concrete railway sleepers - Cambridgeshire to Carlisle

[pine_guy]

two loads of loose concrete railway sleepers from PE15 8QJ to just south of carlisle.
As the sleepers are loose and not stacked, it will requite a flatbed with strong side supports or at least 3 droppable sides

They will need stacking I doubt anyone will take a load of bundled sleepers These are the people for the job

Are they in a Network Rail yard? If so then just make sure that the haulier, and driver know the protocol for getting stuff out of there.
I've seen drivers turned away for wrong colour high viz clothing or not having lace-up boots

Yes, normally get them out of crew, but price seemed right on these......if I can get them home for reasonable money

Do you mind me asking how much they are out of March atm, before haulage ? And how many you would tend to get on an artic ?

They are sold by tender, so npot fixed price. 100 usually on a artic depending on type/ weight

these are a mix of sizes which fits with a project.

Had them delivered with flatbed with strong slide in poles on the side Before. The side thing is just it needs to be lower able for loading I think if they are solid.
obviously stacked aremuch easier handled.

Will give them a ring, good service but comes at a price tag that have made me use other companies. First time I asked them to move some for me, I ended up buying a few hundred off them they had lying around

what price and how many

There used to be a seller who delivered loose sleepers in a bulker!!

Mine have always come on an artic flat or curtainsider, beautifully stacked!

I took delivery of some of them. . . . only once. That was enough
Maybe ok out in a field, but was a nightmare to sort out on the yard

We have used Lawsons for a few years now. They come down London and east anglia a fair bit. They are ok to deal with.

I have managed to get these home and possibly have the chance of some more that are the standard length, roughly 8foot. The option is there with these to have them loaded into a bulk tipper wagon using a large excavator with a grab. I have a really good local firm that haul a lot of scrap, but unfortunately never get down to Cambridgeshire. Can anyone recommend some companies that get into that area?

See John Beaty from Penrith round here occasionally but doubt they'd want them in their bulkers.

PJ Thory are a local company but not sure they go that far North.

If you could get them stacked on a flat I'd give you a dozen names that'd do it.
If you google Harrison Tractors his yard is only 2 miles away, he may go and load them for you.
