Introduction of what we operate

The Company has a fleet of 3.5 Tonne rigid flatbed MAN’s, 7.5 Tonne AND 18 Tonne rigid flatbed DAFS. All are maintained to a very high standard and all vehicles operate from our depot in Leeds just minutes from the M1 Motorway.All goods and vehicles are stored in our secured depot and kept undercover with 24/7 security on site.

At Gilberts we are of course conscious of protecting the environment for the future. The Gilbert  fleet run to the latest Euro Vehicle Standards along with ADBLU meaning we are able to vastly reduce our carbon output on the area around us. We have obtained several awards from Masternaut congratulating us on our efforts to reduce the effect Haulage has on the environment.
