UK haulage

UK road haulage from a dedicated domestic fleet

Our UK fleet works domestic traffic in its own right. Full loads, part loads and specialist road haulage nationwide, up to 27 tonnes, from our Cheshire base.

Nationwide coverage

A UK fleet dedicated to domestic work

Our UK haulage fleet is crewed and planned for domestic traffic. It is not spare capacity filling in around something else, which means your delivery is planned on its own merits.

Winsford sits in the middle of the North West motorway network, minutes from the M6 and M56 and within easy reach of Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham and the Midlands distribution belt. Shorter positioning runs cut empty mileage and make domestic work easier to plan.

We move full loads and part loads for manufacturers, distributors and freight forwarders on curtainsiders, including high-cube and sliding-roof trailers for over-height freight. A single pallet for tomorrow morning and a regular weekly trunk are both straightforward to plan.

What we carry

  • Palletised and non-palletised freight up to 27 tonnes
  • Fertiliser and agricultural products, under our FIAS registration
  • ADR and dangerous goods, covered on our ADR haulage page
  • Machinery and out-of-gauge loads
  • Express, timed and standard delivery windows

Fertiliser and agricultural haulage

Delphic is registered under the Fertiliser Industry Assurance Scheme (FIAS), which covers the security, safety and traceability of fertiliser right through the supply chain, from manufacturers and ports to transport operators and stores. Detail is on our fertiliser haulage page.

For growers, merchants and manufacturers, your fertiliser moves with a haulier audited against the scheme's standards, keeping the required documentation and working to the security obligations around regulated products such as ammonium nitrate.

Specialist work

Machinery, out-of-gauge and awkward loads

Not every load fits on a standard pallet. We move machinery and out-of-gauge freight on sliding-roof and high-cube trailers where crane loading or extra height is needed. If you are not sure whether a load is workable, ring the traffic office and describe it. We will tell you straight away.

Dangerous goods transport is covered on our ADR haulage page. If a load needs breaking down, restacking or holding between legs, see warehousing and transhipment.
