An articulated vehicle is one which has a permanent or semi-permanent pivoting joint, allowing the vehicle to turn more sharply. There are many kinds of articulated vehicles, from heavy equipment to buses and trains.
Any vehicle towing a trailer could be described as ‘articulated’ (the word comes from the Latin articulus : small joint). In the UK, the term “articulated lorry” refers to the combination of a tractor and a semi-trailer, abbreviated to “artic”.
Here at Sussex Transport, our fleet of articulated lorries, trailers, flatbeds and haulers travel the country offering full and backload return rates. With both box and curtain-sided artic lorries, we can configure the load space to accommodate and secure just about any load.
Utilising the best fleet management technology available on the market today enables us to pin-point and constantly monitor the real-time movement of our vehicles.
All Sussex Transport vehicles are rigorously maintained and extremely well presented. Our fully-uniformed drivers are highly proficient, professional and courteous at all times.
Sussex Transport made a dedicated delivery of two market stalls from Dartford to Portsmouth using one of its fleet of artics – pictured! Just another example of the diverse deliveries we carry out every day!
