Precision Loading for Machinery and Equipment.

Transporting plant and wheeled machinery requires a body that combines brute strength with thoughtful engineering. At Lincoln Commercial Bodies, we specialise in bespoke Beavertail builds designed to streamline your loading process while ensuring maximum safety for both the operator and the cargo.

Engineered for the Load.

A Beavertail is only as effective as its geometry. We don’t believe in “standard” slopes; instead, we calculate the optimum gradient based on the specific equipment you intend to carry.

  • Optimised Approach Angles: Whether you are transporting low-clearance scissor lifts or heavy-duty excavators, we design the “tail” and ramp configuration to ensure smooth, bottom-out-free loading.
  • Structural Integrity: Built with reinforced sub-frames and high-tensile flooring, our bodies are engineered to handle the concentrated point-loads of tracked or wheeled machinery.
  • Versatile Loading: While designed for plant, our Beavertails remain practical for general haulage. The design allows for easy side-loading via forklifts, making them a versatile asset for any fleet.

Safety & Operator Efficiency.

Loading and unloading machinery at the roadside or on a busy site is a high-risk task. Our builds focus on making that process as safe and simple as possible.

  • Heavy-Duty Ramp Options: From spring-assisted manual ramps to full hydraulic systems, we provide lifting solutions that reduce manual handling and speed up turnaround times.
  • High-Grip Surfaces: We offer a variety of flooring options, including expanded metal, treated timber, or “over-lay” high-grip finishes to ensure traction in all weather conditions.
  • Secure Winching & Lashing: Every build includes strategically placed, heavy-duty lashing points and winch mounting options to ensure your load stays exactly where it’s supposed to be.

Compliance & Reliability.

Since 2012, LCB has been a trusted partner for plant hire companies and contractors across the UK. Every Beavertail body is manufactured to Whole Vehicle Type Approval (VCA) standards, ensuring your vehicle is fully compliant with modern safety and weight regulations.

The LCB Advantage: Tell us what you’re transporting—the weights, the wheelbases, and the heights—and we will build a Beavertail design specifically around your payload.
