Your goods are the only items on the vehicle, reducing handling and the risk of loss, damage or avoidable delay.
Flexible loads
Support for light loads, single items and larger palletised consignments, with a vehicle suited to the job.
The purpose of ADR
Protecting people, property and the environment.
Compliance covers the whole journey, not just the driver behind the wheel.
Understanding the requirements
What is ADR?
ADR is the agreement governing the international carriage of dangerous goods by road, historically known as the European Agreement. It sets requirements for moving hazardous materials safely, and ADR rules also underpin domestic road transport requirements in the UK.
The requirements that apply depend on the classification, quantity and packaging of the goods. Before transport, these details need to be clear.
- Appropriate packaging and hazard labelling
- Vehicle standards and relevant safety equipment
- Driver qualifications and transport documentation
From enquiry to delivery
Plan your ADR collection
Sharing the right information at the start helps establish a suitable vehicle, route and collection plan.
-
01
Describe the goods
Have the UN number, proper shipping name, hazard class and packing group where applicable. Include quantities, packaging details and a safety data sheet if available.
-
02
Confirm the journey
Share collection and delivery postcodes, your deadline, load dimensions and weight. Flag access restrictions and any loading or unloading arrangements.
-
03
Arrange direct delivery
Agree suitability and timing with our team before collection. Your accepted consignment then travels directly in a dedicated vehicle, without transfers.

Based in Liverpool, we support local dangerous goods movements and nationwide deliveries. Our network also supports international, cross-border transport, with route requirements discussed for each consignment.
Our wider fleet ranges from small vans to Luton vans. The right ADR transport arrangement depends on your goods, load size and destination, rather than vehicle capacity alone.
For a Liverpool to London delivery or another time-critical route, tell us your deadline when you enquire.

Before you book
Dangerous goods delivery questions
Can you collect dangerous goods for same-day delivery?
Same-day ADR delivery options are available. Collection within 60 to 90 minutes is available across our courier service, but an ADR booking needs confirmation of the goods, a suitable vehicle and a qualified driver first. Call us to discuss urgent availability. You can also ask about next-day scheduling.
Which dangerous goods can you transport?
Our ADR-certified couriers are trained and licensed to handle all classes of dangerous goods. Acceptance of an individual load still depends on its classification, quantity, packaging and route. Provide those details before booking so the transport requirements can be confirmed.
Can you carry a single package or several pallets?
Yes. Our service covers single items, light loads and multiple palletised consignments. Share the package or pallet count, dimensions and total weight, alongside the dangerous goods information, when requesting a quote.
What if I am unsure whether my shipment is dangerous goods?
Check with the manufacturer or supplier and consult the transport information in the safety data sheet, where available. Do not assume a medical or engineering shipment is exempt. Tell us what you need to move so we can discuss the appropriate service, including our medical courier and engineering courier options.
How do I get an ADR delivery price?
Request a quote with the goods classification, load details, collection and delivery locations, and preferred timing. These details help establish the transport needed. Our pricing page provides wider courier information; contact us for your specific dangerous goods movement.
