We help our renewables customers face the challenge of out of gauge products such as solar panels and roof mounting rails, Hazardous & Dangerous Goods / ADR requirement for Lithium-Ion Batteries, and the manual handling challenges of 3m long or super heavy products. With our unique experience and expertise we manage the end-to-end distribution, from container de-stuffing, storage and kitting orders. We then deliver your mixed products and pallets directly to wholesalers, installers or even domestic installation addresses.
As a non-network pallet carrier we’ve built our reputation on being genuinely customer-centric. Our hands-on, straight-forward approach means we listen and work in partnership with customers to find solutions for your requirements. We pride ourselves on our great customer service, and strive to go the extra mile.
We understand delivery pressures and that’s why we continually invest in the best people and technology. Our strategically located UK depots are staffed by our own staff, and we provide 24-hour end-to-end visibility and traceability via our bespoke IT systems. From collection to delivery your goods are transported by our own vehicle fleet or selected partners. This gives us complete control over the quality of our service, and provides true peace of mind.
