So the long wait is finally over! The new flagship lorry is here! B19VAH is our new heavy lifting lorry designed for small gaps and big lifts.

Boasting an impressive lift on full reach of 1.2 tonne at 31 metres or 4 tonne at 19metres and close in 19tonne at 4 metres she really can lift!

Mounted onto the Scania tridem 8x4 chassis for increased turning circle to allow us to get into the tighter spaces required for some of our customers.

Height restriction?

Upminster Containers Ltd asked us to deliver this brand new toilet block and waste tank to a customer in Chislehurst south east London.
However, this was no normal job as there was a 4.1m height restriction within the site, but thanks to our good friend Ronnie Downs @ Lift & Shift transport and his broshuis 3 axle low bed. This restriction was easily overcome, paired with our rigid Hiab lorry this made light work of the task in hand.

Tricky access? Not a problem for us at V.A Henderson, to some people this task was a big job but for us it was just another day in the office.

We delivered this precast base and substation for one of our long term customers the other week. This job had a few challenges to overcome.

First being access, the location for the sub was round the back of a 132kva substation so we couldn’t get the lorry anywhere near it.

However, with the help of our jeko spk60 and tracked carrier we completely this job with ease.

Another challenge we faced was the base was over 3m wide so we had to obtain the correct movement order to transport it on the road.

Overall the job went smoothly and the customer is happy so therefore so are we!

Another machine move completed today for Microtec EDM. We first had to remove the machine from the previous owners workshop.

Then transport it to Microtecs workshop, where we had to first move a couple machines within their workshop to make room for the new (to them) machine.

Then we could install the machine exactly where they desired and to finish the day of nicely, we then removed an old machine that is being collected tomorrow.

Thanks to mircotec for the custom we hope to do more in the future!

Another all terrain install done by the team the other day. We used our Jeko SPK60 and 4000 series tracked carrier which allowed us to carry out this otherwise tricky install safely and easily.
