2025 — jobs we can show you
A full year of it: Everton's new stadium and the M&S Bank Arena on the Liverpool waterfront, Blenheim Palace, a pump skid into StoneX Stadium in London, the festival run to Glastonbury, and a great many ordinary days on the M6.
31 documented jobs from 2025, each with the photograph it came from. Every job is one we actually did.
The record
What 2025 looked like
Each one is a job that happened, captioned with what it was.
Leicester drop-off
A flatbed load run down and set off in Leicester. Ordinary distance work, which is most of what the vehicles actually do.
Birkenhead
Across the water and back the same day. Merseyside is close enough to be regional work rather than a distance job.
Ripon, North Yorkshire
Over the Pennines into North Yorkshire. Ripon is far enough east that it is normally planned as a full day out and back.
Stourport-on-Severn
A Worcestershire delivery, loaded at Miles Platting and craned off at the far end.
A laundry unit delivered
A packaged laundry unit lifted off and positioned. The awkward loads are usually the ones with no lifting points designed into them.
North West haulage
A day of North West work, which for us means inside about ninety minutes of the yard in any direction.
M6, junction 10A
Spotted southbound on the M6. Sent in by another driver.
M54, junction 2
On the M54 heading for the Midlands with a sheeted load.
The A38
On the A38 in September 2025. Trunk roads, not motorway, are where wide and long loads spend most of their time.
At the new Everton stadium
Working at Everton's new ground on the waterfront. Stadium sites are busy in every direction, so the slot on the road matters more than the weight on the hook.
The boom out, Everton
The same visit, boom out over the bed. Everything in front of the vehicle is somebody else's trade waiting to get past.
Blenheim Palace
On the estate at Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire. Historic sites come with route restrictions before they come with lifting ones.
Panels over the building, Birmingham
Wrapped panels going over a building in Birmingham. The only route in is over the top, which is what the long boom is for.
Plant and pipework at Birkenhead
Loaded with plant and pipework at Birkenhead with the crew alongside. Process work is a lot of small awkward items rather than one big one.
Huskisson Dock, Liverpool
Alongside at Huskisson Dock in Liverpool. Dock work runs to the vessel's timetable.
A pressure vessel strapped down, Liverpool
A steel pressure vessel ratcheted down on the bed in Liverpool. Round loads want to move, so they get chocks as well as straps.
A cable drum at Mold
A large cable drum loaded at Mold in north Wales. Drums are heavy at the centre and easy to get wrong at the edges.
Ellesmere Port
Wrapped panels loaded at Ellesmere Port. Flat and fragile is a strapping problem rather than a weight one.
The frame going together
The frame taking shape outside the arena, with the crew working at height off the sections already placed.
On the waterfront
The rigid set up on the waterfront between the arena and the wheel. A city centre event build is a permit and a window before it is anything else.
River Street Tower, Manchester
Working at the foot of River Street Tower in Manchester. City centre towers are lifted from the pavement, with the traffic management already in place.
A drum for the Worcestershire run
A cable drum on the bed for Stourport-on-Severn. Loaded at Miles Platting and craned off at the far end.
Glazing into a Manchester site
Glazed units going in on a city centre site in Manchester, with the towers going up behind.
Brewery vessels loaded
Stainless brewing vessels on the flat, loaded and ready to travel. Polished stainless goes on strops, softeners and patience.
A cyclone off the hook
A cyclone separator coming down onto the bed. Big, light and all surface area - the wind matters more than the weight.
A pump skid to StoneX Stadium
A packaged pump skid delivered and lifted in at StoneX Stadium in London. Everything about it is the access window rather than the mileage.
The Glastonbury run
Cabins on the road for Glastonbury in 2025. The festival run is a fixed date - the site opens, everything goes in, and a few weeks later it all comes back out.
M6 at Todhills
On the M6 at Todhills, the last few miles before the border. Anything past Carlisle is planned as a multi-day job.
M74 at Greenhillstairs
On the M74 in southern Scotland. Anything past Carlisle is planned as a multi-day job.
M5 at Strensham
On the M5 in Worcestershire. Trunk road running is most of what the fleet actually does in between the lifts.
