M LOANE TRANSPORT LIMITED

Overview

M Loane Transport Limited is a haulage company based in Ireland, operating under the historical name Loane Transport Ltd. The company traces its origins to 1928 when it was founded by Victor A Loane, who began transporting petrol in two-gallon cans from Belfast to retailers in County Fermanagh. The business expanded to include livestock and general cargo, with a fleet growing to seven trucks by the 1970s. In 1965, following the de-nationalisation of transport, the company resumed operations. Brian V Loane took over in 1966 and introduced a Leyland Beaver for hauling underground cable covers, later replacing it with a Scania for broader regional and UK-based transport. The business diversified into refrigerated transport across Europe, including Scandinavia and Russia, before ceasing European operations due to agricultural downturns from foot and mouth and BSE. The company now focuses on operations in Ireland and the UK. The name suggests a long-standing, traditional road haulage business with a focus on livestock and refrigerated cargo.
