Specialised and project cargo

Some cargo cannot simply be loaded and driven away. Industrial machinery can be heavy or oversized. Fragile and high-value items need careful handling. Dangerous goods need to be moved in line with ADR, the European agreement on the carriage of dangerous goods by road. Temperature-sensitive shipments have to stay within their range.

For this kind of cargo we plan before it moves. That means looking at the route and any constraints along it, deciding how the load will be handled and secured, and preparing the paperwork, including customs entries and any permits the cargo requires. We agree the plan with you first, so there are no surprises on the road.

This work is typical of mining, construction, energy and manufacturing projects, where a late or damaged item can hold up a wider schedule. Give us the dimensions, the weight, the nature of the goods and the destination, and we will come back with a handling plan and a quote. Because these shipments are planned one at a time, we ask for the details early. The sooner we know the size, weight and timing, the more options we can put in front of you for routing, handling and permits. Tell us also about any deadline the cargo has to meet, since that affects the route and how the move is sequenced.
