Shipping Container Collection From UK Ports

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

Cargo ships dock at terminals right around the UK coast, and our 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.

Units 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 from?

All of the major UK container docks, including Immingham, Liverpool, Birkenhead, Felixstowe, Southampton, London Gateway, Tilbury, Hull, Bristol and the Scottish terminals. Give us the dock name and your release details and we will arrange collection.

What do you need to collect a box from the dock?

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

Do you deliver to my site after collecting it?

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