Specialist Plant Bodies for the Accommodation Sector – Built to Move Portable Units Safely & Efficiently

At Sterling GP, we design and manufacture beavertail trucks specifically for the accommodation sector. Whether you’re delivering containers, portable site offices, toilet cubicles, or modular buildings, our robust plant bodies are engineered to handle a diverse range of size, weight, and loading requirements with ease and reliability.

We support companies operating in construction site welfare, infrastructure, disaster relief, and modular building installation – offering practical solutions that keep operations running smoothly.

Recommended: Multiload & Combiload – Built for Versatility in Accommodation Transport

When it comes to moving non-driven portable units and heavy plant within the accommodation sector, we recommend two standout solutions: the Sterling Multiload and the Sterling Combiload.

Sterling Multiload

A multifunctional plant body, ideal for crane-assisted transport of containers, welfare units, and modular buildings, the Multiload performs double duty:

• Functions as both a crane vehicle (for lift-on items) and a beavertail (for drive-on machinery)

• Cheesewedge ramps available in twin, full-width, or gate configurations

• Ramps can be stored flat or upright, providing unmatched flexibility for various cargo types

• Low deck height and market-leading ramp angles for safer, smoother loading

• Designed for rigid chassis from 14T to 32T

Sterling Combiload

For mixed transport of access platforms, plant, and accommodation units, the Combiload offers maximum adaptability:

• Built to carry a wide array of equipment, from toilet blocks to excavators

• Supplied with a double flip ramp for fast, safe loading of different machinery sizes

• Multiple lashing points for enhanced load security

Tailored Transport for Containers, Welfare Units & Portable Buildings

Transporting temporary accommodation structures requires strength, flexibility, and precision. Sterling vehicle bodies are built for exactly that. Our builds are perfect for:

• Site cabins and portable offices

• Storage containers and shipping containers

• Welfare units and modular washrooms

• Toilet cubicles and sanitation blocks

• Flat-pack buildings and temporary classrooms

Our vehicles are designed to maximise deck space, improve fuel efficiency, and ensure secure, hassle-free loading across all conditions.

Recommended: Cheesewedge Ramp for Space, Safety & Fuel Efficiency

For businesses operating in the accommodation transport sector, we strongly recommend our cheesewedge ramp system – a proven game-changer in both performance and efficiency.

• Its fold-forward design allows for maximum usable deck space, crucial when delivering bulky or multiple units in a single trip.

• The ramp is engineered for strength and safety, guaranteeing load stability even when handling heavy or high-profile structures like cabins and containers.

• Reduced wind resistance when folded forward can lower fuel consumption by up to 15%, offering significant savings over time – a key reason for its growing popularity in this sector.

When strength, space, and economy matter, the cheesewedge ramp delivers on all fronts.
