At Caunton Engineering, continuous improvement is part of our DNA, which is why we are excited to announce the arrival of three brand new Terberg Shunter Units to support our transport and dispatch operations.

As a leading steelwork fabricator, operational efficiency and safe, reliable material handling are critical to meeting tight project deadlines and maintaining the high standards our clients expect. The introduction of the Terberg Shunter Units represents a significant upgrade to our internal vehicle movements, particularly in supporting the transport of fabricated steel from our production facilities to our trailer park and onward logistics.

One of our drivers shared: “I feel like the king of the road, well at least down to the Cut shack!” he added with a grin. “The cab’s a dream, everything smoother, and I can focus more on what matters: doing the job right.”

These state-of-the-art vehicles are already making a big impact. Since their introduction, the Terberg Shunter Units have developed improvements in several areas:


• Increased Yard Efficiency: Faster trailer switchovers and reduced delays are already being notices across our dispatch area.
• Improved Safety: With improved visibility, braking systems, and modern safety features, our drivers are better protected than ever.
• Driver Satisfaction: Spacious, ergonomic cabs mean our team can work in comfort, even during long shifts.
• Improved Fuel Efficiency

With demand for structural steelwork continuing to grow, the efficiency of our yard and fleet operations is more important than ever. The addition of these specialised vehicles ensures we remain responsive, flexible and competitive – key qualities that set us apart in a fast-paced industry.

The introduction of the Terberg Shunter Units was the result of our internal innovation scheme, which encourages employees to share ideas for improving our operations. This particular suggestion came from our Transport Planner, Ricky Farnsworth.

This reflects Caunton Engineering’s ongoing investment in our people and infrastructure. Our transport team plays a critical role in keeping projects moving on time, and these upgrades are a testament to the value we place on their hard work.

As we continue to grow and take on more complex and demanding projects, the new Terberg shunters ensure we’re not just keeping pace we’re leading the way.

We are proud to continue investing in equipment that supports our people, streamlines operations and helps us deliver excellence from factory to site.
