ADR COURIER AND DANGEROUS
GOODS TRANSPORT

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
- ADR Classification Expertise
We handle goods across multiple ADR classes, understanding the specific requirements for each. Whether you’re shipping Class 3 flammable liquids, Class 8 corrosives, or Class 9 miscellaneous dangerous goods including lithium batteries, we know the rules that apply.
- Lithium Battery Transport
Lithium batteries present particular challenges due to their classification as dangerous goods. We transport lithium ion and lithium metal batteries in compliance with current regulations, whether shipping battery packs, devices containing batteries, or cells for recycling.
- Chemical and Laboratory Samples
Laboratories, research facilities, and chemical suppliers need reliable transport for samples, reagents, and compounds. Our hazardous goods courier service handles these consignments with proper classification, packaging, and documentation throughout.
- Flammable Materials
From industrial solvents to aerosols, flammable goods require careful handling and compliant transport. Our drivers understand the specific requirements for Class 3 goods, ensuring your consignments travel safely and legally.
What ADR classes do you handle?
We transport goods across most ADR classes, including Class 3 (flammable liquids), Class 8 (corrosive substances), and Class 9 (miscellaneous dangerous goods including lithium batteries). Some restrictions apply to certain high risk categories. When you contact us with your requirements, we'll confirm whether we can handle your specific goods.
Do your drivers hold ADR certification?
Yes, without exception. Every driver assigned to dangerous goods transport holds a current ADR driver training certificate. This certification requires specific training and examination covering dangerous goods regulations, safe handling practices, and emergency response procedures. It's renewed every five years.
Can you help with dangerous goods documentation?
Dangerous goods transport documents must include specific information about the goods being shipped, emergency contacts, and handling instructions. We help ensure your documentation meets requirements, reducing the risk of delays, rejections, or compliance issues during transport.
What about packaging requirements?
Dangerous goods must travel in UN approved packaging appropriate to their classification. If you're unsure about packaging requirements for your goods, we can advise on what's needed. Getting packaging right is essential for both compliance and safety, so we'd rather discuss it upfront than discover problems at collection.
Do you transport lithium batteries?
Yes. Lithium batteries are classified as dangerous goods and we handle them regularly. Whether you're shipping loose cells, battery packs, or devices containing lithium batteries, we ensure transport complies with current regulations. This includes proper packaging, documentation, and vehicle requirements.
How do I know if my goods are classified as dangerous?
If your product has hazard labels, safety data sheets mentioning transport classification, or UN numbers, it's likely classified as dangerous goods. When you're unsure, share the product details and safety data sheet with us. We'll help determine the classification and what transport requirements apply.
