Corby grew up around steel, and that industrial heritage still shapes the town. Today it is a busy manufacturing and distribution centre with large estates at Earlstrees, Willowbrook and Weldon, handling everything from steel products and food production to logistics. Heavy and bulky loads are part of daily life here, which suits us well. We run up to Corby via the A43 and A14 and cover the town for the full range of road and heavy haulage.
Heavy haulage and industrial loads
Corby’s manufacturers regularly need heavy, oversized and abnormal loads moved, from fabricated steel and large machinery to plant and industrial equipment. We handle these alongside full and part loads and hiab deliveries that lift heavy items into position on site. Where a load is over the standard limits we arrange the movement notifications and escort vehicles as part of the job.

Road links and access
The A43 links Corby south to Kettering and Northampton and north to Stamford and the A1, while the A6003 and A427 connect the town to the A14 corridor a few miles south. The estates at Earlstrees and Willowbrook are built for industrial traffic, with good wide access for articulated and heavy vehicles. For abnormal loads we plan the route to the A14 carefully, taking account of any weight-restricted bridges and the best junction to join the network.
What we need to quote
Let us know the collection and delivery postcodes, the weight and dimensions of the load, and your dates. For steel, machinery or anything heavy, photos and a weight figure help us choose the right trailer and confirm any permits.

Corby FAQs
Can you move fabricated steel and large machinery from Earlstrees? Yes. Heavy and oversized loads from Corby’s industrial estates are a regular job for us, and we will advise on trailer type, permits and escorts where the dimensions need them.
Do you handle the notifications for an abnormal load out of Corby? We do. Where a load exceeds the standard limits we arrange the required notifications to the police and highway authorities and provide escorts as part of the service.
