We provide a professional and reliable service specialising in the transport of abnormal loads, including static caravans, park homes, log cabins, over size vehicles, machinery and large structures. We also transport touring caravans, vehicles and agricultural machinery. We are able to transport anywhere in the UK.
The company was founded by Chris’s Great grandfather Fred Nicholls in 1910. He started transporting milk and timber for the local farmers in the nearby village of Wanstrow using his horse and cart. In 1930 the business moved to Witham Friary, this was due to his success and the expansion of the company, who were then transporting milk, timber and livestock.
Chris’s Grandfather Leonard joined the company in 1935 at the age of 14, he was mainly working with horses extracting timber from the local woods, until the age of 17 when he started driving lorries, this led to the diversification into the transport of agricultural produce and bulk commodities. Chris’s Father, Fred Nicholls, and Brother became a partnership in 1999 and during 2002 a customer requested that they move their mobile home, this was the beginning of the static caravan and park home side of the haulage business.
Chris has been working alongside his Father farming from a very young age and since he was able to drive at the age of 21 he went onto delivering straw and then onto delivering static caravans. He has now been delivering caravans for over 18 years.
Chris and Georgina met in 2009 and Georgina joined Chris in the lorry as a second man. Chris had just set up his own siting services in 2008 and together they have grown this company to where it is today. They provide a full siting service from getting the homes onto base, using a variety of vehicles if required, 4×4s, mini telehandler, JCB Telehandler, and tractors, and fully siting the caravans or park homes ready for commissioning.
At the start of January 2020 Chris and Georgina started their own transport business in moving static caravans and park homes, running their own two lorries and providing a full package, delivering your park home or caravan and fully siting once on site.
