The company was the first of the three trainload companies to introduce a completely new livery. Deliberately breaking with traditional railway colours of Yellow, Green, Red and Blue, Loadhaul introduced a livery of black with orange lower cabsides.

Produced by Venture Design, the livery was also favoured for its practicality. Gloss Black bodysides helped disguise bodyside ripples and oil leaks; Orange lower cab sides helped to hide brake deposits. The logo and livery, with large blocks of colour running across the bodysides as opposed to typical "linear" and "streamline" designs, were designed with the brief to convey the message "Big & Heavy". This livery was unveiled at [[Doncaster Works|Doncaster Locomotive Works]]' open day on 9 June 1994, with 37713 and 56039 being the first locos to wear the livery.

It was the intention of the company to only repaint locomotives where existing paintwork was in poor condition. The paintwork on the Class 60 locomotives was still under warranty and most remained in triple grey livery and received a large body side logo and orange flashes next to the cab doors. However, June 1995 saw 60059 repainted in full Loadhaul livery and named "Swinden Dalesman". Unveiled at the Hillhead Quarry exhibition, the repaint was part of a public relations exercise with Tilcon Roadstone.

Single car route learner DMU number 55012 also received Loadhaul livery, which it carried through the EWS era up to withdrawal. No shunters received Loadhaul livery despite being operated by the company. Inspection saloon number TDM395280 gained a version of the livery. This was all over black with the orange at full height on one end only. A horizontal orange stripe ran the length of the saloon, interrupted for a small logo.

Many wagons were repainted during the company's short existence, with revenue earning stock such as HEA domestic coal hoppers and BDA and BSA steel flats being reliveried during refurbishment. The 40 new MEA open box wagons received a black livery upon completion but didn't feature any orange markings. Many examples of non-revenue earning stock (engineering wagons) were also re-liveried. These included YGB and YGH ballast hoppers, ZFV, ZCA open spoil wagons and a shark brake van.

The fleet of road vehicles working out of Rotherham Steel Terminal received the Loadhaul livery. This consisted of an all-over black livery with small Loadhaul logos on the cab doors then an optional orange flash down the rear of the cab side. The wording "Rotherham Depot" in orange block letters was prominent on the cab headboard. Trailers had orange ends similar to flatbed rolling stock.

Branding of traction depots and yards was also in the design remit. External signage was black with an orange triangle low down in one corner. A small Loadhaul logo featured with the facility name in large white lettering.
