Specialists in Machinery & Plant Movements

CMG are specialists in machinery & plant movements throughout the UK. We have over 40 years of experience in transporting backhoe machines and other construction equipment for several manufacturers within the UK and across Western Europe. The robust vehicles in our fleet are capable of loading backhoe and other types of machines using our ramped flatbed trailers. The ramps form part of the low loader, so if they are not required, we are still able to load using the full trailer length. For taller machines, we use our sliding roof tautliner trailers which enable elongated equipment and machinery to be loaded with the added security of having curtains at the side. A common machine that we transport, are tractors. We have been helping businesses, farmers, manufacturers and dealerships across the UK and Europe to transport tractors to their desired destination for the past four decades.


Welcome to the complex world of machinery and plant movements. At its core, this discipline involves the intricate and meticulous process of relocating machinery and equipment from origin to destination - a task that requires both skill, the right equipment and more.
