Modern secure warehousing
Arranging for containers to collect freight from anywhere in the world.
 
Organising container shipping from worldwide ports to the UK.

A reliable international transportation partner
Moving palletised or Hazchem products around the UK is demanding enough. Taking pallets abroad adds further challenges and makes it vital to use trusted international haulage companies such as Hacklings. That’s why we’ve built solid partnerships with leading European road haulage businesses and container shipping companies that share our commitment to customer satisfaction.

We’ll do everything from collecting freight anywhere in the world to arranging customs clearance and secure transport from UK ports to our Gloucestershire warehouse. And of course, we regularly accept and distribute freight brought into the UK by European hauliers.

Once a load has reached our Cotswold-based hub, we’ll unload, palletise and store customers’ products in secure, insulated warehousing. We can also provide a complete fulfillment package to save customers the cost of providing their own premises, equipment and dedicated staff.

  • Organising customs clearance
  • Transport from all UK Ports to our warehouse
