Groupage is a great way to save on transport costs. Pricing takes into account the size, weight and collection / delivery address of your goods. The more flexible you are on delivery times the lower the freight rates will be. For a tailored quote:
Palletised freight is the most effective way to reduce transport costs and minimise the risk of damage. Goods despatched by groupage services will be transhipped en route and the pallets must be strong enough to withstand the risks associated with moving between different types of transport. Facilities are also available for loose goods suitably packed for transport.
Goods exceeding 3m in length and 1,200kg as a single lift will be subject to additional costs.
