Tail lift delivery to Holland, Luxembourg, Belgium and Western Germany

We are often asked to arrange a tail lift vehicle for collections and deliveries in Europe.

Through our Dutch partners we can provide you with a tail lift trailer service throughout the Benelux countries (Holland / Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg) and most of Western Germany.

Delivery on a tail lift truck / trailer is a very practical form of delivery for companies that want to receive a large delivery but do not have their own fork lift truck or off loading facilities.

We regularly use tail lift trucks to deliver to exhibitions, conferences, events, shopping centres, building sites, museums, city centre locations, private residences, power stations, factories, ports and un-manned warehouses.

We would be happy to quote you for :

Tail lift delivery to Belgium
Tail lift transport to Holland
Tail lift trailers to Luxembourg
Tail lift trucks to Western Germany

Why using an independent freight forwarder can be good for your business

Freight and shipping are multi billion pound industries in the UK. In 2012, DHL for example posted revenues of EUR 13.4 billion. There are many other large operators in the industry at a similar level, but how should you choose your freight forwarding company? Should you choose a larger company global company or would a smaller independent freight forwarder be better for you?


The decision to go with a smaller freight forwarder has several benefits. Firstly, a smaller freight company will have lower overheads and expenditure. The bigger companies generally only operate at fixed prices and with fixed supply channels whereas smaller companies have the freedom to use a wider variety of suppliers and can often do the same job at a lower rate without compromising quality of service.


Secondly, a smaller freight forwarding company will offer a more personal and bespoke service. We have all suffered the feeling of being "just a number" while dealing with large companies. Many smaller freight companies  will be dealing a smaller client base and many will know their clients by the sound of their voice on the telephone.


There are not any freight companies that operate solely on their own trucks, ships and planes, some might have sole agency agreements but most will sub contract services at some point within the shipment. Many large freight forwarders have bulk throughput discounts with certain carriers which limits their choice of carrier and can limit the transit times and price. Even in 2012, many European countries are still very regionalised. A smaller freight forwarder will be able to save costs by using locally based hauliers rather than having to use a depot and hub system.


How would you guarantee the professionalism of a freight company? Many freight companies are member of BIFA (British International Freight Association) this means that they:


* Incorporate The BIFA standard trading conditions into international freight contracts.
* Maintain a freight liability insurance policy
* Demonstrate competence and understanding of the international freight industry
* Abide by the BIFA Code of Conduct

For more information please see the publication - http://www.bifa.org/_attachments/Resources/1470_S4.pdf




By using a smaller freight company you will be ensuring  that you are given a more personal service, with more service choice and often at a better freight price.
