Tracked Carrier Hire in Reading, Berkshire
Need tracked carrier hire in Reading? Coppard’s range starts with compact 1,200 kg and 2,500 kg tracked carriers and extends to larger tracked crane-carrier equipment for specialist lifting and transport work. Call 0118 979 2828 with the load, access width, terrain and whether lifting capability is required.
The compact Track Carrier 1200 Pro is listed at 750 mm wide with a maximum load of 1,200 kg, while the Tracked Carrier 2500 Pro is 950 mm wide with a maximum load of 2,500 kg. Coppard also lists larger Morooka and other tracked crane carriers with substantially higher load capacities and reach.
Choose the Carrier Around Load, Access and Terrain
Start with what needs to be moved, the maximum load, narrowest access, complete travel route, ground condition and gradient. Then establish whether the job requires carrying only or a tracked carrier with crane lifting capability.
For restricted access, the Track Carrier 1200 Pro is listed at 750 mm wide with a 1,200 kg maximum load, while the 2500 Pro is 950 mm wide with a 2,500 kg maximum load.
Tracks can provide useful traction and load distribution on suitable ground, though ground pressure and surface damage depend on the machine, load, manoeuvring and actual surface conditions. Call 0118 979 2828 with the payload, access width and terrain.

Coppard’s current catalogue lists:
- – Track Carrier 1200 Pro – maximum load 1,200 kg; width 750 mm.
- – Tracked Carrier 2500 Pro – maximum load 2,500 kg; width 950 mm.

The 1200 Pro and 2500 Pro product pages each list a maximum gradient of 45 degrees, though this is a published machine specification rather than a guarantee that every 45-degree slope can be safely traversed. Safe use depends on load, direction of travel, ground and site conditions.
Full specifications for the complete tracked carrier range are listed in the Coppard online catalogue.
Tracked Carrier Hire for Reading Restricted-Access and Specialist Work
Tracked carriers can support material movement where access, ground condition or the need for a crane-equipped carrier makes standard wheeled plant unsuitable. The compact 750 mm and 950 mm machines create a genuinely different restricted-access option, while the larger tracked crane carriers serve specialist lifting and transport requirements.
Choose the machine around the actual site and load rather than inferred geology from the postcode.
Confirm Payload, Width, Gradient and Lifting Requirement
Before booking, confirm the load, access width, working space, route, gradients and ground conditions. If crane lifting is required, tell Coppard at the outset so the appropriate tracked crane carrier and lifting arrangement can be considered.
Legal driving-licence requirements and workplace competence are different issues. The operator must be competent to use the selected mobile equipment safely and any site-specific training or competency requirements still apply.
Call 0118 979 2828 to confirm the exact machine, operator or lifting requirement and transport arrangement.
Why Hire a Tracked Carrier from Coppard?
Coppard’s tracked-carrier range offers something genuinely different from a normal dumper fleet: compact 750 mm and 950 mm carriers for restricted access, plus large tracked crane carriers for specialist lifting and load movement.
Coppard can also supply excavators and other plant through the Reading operation where digging and material movement form part of the same project.
Call 0118 979 2828 with the load, access, terrain and hire dates to check suitable current equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions - Tracked Carrier Hire in Reading
What is the difference between a tracked carrier and a tracked crane carrier?
A compact tracked carrier is primarily used to transport a load through restricted or difficult access. Coppard’s larger tracked crane carriers combine load movement with crane lifting capability and are specified by both maximum load and reach. Tell the Reading team whether the job needs carrying only or lifting as well.
How wide is the Track Carrier 1200 Pro?
The Track Carrier 1200 Pro is listed at 750 mm wide with a maximum load capacity of 1,200 kg. Measure the complete access route and allow adequate working clearance rather than assuming that a 750 mm opening alone guarantees access.
What payloads are available?
Coppard’s compact carriers are listed at 1,200 kg and 2,500 kg maximum loads. The wider specialist tracked crane-carrier range includes machines with substantially higher load capacities, including 8,000 kg, 11,440 kg, 12,050 kg and up to 30,000 kg listings. The correct machine depends on the load, access and whether crane lifting is required.
What should I consider before hiring a tracked carrier?
Consider the load, access width, route, gradients, ground condition, working space and operator competence. HSE mobile-work-equipment guidance explains that risks arising from the mobility of equipment must be managed in addition to normal work-equipment requirements, including suitability, training, maintenance and rollover risk. Give Coppard’s Reading team the site and load details before the machine is selected.
