UK VEHICLE EXPORTS

WHY GET YOUR HEAVY GOODS VEHICLE OR TRAILER FROM THE UK MARKET?

 

Many of our clients before doing business with us enquired as to why they should source their HGVs from the British market. Below are some of the reasons why many individuals, haulage companies and government departments have decided to source their used HGVs and trailers from the UK:

 

  • UK law serves to ensure that all vehicles on British roads are safe and are regularly inspected by government approved service stations.

  • The loading capacities that are recommended by most manufacturers are 10 to 20% higher than the loading capacities that are allowed by British law on UK roads. Therefore, HGVs from the UK will have NEVER worked at full loading capacity.

  • British roads are of a very high standard with no pot holes or road bumps. There are no steep inclines or declines on British highways. This means that your vehicles will have never had to deal with full loads on difficult road conditions. This means that the integrity of the chassis and engine will still be at a very high level.

  • The UK haulage industry is highly professionalised and regulated. Companies and individuals that own HGVs do, as a matter of business practise, take very good care of their vehicles and service them regularly. A HGV from the British used market would normally come with a full service history that includes all major repairs.

  • In our years of experience, in comparison to HGVs from other parts of the world, vehicles from the UK used market are of better quality due to less wear and tear issues.

  • Purchasing a HGV from the UK market guarantees you less spending on initial repairs. Depending on how you use your vehicle in your home country, you should be able to re-coup much of if not all of the purchase price before having to undergo major repairs to the vehicle.

WHY GET YOUR HGV/TRAILER FROM US?

 

  • We have many years experience in sourcing and supplying HGVs, Trailers, Plant and Machinery to Africa from the British used market. This experience translates into savings for you and peace of mind that you are dealing with a reputable company.

 

  • The purchase of a HGV is a costly exercise and we have first hand experience of the value of a Lorry arriving in Africa in working condition, ready to make the money back that has been spent on the purchase. 

 

  • Our staff have travelled extensively in Africa to meet with clients. We understand the needs of our typical clients and aim to tailor our service to your need.

 

  • We are always accessible and we are more interested in happy clients and client relationship than the number of sales we make. This has translated into a strong and steady business.

 

  • We follow up our sales to make sure everything is ok and can offer advice and help with parts.

Sourcing your HGV/Trailer

We are a company based in the United Kingdom, specialising in Sourcing and exports of HGVs and trailers to Africa. Most of our business has been to East and Southern Africa, but have also had clients from West and Central Africa.

 

Our service is simple and straight forward:

  • You tell us what HGV or Trailer you are looking for. We will ask for as much detail as possible including mileage, age.

  • We will ask for your budget, or suggest to you the going rate for your vehicle/trailer.

  • We will source the vehicle. We have vehicles that we keep in stock but if we do not, we can work with our many partners to find the right vehicle for you.

  • We do a thorough inspection of the vehicle according to UK law and regulation for vehicles on the road. We will inspect and test the engine, body and all electronics using certified mechanics.

Getting your vehicle to you

Once we are happy with the HGV/trailer we have sourced for you, we will communicate with you the condition of the vehicle in detail. You can request Photographs and Video. Once you are happy with the vehicle, we will go through the following steps:

  • Agree on final price (including or excluding shipping. It is cheaper for you to ship with us as we have on going relationships with shipping companies due to the volume of vehicles the we export).

  • We require payment of half of the agreed price to guarantee shipping. Once you have paid the half, you will receive a copy of the shipping note.

  • We require final payment of the other half before we ship the Vehicle/Trailer. We will send the Bill of Laden (BOL) to you by DHL once vehicle has dispatched. For returning customers, we are flexible with payment.

  • We may be able to offer assistance with clearing and taxes at your port. If this is a service you require, please let us know.
