William Thompson & Son

William Thompson and Son currently operate a fleet of twenty Scania lorries from their operating centre at Birch Road, Dumbarton. The fleet is comprised of tipper lorries to deliver the supply of quarried products and transport inert materials to Riggangower landfill site which is next to Sheephill Quarry also operated by the company. The tippers range from 6 wheeled (26000kg gross weight) and 8 wheeled tippers (32000kg gross weight) which gives flexibility in both carrying capacity and maneuverability on tight sites Tipping lorries are available for hire on an hourly basis or a rate per load. All waste is carried under our waste carriers licence conditions. In addition we operate two Scania tractor units which are used for both in-house lowloader moves and bulk delivery of our quarried products or on a hire basis for abnormal loads up to a gross weight of 70000kg.
