building/ upgrade a small road track

are they not for cars? ie upto 3.5 tone and not 44 tone
You want to build a road for a 44 tonne vehicle to pass along in the winter?

Any fertile material will need removing first as all the hard core and all the will in the world, wont stop a 44 tonner from sinking. You will then need a bed layer of large gear, i.e. brick sized or larger grade hardcore. This will need compacting (roller). Then a finer layer compacted on top.
 
And do you know of any one? Manchester based that is?
You find farmers all over the place. Heavy recovery firms are another possible. In truth an obliging driver on the unit will get an empty trailer into some pretty unlikely places though some are proper jobsworths and refuse to do anytthing other than drive along a road,

We still don't what you're trying to do though: one off, occassiona or frequent as and that will affect the answer dramatically.

Though I said that above. But this is indeed a one off job
 
I will take a video of it next time i am there and upload it for you to see
Joy.
So how much should a wagon load of crush cost me then?
No idea. What is crush? Where is the job? Is it remote? What size wagon?

If I was building a road, I'd have the largest (wieldy) machine I could hire along with a road roller and a dumper and have somewhere to dump the spoil.
 
Few hundred used 3x2 concrete paving slabs will do it if you have the time to wait for them to come up locally and transport to collect them.
