Plant Hire Transport Solutions – Built to Deliver, Built to Last

At Sterling, we design and manufacture robust, purpose-built beavertail trucks that meet the demands of the plant hire industry. With decades of engineering expertise, we help plant hire businesses move everything from excavators and dumpers to rollers and telehandlers – safely, efficiently, and reliably.

If you’re transporting heavy-duty plantequipment, the Sterling Megaload is the ideal solution. Designed for general plant equipment, including steel-tracked excavators and large rollers, the Megaload combines strength, simplicity, and smart design features that make plant logistics safer and more efficient.

• Available on rigid chassis from 14 to 32 tonnes

• Double-break beavertail for a gentler, safer loading angle

• Grouser bars for added traction when loading steel-tracked machinery

• Simplified, low-maintenance design with fewer components – reducing downtime

Our specialist vehicle bodies are crafted to handle the rigours of daily plant transport, with build options that ensure strength, safety, and fleet-wide versatility.
