybuilders of Cullompton featuring the full Evans Transport livery. This unique system enables a faster unload and loading system for the drivers.

Our latest Epsilon M120L Timber Crane & Grab is on a Dennison trailer chassis, and has a set of Alucar pins and bolsters. It comes complete with a rear sliding bays which allows the operator to load the timber on the trailer with easy operation of the crane and then slide the load back.

It is also the first type of crane we have with a telescopic cab which allows for additional driver comfort.
