Crated & Boxed Freight

    Crated Freight Courier UK — Dedicated Same-Day Van From £1.25/Mile

    Crated freight is where pallet networks do the most damage — forklifts, tilts and multiple handlings. A dedicated van is loaded once, strapped once and unloaded once.

    crated freight courier FAQs

    How heavy can a crate be?

    Up to around 500kg with a tail-lift and two people. Beyond that we will tell you honestly that it needs a specialist HGV.

    Is it cheaper than a pallet network?

    Over roughly 100 miles it usually is once you count the damage risk, and it is always faster.

    Do you deliver into a forwarder?

    Yes — deliveries into UK freight forwarders and consolidation warehouses are routine, with the booking reference on the POD.
