European Road Freight Services

Mannson Freight can provide European road freight services on an express (dedicated vehicle) or consolidated trailer service. More than 50% of the UK’s international trade arrives by road freight and we are happy to assist you with your next international or domestic road movement. For time-sensitive moves, we can provide an express service, and if you have an extremely urgent deadline we can even supply additional drivers so that the load keeps moving when one driver has to take a rest break. We will get your goods there on time. We cater for European movements on an FTL (full trailer load) and LTL ( Less than trailer load) basis.

Side loading / unloading vehicles for Sea Freight FCL (Full container loads)

In partnership with one of the UK’s largest providers of speciality vehicles, we are pleased to offer our clients the ability to arrange collection or delivery of your full container load (FCL) sea freight consignments using a side loading vehicle. The vehicle will arrive on-site fitted with specialist equipment to allow the container to be lowered to the ground for loading/unloading of goods. As many UK businesses do not have ready access to loading bays or ramps at their own facilities this service can be invaluable to ensure goods can be loaded/unloaded in a safe and efficient manner.

What is LCL?

^

“Less than Container Load”, when you can’t fill a container you can pay for space in a mixed container with us. We can take care of the unpacking and sorting of goods, customs clearance and delivery to your door.

What is FCL

^

“Full Container Load”, when you have enough product to completely fill a container then you can utilise all the space and hire a container from door to door, we can ship for you and arrange Customs clearance, collection and delivery.

Can I ship Hazardous / Dangerous goods as LCL (Less than container load).

^

It is always preferable to ship Hazardous / Dangerous goods as FCL (Full Container Load), however it is possible to ship as LCL. Hazardous Class 1 (explosive) and 7 (radio-activce) will always be prohibited as LCL, for other hazardous class groups send us a full description of goods along with the MSDS (material Safety Data Sheet) for the goods and we will check if we can handle for you at both ends.
