The terrain in Kent can be quite diverse, and selecting the appropriate haulage equipment often depends on these geographical variations. In my experience, understanding the specific ground conditions is crucial. For example, if the site has hilly or uneven terrain, articulated dump trucks are usually preferable due to their maneuverability and stability.

For sites near coastal areas or with softer ground, equipment with wider tires or tracks is ideal to avoid sinking or getting stuck. Tipper trucks with higher ground clearance can also be advantageous in such conditions. Conversely, for projects on more stable, flat ground, traditional flatbed trucks might be more efficient and faster.

Weather also plays a part. Kent's occasional heavy rainfall can make certain vehicles more prone to slippage, so I often look for machines with better traction control and all-weather capabilities. It’s always better to be prepared than to face delays and additional costs.
