Haulage & Storage Solutions
Here at Milestone, we know that finding the right landscaping supplier can be difficult. You need to trust your chosen company to provide you with what you need on time, within budget, and using a haulage method that best meets your needs.
Delivery Options
That’s why we are proud to offer a wide range of specialist vehicles and delivery services. Our specialist fleet boasts six wheeled rigids, eight wheeled rigids and wagon and drags, all with a crane offload facility.
Alternatively, we offer a range of Artic Flat vehicles and Moffetts. If you are looking for loose loads, we have eight wheeled tippers and artic aggregate tippers. Our Courier network service can cover any last-minute orders nationwide.
Storage Solutions
We offer a storage solution here at East Tilbury yard, our 2.5-acre site is in close proximity to major hubs like the Port of Tilbury and London Gateway.
This makes it ideal for storing various types of construction and landscaping materials. We can store and tranship onto smaller more specialist vehicles. We only use FORS accredited vehicles making us ideal for onward deliveries into Central London and the Home Counties.
