At William Gilder Group (WGG) Hire, we are proud to offer a range of flexible, cost-effective shunting tug hire services that meet the diverse needs of our customers across various industries. Recently, we had the privilege of working with Arrow XL, one of the UK’s leading two-person home delivery and warehousing specialists. Arrow XL hired five of our high-quality shunting tugs, each featuring a bespoke paint job and livery designed to align with their unique branding.

Bespoke solutions: Shunting tugs tailored to you

Thanks to our in-house paint shop, WGG Hire is able to customise shunting tugs according to client specifications. For Arrow XL, this meant delivering five vehicles that not only met their operational needs but also visually represented their brand. Our team worked closely with Arrow XL to ensure that every tug’s livery reflected their corporate identity, providing a seamless blend of function and style.

This level of customisation is just one example of how we strive to offer personalised services that respond directly to our clients’ requirements. Whether it’s matching specific colours, applying branded graphics, or making technical adjustments, our flexible approach sets us apart.

The benefits of shunting tugs

Shunting tugs are increasingly recognised for their efficiency in moving trailers and loads around depots, yards, and storage facilities. Compared to traditional tractor units, tugs offer several key advantages:

• Improved visibility: Designed for precise manoeuvring in confined spaces.
• Reduced wear and tear: No risk of clutch burnout, saving on maintenance costs.
• One-person operation: Streamlines processes and enhances productivity.
• Speeds tailored for safety: Minimises risks in busy yards.
• Faster trailer coupling: Helps save time and boost efficiency.

At WGG Hire, we source shunting tugs from leading industry brands, ensuring that our customers benefit from the latest technology and safety features. Whether you need a short-term hire to cover a peak period or a longer-term solution for a more sustained requirement, we offer flexible contracts to match your exact needs.

Flexible and cost-effective hire solutions

We understand that the logistics and haulage sectors often face rapidly changing conditions, which is why we’ve designed our hire model to be as adaptable as possible. WGG Hire offers both short and long-term hire options, allowing businesses to scale up or down as their operations demand. Whether you need shunting tugs for a few weeks or several months, our flexible agreements put you in control.

And with our in-house technicians on hand to provide year-round support and maintenance, you can rely on the quality of the tugs throughout your hire period. Our workshop, located in Gloucestershire, holds an extensive stock of spare parts, ensuring that any issues are resolved swiftly to minimise downtime.

Our experienced technicians maintain our fleet to the highest standards, ensuring every vehicle is ready for action when it reaches your facility.
