Tractor Unit Hire
If buying outright is not the right option, MV Commercial offers flexible tractor unit hire for short-term, long-term and contract requirements.
Tractor unit hire is ideal for operators that need additional fleet capacity without committing to an immediate purchase. It can support seasonal peaks, replacement vehicle cover, new contract mobilisation, trailer movement, long-distance haulage and temporary fleet expansion.
Hire can also be a useful option when testing a new chassis type, axle configuration or vehicle specification before investing in a permanent fleet addition. MV Commercial can support hire, lease and rent-to-buy routes depending on your commercial requirements.
6x2 Tractor Units
The 6x2 tractor unit remains one of the most popular choices for UK haulage and distribution work. It provides a strong balance of payload, efficiency, manoeuvrability and operating flexibility, making it suitable for a wide range of articulated transport applications.
MV Commercial supplies 6x2 midlift, 6x2 tag axle and 6x2 twin wheel tag tractor units, depending on the customer’s requirements. These configurations are commonly used for general haulage, supermarket distribution, pallet networks, container work, curtain side trailers, box trailers and fridge trailers.
A 6x2 tractor unit is a strong choice for operators who need a dependable artic unit for everyday 44 tonne work, long-distance deliveries and high-mileage fleet use.
6x4 Tractor Units
For heavier work or more demanding operating conditions, a 6x4 tractor unit provides additional traction and strength. These vehicles are commonly used in construction, heavy haulage, plant movement, abnormal load transport and specialist trailer operations.
A 6x4 tractor unit can be a strong option where the vehicle needs to operate on rougher ground, pull heavier trailers or support demanding applications where traction and durability are essential.
8x4 Heavy Haulage Tractor Units
For the most demanding applications, MV Commercial supplies 8x4 double drive tractor units and heavy haulage tractor units plated up to 150 tonnes.
These vehicles are designed for operators moving large, heavy or specialist loads where a standard 44 tonne tractor unit is not enough. Heavy haulage tractor units are commonly used for abnormal loads, plant transport, construction equipment, machinery movement, industrial transport and specialist trailer work.
An 8x4 tractor unit can be specified with heavy-duty driveline equipment, specialist fifth wheel arrangements, enhanced braking systems, additional fuel capacity, heavy-duty chassis equipment and operational features designed for serious transport work.
Crane Tractor Units
MV Commercial also supplies crane tractor units for operators that need lifting ability as part of an articulated vehicle combination.
A crane tractor unit combines the haulage capability of an artic unit with the self-loading and unloading capability of a truck-mounted crane. These vehicles are ideal for construction, timber, steel, plant, cabin transport, infrastructure, utilities and specialist lift-and-shift operations.
MV Commercial can supply crane tractor units with leading crane brands including HIAB, Palfinger, Cormach, Fassi, Atlas, PM and HMF, depending on the lifting requirement, outreach, stabiliser layout and trailer type.
Our onsite design, fabrication and crane workshops allow us to build and mount crane tractor units around customer requirements, supporting both Ready to Go crane vehicles and bespoke crane tractor builds.
