Who moves the plant after the sale?
The buyer, with their own haulier or one we arrange on their behalf. Tracked machines and heavy plant leave on a low loader. Wheeled plant with road registration can be driven away. We supervise loading, check each machine out against the invoice and do not release anything until it has been paid for.
