TRANSPORTING AVIATION HERITAGE THROUGH THE AGES

As a road transport service provider, we don’t get the chance to enjoy other modes of travel as much as we would like. So when the opportunity arises to team up with the aviation industry, we are first to board!

HELPING TO PRESERVE OUR HISTORY & PLAYING OUR PART IN MODERN FLIGHT

Britain’s aviation industry is as much about modern day as yesteryear and our work takes us through the ages. Spitfires, Hawker Hurricanes and other historical aircraft – we are privileged to transport these from restoration sites to private collectors and museums. Parts and accessories such as engines, cockpits and wings, we deliver too.
We also transport light sport aircraft, helicopters, floatplanes and gliders for commercial and private enterprises, and military aircraft and their components for the MOD and public sector.

EXPORTING WORLDWIDE

For international shipments that require lifting into containers. Our work includes the lifting of aero engines and cockpits; as well as lifting off wings as part of the dismantling of the aircraft in preparation for its journey abroad.

TAKING CARE, ARRANGING COVER

We recognise that every item we handle for the aviation industry is precious or high value, or both. Rest assured, we have expertise and specialist equipment to deliver your goods to exacting standards. If you seek extra reassurance, we can arrange additional insurances that provide cover for every stage of the delivery process and for each operation.

Excellent crane assessment and careful handling and positioning of our expensive Television and Radio containers. The operator was very professional and worked diligently to make sure all was 100% correct. Also had the added bonus of being a very polite and approachable person to work with. As far as the television and radio Engineers present at the off-loading are concerned, the operations on site could not have gone any better than they did. Thank you for another job well done.

Arqiva Ltd

I just wanted to say a BIG BIG Thank You to you and your guys. The lift was not as straightforward as we had first envisaged and it was purely down to your driver’s experience and expertise that we managed to get the units loaded. They were the epitome of Team-Work and a great example of Synergy working at its best. The way your guys manoeuvred their trucks was nothing short of magnificent. Working with nothing more than a few inches to spare!

I just want to say how much we appreciated your driver today for his professionalism and his outlook on the high safety standards that you as a company maintain. It was a breath of fresh air to have a HIAB driver arrive on-site with safety and can-do attitude. Many thanks for providing a competent and professional service. It’s a pleasure to see a job being done with proper regard to safety. He was absolutely spot on – our site AP is full of praise.

Please pass on my thanks and highest regards to your drivers for the excellent work they did in Penzance. The planning was exemplary and execution flawless. In addition to the professionalism shown by both towards their work, and everyone’s safety; they were also extremely polite, friendly and continually adapted to the fluid situation we were in. All appropriate safety equipment was checked and used without question or any need for a gentle reminder. Great to see!
