Shipping Container Collection From UK Ports

When your box lands at a UK port it needs a HIAB vehicle to lift it off the ground, load it and run it to its final destination. We collect from the quayside, holding yard or depot and deliver direct to your door.

Container ships dock at terminals right around the UK coast, and our HIAB fleet collects from all of them. Give us the location, the release details and your delivery address, and we will handle the lift, the haulage and the final placement on site — anywhere in England, Scotland and Wales.

Containers We Collect

20ft standard shipping units
32ft and oversized boxes
40ft standard and high-cube units
Modified and converted units

Port Collection FAQs

Which UK ports do you collect containers from?

All of the major UK container ports and docks, including Immingham, Liverpool, Birkenhead, Felixstowe, Southampton, London Gateway, Tilbury, Hull, Bristol and the Scottish ports. Provide the port name and container release details and we will arrange collection.

What do you need to collect a container from a port?

Typically the port name, the container number and any release or booking reference, plus the delivery address. We will confirm the collection window with you and handle the lift and haulage from there.

Do you deliver the container to my site after collecting it?

Yes — port collection and final-mile delivery are one job. We collect from the port and place the container exactly where you need it, whether that is a site, yard, business premises or private address anywhere in the UK.
