ADR is the European agreement that sets the rules for moving dangerous goods by road, covering packaging, labelling, vehicles, driver training and documents. If your goods have a UN number on the safety data sheet, they almost certainly fall under it, and the carrier must work to those rules. Not sure? Send us the SDS and we will tell you.
Yes. Our drivers hold current ADR driver training certificates, and an appointed Dangerous Goods Safety Adviser oversees how we work. Copies of certificates are available on request.
All nine ADR classes, from gases, paints and solvents to corrosives, toxic substances and lithium batteries. Some Class 1 and Class 7 loads need extra controls, so tell us exactly what you are moving and we will confirm what the job needs.
Across Merseyside we aim to collect within 60 minutes of booking. Further afield we give you a firm collection time when you book, with same day and next day options.
You provide a Dangerous Goods Note describing the load. We check it before collection, the driver carries the required emergency instructions, and you receive a signed proof of delivery at the end. If you are unsure what the note should include, ask us before booking.
The consignor, which is usually you as the sender. Goods must be correctly packaged, marked and labelled before we arrive. Our driver checks everything at collection, and if something is not compliant we will explain what needs putting right rather than move it.
We run five van sizes, up to Luton vans with tail-lift, and can arrange 7.5 tonne and larger vehicles through our partner network. Tell us the weight and number of packages and we will match the job to the right vehicle.
Yes. Lithium batteries are Class 9 and we move them regularly, from single units to full loads. Damaged or defective batteries have stricter packaging requirements, so let us know their condition when you enquire.
Yes. We hold an upper tier waste carrier licence, so waste streams that are also dangerous goods can travel with us under ADR, with the right classification, packaging and waste documentation in place before collection.
Every ADR job is priced individually, based on the goods, quantity, vehicle and route. Send the UN number and postcodes through the quote form and we will come back with a fixed price before anything is booked.
Yes. Every job is covered by £100,000 goods in transit insurance, plus public liability insurance. Certificates are available on request.
Non-hazardous, time-critical work on the same dedicated-vehicle model, from Merseyside to anywhere in the UK.
