DavyMarkham has transported large and very heavy equipment all over the world working in conjunction with specialist road transport and
shipping companies. The road haulage companies employed by DM are registered with the Road Haulage Association. This ensures its member
companies comply with all legal, Health & Safety and Environmental requirements and all other relevant local or international legislation.Most of the routes for abnormal loads leaving DM for export have already been proven and are well established. As most of our consignments are destined for overseas locations these are transported by road to Immingham or Goole using specialist haulage contractors, who carry out a detailed assessment of the route. Depending on the nature of the load, street furniture may have to be removed and then replaced. In some cases, roads have to be temporarily closed whilst the haulage vehicles may have to be driven on the wrong side of the road.
In the early 1980’s the company paid for the strengthening of a number of road bridges between the Sheffield factory and the deepwater docks at Immingham to take 400 Tonne loads – an investment that is still paying dividends 25 years later. Once at the dockside, the harbour master and Ship’s Captain take over responsibility until offloading at the destination port.
The vehicles which transport these abnormal loads include multi-axle step frame and low loaders; steerable and extendable trailers and hydraulic modular trailer systems. Heavy mobile cranes and jacking systems are also used to load equipment onto special trailers specially designed for specific routes.
All timber used for packing crates are made according to ISPM 15 regulations to ensure that woodborne timber pests are neither exported nor imported.
