SPECIALIST FLEET SETS CREAGH CONCRETE APART

A regular sight on the roads of the UK and Ireland, Creagh Concrete’s fresh and immaculately-maintained specialist fleet of trucks, trailers and cranes never fails to impress. In keeping with their status as industry-leading pioneers in precast, Creagh’s diverse range of vehicles invariably delivers the goods even in the most challenging of circumstances.

Always looking resplendent and performing at optimal levels, Creagh Concrete’s striking blue fleet of efficient trucks and bespoke specialist trailers – many of them fitted with loader cranes to ensure prompt, professional and safe delivery even in the most confined spaces – always get the job done both on the roads and motorways of Ireland and the UK or in the busy environs of live, high-traffic construction sites.

One of the UK’s largest producers of concrete products for a range of market sectors, Creagh Concrete operates a large, varied and highly specialist fleet. At the time of writing, the offsite precast manufacturing company’s transport manager was overseeing some 38 trucks and 60 trailers. The fleet is regularly replenished and kept in pristine condition at all times by an experienced team of maintenance operatives stationed at their busy Toomebridge maintenance workshop.

With cranes situated behind the cab, the trucks are so versatile that they can get into almost any tight site and reach up to 16m. This requires great skill and precision from Creagh’s expert fitting team – yet another area where this industry-leading company stands out from the competition.

Creagh Concrete source and operate only high-performance, ultraefficient, sustainable vehicles, which are manned by skilled, experienced and conscientious drivers. The same uncompromising standards apply to all
