Vehicles

Here at Defenda Couriers we are committed to minimising our impact on the environment by ensuring that we operate a well maintained fleet of modern vehicles. And that wherever possible the correct sized vehicle is dispatched for a client’s urgent same day delivery requirements.

We already have a number of small Electric Vehicles & have plans to add more as battery technology improves and extended range allows the replacement of our current Euro 6 engine fleet.

Below is a guide to the type & size of vehicles we have available, but if you need help deciding which vehicle best suits your particular load just call or email & a member of our friendly team will be delighted to help.

If you need a Hiab (a vehicle with a self-mounted crane) or a Moffet (a vehicle with a fork lift) we can offer them too in most parts of the country.
