Overview[edit]

Heavy Torque Magazine

Founded in January 2015, the first issue of HeavyTorque was published following a partnering agreement venture between Nimble Media (now Nimble Publishing Ltd) and the Heavy Transport Association.

Headquartered in Leicester, HeavyTorque is an independently published magazine, featuring those within the heavy transport industry, legal and industry trade bodies and supported by the Association of Lorry Loader Manufacturers & Importers (ALLMI), and the Heavy Transport Association (HTA).

The HTA[edit]

The HTA (Heavy Transport Association), founded in 1983, is an association of the load industry that represents regulations regarding the movement of abnormal loads.

The HTA is also the UK representative member of ESTA, The European Association of Abnormal Road Transport and Mobile Cranes (ESTA), the European arm representing mobile cranes and access platform, rental companies and abnormal road transport companies.[1]

Launch[edit]

Following on from the publication of the 2014-2015 HTA Yearbook, the first issue of HeavyTorque, featuring introduction words from the then Chairman of the HTA, John Rodell MBE, was published.

Featuring ALE's Trojan.[2] (now part of Mammoet's fleet after the completion of the Mammoet/ALE merger[3] in 2020), heralded as the first in the next generation of vehicles for the heavylift industry, as the cover story. The issue also covered ECWVTA (European Community Whole Vehicle Type Approval) legislation[4], the introduction of Euro 6 Emission Regulations and historical transport projects by Econofreight.

The magazine, after its launch in 2015, continues to be published, and features sister titles On Scene Magazine, and Bulk & Tipper.

In 2016, the magazine became media partners with the Heavies Awards and supporters of the FTA (now Logistics UK), FairFuelUK and Transaid, who's patron is Anne, Princess Royal[5]
