Common Pitfalls and How We Avoid Them

ADR compliance

Dangerous goods require correct classification, packaging, labelling, and vehicle and driver certification. We work only with ADR-certified hauliers and ensure the full compliance chain is in place.

Documentation and emergency information

ADR requires specific documentation and emergency information to be carried. We ensure the driver has the correct documentation for the load.

Restrictions and routing

Some dangerous goods are subject to route or tunnel restrictions. We plan routes in compliance with ADR and local restrictions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have ADR-certified vehicles and drivers for chemical transport?

Yes. We work with hauliers who have ADR-certified vehicles and drivers for the transport of dangerous goods by road. We confirm the ADR class and any special requirements for your chemical and ensure the vehicle and driver are appropriate for the load. Documentation, packaging, and labelling must comply with ADR; we advise on the full compliance set for your product.

What documentation is required for ADR chemical transport?

ADR transport requires a dangerous goods transport document (with UN number, proper shipping name, class, packing group, etc.), vehicle and driver ADR certificates, and where applicable tunnel classification and emergency contact information. For international movements, customs documentation is also required. We ensure the driver carries the correct documentation and that the consignee is prepared to receive the delivery.

Can you transport industrial chemicals from the UK to Europe?

Yes. We arrange ADR road freight from the UK to Europe. The driver will need the correct UK export declaration and EU transit documentation in addition to the ADR documentation. We coordinate the full documentation set and advise on lead times including border clearance so you can plan your supply chain.
