Ultimate Movers - Season 1

The Amazon fulfilment centre in Bolton is the size of five football pitches and has a few technological tricks up its sleeve, to ensure that millions of items, of all shapes and sizes, reach our letter boxes on time and intact. It's time to find out just how they do it. While in Suffolk, a team of petrol heads are gearing up for a truly monster move as they prepare to transport the heaviest working monster truck on the planet. And finally, after 25 years maturing, some of Scotland's finest whiskey must make a one-hundred-and-eighty mile road trip in order to end up on our supermarket shelves.

As the UK's largest bronze sculpture berths at Plymouth docks, the team at King's haulage prepare to guide her through the tight city streets to her final resting place, but standing at seven meters tall and nine meters wide means it's going to be a squeeze. In Berkshire a vintage steam fair has to make tracks in order to be ready for the first show of the summer season, and the race is on to deliver a herd of Lego dinosaurs to Marwell Zoo.

On the isolated island of Hoy, a world war two anti-aircraft gun must be deconstructed before setting sail to the mainland, but with years of corrosion slowing the team down will they have time to make the ferry or end up being marooned? In London, a team of ice couriers must deliver a one tonne ice sculpture to Manchester on time and intact, while in West Sussex it won't be plain sailing, as a new concept in floating homes travel hundreds of miles to York.

The largest big top circus tent in the UK needs to move town, but with 22 arctic lorries to fill with gear, the teams need to work late into the night to stay on schedule. However, despite their best efforts, a breakdown on the motorway threatens opening night. In Germany, a brand-new flat pack house must travel hundreds of miles to its new home in Nottingham, while in Wakefield a one-hundred-ton Economiser has a ferry to catch. The question is, will it be able to board?

A 32-metre long beer tank must navigate tiny roads to be installed at a brewery in Tadcaster, while in Kidderminster, a vintage steam train travels hundreds of miles south to Devon.

A 40-tonne boat called King Arthur needs moving from Bristol, while in Essex, a number of vintage cars must be carefully transported to a sales fair.

On the south coast, heavy haulier Chris Bugler must transport the largest cargo of his life as a ten-tonne yacht mould must sail the tight streets of Dorset to Poole Port. However, this won't be an easy voyage as low bridges and parked cars stand between him and his final destination. At Santa Pod, the fastest movers in Europe go head to head as they compete for first place on the drag racing track. While up north, the god of trade, Hermes, has another half a million packets and parcels to sort and deliver.

In Scotland two humongous crane beams must be transported over 450 miles to Shoreham Port on the south coast of England, but with each weighing in excess of 25 tonnes and measuring an incredible 37 meters long, this promises not to be your typical drive south. Meanwhile, in Bristol's Avonmouth Dock, another crane, measuring 50 meters, must be uprooted and moved in order to start a new life, wowing revellers at Glastonbury's famous festival. Finally, in Immingham tonnes of fresh fish must be delivered intact and on time to Grimsby's famous fish market.
