Transport Solutions for the Construction Sector – Built for Strength, Safety & Versatility

At Sterling, we design and manufacture beavertail trucks tailored to the demands of the construction industry. Whether you operate in commercial construction, residential development, or civil engineering, we provide robust transport solutions that help you move essential plant, equipment, and materials with confidence.

Our custom-built vehicle bodies are trusted by construction companies across the UK for their durability, load security, and efficient loading systems – key features that keep your projects running on schedule.

Recommended: Multiload & Combiload

For construction operations requiring maximum flexibility and reliability, Sterling GP recommends the Multiload and Combiload plant bodies—purpose-built to support the varied demands of modern building, infrastructure, and utility work.

Sterling Multiload

Designed for crane-assisted transport, the Multiload is a versatile solution for handling containers, static plant, and non-driven items. Available on 14 to 32 tonne rigid chassis, it features cheesewedge fold-forward ramps (twin, full-width, or gate variants) and flat or upright ramp storage—perfect for switching between lift-on and drive-on loads. With a low deck height and market-leading ramp angles, the Multiload ensures safe loading and superior road handling.

Sterling Combiload

Equally at home on-site or on-road, the Combiload supports drive-on plant and access machinery. Supplied with a double flip ramp and multiple lashing points, it allows for rapid loading and secure transit of dumpers, rollers, cabins, and other plant. Its design caters to the daily wear of tough site work, making it ideal for plant hire, utilities, and general contractors alike.

Engineered for the Demands of Modern Construction

Construction transport is never one-size-fits-all. From tight urban sites to remote infrastructure projects, your fleet must adapt to varied environments and cargo types. Sterling offers a comprehensive range of heavy-duty plant bodies built to handle the pressures of modern building and engineering operations.

Our vehicle bodies are ideal for transporting:

• Excavators, dumpers, rollers, and other heavy plant

• Palletised materials, steel, timber, and concrete products

• Site cabins, fencing, and modular building components

• Equipment for roadworks, utilities, and civil projects

Each build is customised to support safe loading and unloading, reduce downtime, and withstand the wear and tear of daily site use.
