 Products &
Services
The company is divided into two main levels. Attendance
to piling, haulage and the supply of plant and labour compliments
the major contracting side of the company. With these two levels
in place, Joywheel can offer very competitive rates on all labour,
plant and material requirements, along with their provision at
short notice. In essence, Joywheel can act both with the
flexibility of an agency and reliability of a dependable contractor.
Plant
With
a fleet of 8-wheeled tipper lorries, 4-wheeled tipper lorries and
many smaller lorries and vans, along with a low-loader service, Joywheel

old and specialised to work on the railway. We also own many forward-tipping
dumpers, rollers and small plant (compressors, compactors etc.) All
records and certification for the plant is kept up to date, and all
meets the stringent safety requirements for rail working.

staff and trained plant operatives to experienced senior foremen

required training and assessments to achieve CPCS certification.
The majority of our plant operators have a wealth of experience
and are known as some of the most skilled in the industry.

latest legislation.
