Hiab hire and haulage in Crediton
Crediton is a short run north-west of Exeter on the A377, which makes it easy to combine with city work. It is an old town with a notably long main street and a working trade estate down by the river.
The country around it is mid Devon farmland, and a good proportion of the work here reflects that rather than the town itself.
Access
Easy from Exeter, narrower beyond
The A377 from Exeter is straightforward and the trade estate on the low ground by the river has proper commercial access.
The High Street is long and, in the older sections, narrow, with the usual parking pressure. Not difficult, but worth timing sensibly.
North and west of the town the lanes into mid Devon narrow quickly, and those are the jobs where being able to lift from a gateway rather than drive into a yard makes the difference.
The work
Trade estate, farming and Exeter overspill
The trade estate produces steady commercial work — machinery, materials, containers and palletised loads.
Around it, mid Devon farming brings equipment and container work down lanes, and the town's proximity to Exeter means a fair amount of building and conversion work too.
- Deliveries and collections at the trade estate
- Farm machinery and containers across mid Devon
- Steel and materials into building and conversion sites
- Plant moved between sites and depots
- Work combined with Exeter runs the same day
The lorry
What turns up in Crediton
One vehicle: a 30TM HMF hiab with 10 metres of reach on a cheesewedge body, carrying up to 10 tons. It brings the load and lifts it into place, so there is no second machine to arrange and nobody waiting about at either end.
Questions
Common questions about Crediton
- Can you do Crediton and Exeter in one trip?
- Usually, and it is the sensible way to do it. They are only a few miles apart, so combining the two normally costs less than two separate visits.
- Do you go further up the Taw valley?
- Yes, towards Eggesford and beyond. Those are lane jobs, so the more you can tell us about the access the better.
