The A14 through Kettering is one of the main freight arteries between the Midlands and the Felixstowe ports, which makes the town a sensible base for moving heavy and abnormal loads. Our heavy haulage in Kettering covers the loads that standard lorries cannot legally carry, with the trailers, drivers and route planning that oversized movements demand.
Heavy and abnormal loads around Kettering
Kettering’s engineering and manufacturing base produces and receives large fabrications, machinery and structures that exceed normal road limits. We move oversized steelwork, full machinery installations and abnormal construction loads, using the A14 to link cleanly with the A1, M1 and M6 and the route toward Felixstowe for export traffic.
- Oversized steel fabrications and structures
- Complete machinery installations and process units
- Abnormal construction plant and equipment
- Long, wide or high loads needing notified movements
- Export loads routed via the A14 to Felixstowe
How heavy haulage works
Give us the full dimensions and weight and we plan the move from there: the right trailer for the load, a route along the A14 that avoids restricted bridges, and the abnormal-load notifications the law requires. Where escorts are needed we arrange them, and experienced drivers handle the movement from collection through to delivery.

Frequently asked questions
Can you route abnormal loads from Kettering toward Felixstowe?
Yes. The A14 runs from Kettering straight toward the Felixstowe ports, and it is a route built for freight. We plan abnormal-load movements along it with the correct notifications in place.
How much notice do you need for an abnormal load out of Kettering?
It depends on the size. Larger loads need more notice because police and highway authorities require advance notification, so call us as early as you can with the dimensions and weight.
