Flexible Container Haulage Solutions to Meet Your Needs
We offer a range of container haulage solutions to meet diverse business needs:
- Standard Haulage: This is the most common form of container transport, involving the use of regular trucks and trailers that carry containers over short or long distances. It requires loading and unloading facilities like cranes at ports or terminals.
- Side Loader Haulage: Side loaders use trucks equipped with hydraulic cranes or lifts that can pick up and offload containers from the side. This is ideal for tight spaces or places without loading docks, allowing containers to be directly transferred to the ground beside the truck.
These options provide cost-effective, efficient, and flexible solutions to suit a variety of operational needs. Get A Free Quote Online

FAQs: What You Need to Know About Shipping Container Haulage
What Is Container Haulage?
Container haulage refers to the transportation of large shipping containers using various types of vehicles and equipment. This process is essential to global trade, enabling the efficient movement of goods over long distances by sea, road, and sometimes rail.
Container haulage involves collecting loaded containers from ports or other logistic hubs, transporting them to their destination, and then returning empty containers back to the port or collecting another load. It requires sophisticated coordination and logistics planning to ensure timely delivery and optimise costs.
This service is crucial for industries reliant on importing and exporting goods, as it provides a secure, reliable, and cost-effective method for handling large volumes of cargo under standardised conditions. The use of standardised containers also simplifies the transfer of cargo from ships to trucks without the need to unpack and repack, further enhancing efficiency and reducing handling costs.
How Much Does Container Haulage Cost?
The fees container hauliers charge typically depend on factors like container size, transport distance and any additional handling requirements. At Barrington Freight, we provide competitive rates thanks to our industry expertise and long-standing relationships with reliable container haulage companies in the UK and overseas.
