How much hay fits on a truck?
We specialise in baron packs of small bales and 8x4x3ft big square bales as they are the most efficient ways to transport hay, therefore the cheapest. Using baron packs of 21 small bales we can fit ~20% more bales on a truck which makes freight more efficient and cheaper for you. Our telehandler means we can load trucks quickly and safely.
We do not make round bales due to the inefficiency and cost of freight.
We have a range of truck configurations to help deliver your hay. If our trucks are busy, we have a number of local trusted partners that help us deliver orders.
So, how many bales can we fit on a truck?
| Truck Configuration | No. Small Bales (No. Baron Packs) | No. Big Square Bales |
| Kenworth Body Truck | 378 bales (18 packs) | 18 big squares |
| Mack Superliner Dropdeck | 966 bales (46 packs) | 41 big squares |
| B-Double | 59 big squares |
Note, all of our trucks require 4.2 metres height access and clear entry.
We do offer some local deliveries for smaller order quantities.
