FAQ about shipments

I need a freight forwarder in Colchester—what road transport do you offer?
We provide road haulage as your freight forwarder in Colchester, organising collections and deliveries across Essex via the A12/A120 and nationwide. Based on your cargo and site access, we select suitable rigid or articulated lorries for palletised goods, machinery or awkward loads.
I ship via local gateways—can you handle pre‑carriage from Colchester to ports or airports?
Yes, we arrange pre‑carriage and onward carriage by road, for example to and from the Port of Felixstowe, Harwich International Port and London Stansted. We focus on the trucking legs and coordinate a smooth handover at these hubs.
I do not have a forklift at my Colchester site—can you provide a tail‑lift lorry?
Certainly. We can deploy a lorry with tail‑lift for suitable shipments. Please advise the weight and dimensions, and ensure level kerbside space so handling equipment can operate safely at pickup and delivery.
How should I prepare pallets for lorry collection in Colchester?
Please use sturdy, undamaged pallets and secure the load with wrap or straps; label clearly and keep the loading point accessible for the planned vehicle size. Note that we do not exchange pallets at collection or delivery, so you must provide suitable pallets.
