In 1959, Maurice Allely purchased his first truck, (a Thorneycroft Sturdey-Stars), to enable him to start a business transporting livestock throughout south Warwickshire. He cannot have imagined, however, that some 55 years on, his initial truck purchase and business venture would grow to become one of the UK’s largest haulage and transport companies in the form of The Allelys Group. Today’s Group now specialises in three main areas, namely General Haulage, Heavy Haulage and also Electrical/Industrial installations and removals.

Allelys Heavy Haulage Ltd., is one of the country’s leading specialists in the movement of heavy and abnormal loads. Able to draw on more than 20 years of experience and with an impressive range of modern trucks & impressive trailer types at its disposal means Allelys is well placed to undertake all aspects of work associated with abnormal load movements . Working throughout the UK & Europe, regular loads (up to 350 tonnes) include transformers, generators & turbines, as well as marine vessels, railway locomotives & rolling stock – in this respect, the Company operates the largest fleet of purpose built, specialised rail carriers in the UK.

Loads are moved on a variety of trailers ranging from low loaders and extendable flatbeds, through to wafer beds, wind turbine tower & blade trailers, vessel carriers, not to mention girder trailers (to 400 tons), as well as modular trailers & self propelled modular trailers (capable of moving up to 1500 tons). Traction is provided by DAF & MAN units – from standard 6×2 tractors, through to ballasted 8×4 units, plated for up to 250 tons.
