Any dangerous goods, from any estate

Every class we carry, from a single box to a full van

We carry every class of dangerous goods except radioactive, from a single box to a full van. Manufacturing sites send out more dangerous goods than people expect, from cleaning and process chemicals to aerosols, adhesives, gases and batteries, and plenty of those loads are over the limits that let a general courier carry them. The ones we're asked for most in Skem are:

CLASS 1 Explosives Flares, cartridges, perforating charges
CLASS 2 Gases Cylinders, aerosols, refrigerant gases
CLASS 3 Flammable liquids Paints, solvents, fuels, adhesives
CLASS 4 Flammable solids Metal powders, self-reactive substances
CLASS 5 Oxidisers and peroxides Hydrogen peroxide, nitrates
CLASS 6 Toxic and infectious Reagents, pesticides, clinical samples CLASS 8 Corrosives Acids, alkalis, industrial cleaners CLASS 9 Miscellaneous Lithium batteries, dry ice

25 minutes from us

Straight up the M58

Skem is about 25 minutes from us, with no tunnels and no city centre traffic on the way. Junction 26 of the M6 is only two miles from the estates as well, so once your goods are on board they're on the main motorway network within minutes, whether they're heading north, south or across to Manchester.

A typical job

A mixed pallet from a Skem distribution centre

Aerosols and paints heading to a retailer in the Midlands. We check every UN number for segregation before loading, so the whole lot goes in one van rather than being split across two.

FAQs

Questions we get asked

How quickly can you get to Skelmersdale?

It's one motorway from our base, so we can usually be there within the hour of a van being free. Ring us and we'll give you an honest time.

Do I need an ADR courier, or will a normal courier do?

It depends on what you're sending and how much of it. Below certain limits some of the rules relax, but above them you need ADR trained drivers, the right equipment in the van and the right paperwork. Send us the UN numbers and quantities and we'll tell you honestly which side of the line you're on, even if it means you don't need us.
