Company background

Origins in Bedfordshire tipper haulage

Loaden Haulage was established to provide tipper haulage between Bedfordshire quarries and construction sites along the A1 corridor. Located in Sandy, Bedfordshire, the operating base provides direct access to the strategic road network and to clients across Bedford, Cambridge, Peterborough, Northampton, Milton Keynes and the wider South Midlands, East Anglia and Home Counties region.

The business has retained the operational disciplines that defined its early years: scheduled adherence, transparent invoicing, and the establishment of long-term commercial relationships with both quarry operators and construction customers.

Capability today

A diversified haulage capability

Over the past two decades, the Loaden Haulage service offering has expanded to incorporate walking floor capacity for waste and biomass movements, curtainsider trailers for palletised general freight, and traction-only haulage for clients requiring tractor units and qualified drivers to operate their own trailers.

The company operates across the United Kingdom, with regular contracted lanes between Bedfordshire and major industrial and distribution hubs nationwide, in addition to ad-hoc capacity provision for established hauliers requiring sub-hire cover.
