Cheesewedge Trucks for Sale and Hire in the UK

MV Commercial supplies specialist cheesewedge trucks for sale, hire, lease and rent-to-buy across the United Kingdom.

Our cheesewedge truck range includes new, used, late-registration, ex-hire and bespoke-built vehicles designed for plant transport, construction, machinery movement, access equipment, groundworks, utilities, infrastructure and specialist haulage. These vehicles are built to make loading and unloading plant easier, safer and more efficient, particularly where operators need a lower loading angle than a standard flatbed or dropside body can provide.

Available from 7.5 tonnes to 32 tonnes, with body lengths from 18ft to 30ft, MV Commercial cheesewedge trucks can be supplied with or without cranes depending on the type of work you do. Whether you need a compact plant carrier for local deliveries, a 26 tonne cheesewedge for plant hire work, or a 32 tonne crane cheesewedge for more demanding lift-and-shift applications, MV Commercial can help you source, build, hire, finance and support the right vehicle.

New and Used Cheesewedge Trucks

MV Commercial supplies a wide selection of cheesewedge trucks from leading manufacturers including DAF, Volvo, and Scania,  Our stock can include 26 tonne and 32 tonne cheesewedge vehicles, with both crane and non-crane options available depending on stock and customer requirements.

Our cheesewedge stock includes vehicles built by MV Commercial, part exchange units, ex-fleet vehicles and off-hire trucks from our own hire fleet. This gives operators access to dependable, proven vehicles with practical specifications and strong value. For businesses that need a vehicle quickly, our Ready to Go trucks can help reduce lead times and get equipment moving sooner.

A cheesewedge truck is a strong choice for operators who regularly move compact excavators, dumpers, rollers, powered access equipment, generators, compressors and other plant machinery. The specialist body design makes loading more controlled and practical, particularly on busy sites where speed, safety and ease of operation matter.

Cheesewedge Truck Hire

If buying outright is not the right option, MV Commercial offers flexible truck hire for cheesewedge trucks and specialist plant vehicles. Hire is a practical route for companies that need additional capacity without committing to a full vehicle purchase.

Cheesewedge truck hire is often used by plant hire companies, construction contractors, utilities operators and infrastructure businesses that need vehicles for short-term projects, contract mobilisation, seasonal demand or replacement cover. It can also be a useful way to test a particular specification before committing to a purchase.

MV Commercial can support short-term hire, long-term rental, contract hire, lease and rent-to-buy options depending on your requirements. This gives your business flexibility, whether you need a single temporary vehicle or a longer-term fleet solution.

What Is a Cheesewedge Truck?

A cheesewedge truck is a specialist plant transport vehicle designed with a low-angle loading body and integrated ramp system. The wedge-shaped profile combined with Fruehauf engineering helps reduce the loading angle, making it easier to drive or winch plant and machinery onto the body.

This type of vehicle is especially useful for operators moving equipment that requires safe, efficient drive-on loading. Instead of relying on steep ramps or separate loading equipment, a cheesewedge body gives a more practical loading approach for compact plant and machinery.

Cheesewedge trucks are commonly used for transporting excavators, dumpers, rollers, access platforms, tracked machinery, compressors, generators, landscaping machinery and groundworks equipment. For many plant hire and construction businesses, they provide a practical alternative to a standard flatbed, especially where regular loading and unloading is part of the working day.

Cheesewedge Trucks with Cranes

MV Commercial supplies cheesewedge trucks with and without cranes. A cheesewedge truck with a crane gives operators additional flexibility by combining low-angle plant loading with lifting capability.

This type of vehicle is particularly useful where equipment, attachments, welfare units, materials or machinery need to be lifted as well as transported. For operators working across construction, utilities, rail, infrastructure or plant hire, a crane cheesewedge can reduce the need for separate lifting equipment on site.

MV Commercial can fit cheesewedge trucks with cranes from leading manufacturers including HIAB, Palfinger, Cormach, PM, Fassi, Atlas and HMF. Crane options can range from compact lifting equipment through to heavy-duty cranes with greater outreach and lifting capacity. Remote control systems, stabilisers, lighting packages and safety features can also be specified to suit your operating environment.

Explore crane trucks, HIAB crane trucks, Palfinger crane trucks and Cormach crane trucks.

Non-Crane Cheesewedge Trucks

For operators who only need plant loading and transport capability, a non-crane cheesewedge truck can be a strong choice. Without the additional weight of a crane, operators may benefit from improved payload, simpler maintenance requirements and a more straightforward body layout.

A non-crane cheesewedge is ideal for plant hire delivery, local machinery movement, construction equipment transport and general site support. These vehicles are particularly useful where the machinery being moved can be driven directly onto the body and does not require lifting into position.

MV Commercial can help specify the right body length, ramp arrangement, payload and chassis for your operating requirements. Whether you need a lightweight urban plant carrier or a larger rigid for regular site-to-site movement, the specification can be matched to your working needs.

26 Tonne Cheesewedge Trucks

A 26 tonne cheesewedge truck is a popular choice for plant hire companies, construction operators and specialist transport businesses. It offers strong payload, good body length options and the ability to carry larger machinery while remaining more manoeuvrable than a full 32 tonne truck.

A 26t cheesewedge is well suited to excavators, dumpers, rollers, access equipment, groundworks plant and medium-sized machinery. It can be specified with or without a crane depending on whether the operator needs lifting capability as well as plant loading.

For many businesses, a 26 tonne cheesewedge provides the right balance of strength, body length and usability. Explore 26 tonne trucks and ready to go trucks.

32 Tonne Cheesewedge Trucks

For heavier plant movement, a 32 tonne cheesewedge truck provides increased carrying capacity and greater operational flexibility. These vehicles are designed for more demanding plant transport applications where payload, strength and body space are key priorities.

A 32t cheesewedge is well suited to larger excavators, heavy dumpers, rollers, compactors, access platforms, infrastructure machinery and construction equipment. When specified with a crane, a 32 tonne cheesewedge can become a highly capable lift-and-shift vehicle for demanding site work.

Explore 32 tonne trucks, crane rigids and crane trucks.

Popular Chassis Options

MV Commercial supplies cheesewedge trucks on leading chassis from major manufacturers including DAF, Volvo, and Scania. The right chassis depends on payload, body length, crane requirement, operating terrain, driver preference and availability.

DAF cheesewedge trucks are a practical choice for operators looking for proven reliability and strong bodybuilder compatibility. Volvo chassis are often selected for heavier-duty plant transport and demanding site conditions, while Scania is popular with operators who want a premium chassis with strong driver appeal and road presence.

Body Lengths from 18ft to 30ft

MV Commercial cheesewedge trucks are available with body lengths from 18ft to 30ft. Choosing the right body length is important because it affects the type of machinery the vehicle can carry, the loading layout, wheelbase, manoeuvrability and overall usability.

A shorter body may be better for compact sites, lighter plant and urban work. A longer body gives more flexibility for carrying larger machinery, multiple items or mixed equipment. The best specification depends on the type of plant being transported and the locations the vehicle will operate in.

MV Commercial can advise on the right body length, ramp layout, load restraint, storage and safety equipment based on your operation.

Built by Fruehauf 

MV Commercial's sister company Frueahuf builds a range of cheesewedge trucks based on its own designs, with the ability to tailor vehicles to customer requirements. Our in-house capability supports specialist vehicle builds across crane trucks, plant trucks, cheesewedges, beavertails, hydraulic beavertails, crane rigids and crane artics.

For cheesewedge trucks, this can include chassis sourcing, body design, fabrication, sub-chassis work, ramp and body installation, crane installation where required, hydraulic systems, electrical systems, lighting, safety equipment, fall arrest systems, camera systems, paint, livery and final preparation.

By managing more of the build process in-house, MV Commercial can supply cheesewedge trucks that are practical, durable and built around real operating requirements. This is particularly important for plant transport vehicles, where body layout, loading angle, payload, strength and usability all need to work together.

Available options may include alloy wheels, truck lighting, work lights, beacon bars, fall arrest systems, camera systems, reverse cameras, side scan equipment, toolboxes, chain storage, load restraint, hydraulic equipment, paint, livery, Chapter 8 markings and fleet branding.

Safety and Compliance

Modern cheesewedge trucks often need to meet strict site, road and fleet requirements. MV Commercial can supply cheesewedge trucks with equipment to support FORS and Crossrail safety standards, depending on the specification and operating environment.

Safety and compliance options can include camera systems, side scan systems, reverse cameras, audible warning systems, fall arrest systems, work lights, beacons, Chapter 8 markings, load restraint equipment, reflective markings, Euro 6 chassis options and remote crane controls where applicable.

The right safety specification helps support safer loading, transport and unloading across construction sites, public roads and restricted-access areas.

Ready to Go Cheesewedge Trucks

When lead times matter, MV Commercial’s Ready to Go trucks can help operators access specialist vehicles quickly.

Ready to Go cheesewedge trucks are ideal when you need to replace a vehicle quickly, start a new contract, increase fleet capacity, avoid long factory lead times, support plant hire demand or secure a vehicle already in build.

Depending on your requirements, funding options may support new cheesewedge truck purchases, used cheesewedge truck purchases, fleet expansion, replacement vehicles, contract mobilisation, multi-vehicle orders, rent-to-buy options and long-term hire.

Whether you need one cheesewedge truck or a fleet of plant transport vehicles, MV Commercial can help match the right vehicle to the right funding route.
