Gordons Transport

Supporting Yorkshire and Beyond

This latest commission celebrates two striking variations of a modern heavy haulage combination, featuring a 1:50 scale DAF XG 530 6×2 tractor unit paired with a 3-axle extendable flatbed trailer in the colours of Gordons Transport.

Produced exclusively for Search Impex by WSI Models as certificated limited editions, the models showcase one of Yorkshire’s best-known transport operators. While one version is finished in the company’s familiar fleet livery, the second carries a special Yorkshire Air Ambulance themed design, creating a unique collector’s pairing that combines commercial transport with charitable support.

Founded in 1946, Gordons Transport has grown from modest beginnings into one of the UK’s leading specialist haulage operators. Headquartered in Yorkshire, the company operates a modern fleet of vehicles and trailers undertaking general haulage, abnormal load movements and specialist transport projects throughout the United Kingdom and beyond.

Known for its professionalism, reliability and investment in modern equipment, Gordons has built a reputation for handling a wide variety of challenging loads. Its distinctive vehicles are a familiar sight on Britain’s roads, particularly within the construction, infrastructure and heavy transport sectors.

While one model is finished in the company’s familiar fleet livery, the second celebrates Gordons Transport’s support of the Yorkshire Air Ambulance, its chosen Charity of the Year. Providing rapid-response emergency medical care across the region, the Yorkshire Air Ambulance plays a vital role in saving lives, making this special edition a fitting tribute to a cause close to the company’s heart.

Together, these models showcase both the operational strength and community spirit that have helped define Gordons Transport for almost eight decades. Combining a modern DAF XG, specialist extendable trailer and two distinctive liveries, they remain a memorable addition to the Search Impex commissioned model range.
