Our team is fully ADR certified, which means we’re trained to handle and transport dangerous goods according to strict regulations. We cover a wide range of hazardous materials, from flammable liquids to corrosive substances. We don’t transport explosives (Class 1) or radioactive materials (Class 7) – those require even more specialized handling.

Understanding Dangerous Goods Classification

Dangerous goods are split into 9 main classes. These include things like gases, flammable liquids, and corrosive materials. You might be surprised to learn that some everyday items fall into these categories. Batteries, aerosols, and even some perfumes can be classed as dangerous goods when shipped. Knowing which class your goods fall into is crucial. It determines how we need to package, label, and transport them. For example, a flammable liquid needs different handling than a corrosive substance. Our team is trained to identify and properly manage all types of dangerous goods we transport.

Our advanced tracking system provides up-to-the-minute information on your shipment’s location and estimated delivery time.

Packaging and Documentation Requirements

Proper packaging is crucial when it comes to transporting dangerous goods.

We can provide guidance on the right packaging for your goods, or if you prefer, we can handle the packaging ourselves to ensure it meets all regulatory standards. Our packaging guidelines are designed to meet and exceed industry standards for safety and compliance. Documentation is another critical aspect of dangerous goods shipping. Each shipment needs to be accompanied by the right paperwork, including a detailed description of the goods, their hazard class, and proper handling instructions. We’re experts in preparing this documentation, ensuring that your shipment complies with all relevant regulations. Our team stays up-to-date with the latest regulatory requirements to ensure your shipments are always compliant. Here’s a quick rundown of some key documents you might need:

Cost Considerations for Dangerous Goods Shipping

Shipping dangerous goods does typically cost more than standard shipping. This is because of the extra care, equipment, and expertise required to transport these materials safely. The cost of professional dangerous goods transport is far outweighed by the potential risks and liabilities of improper shipping. Our pricing structure is designed to provide value while ensuring the highest levels of safety and compliance. Several factors can affect the price of dangerous goods shipping. These include the type and quantity of goods being shipped, the distance they need to travel, and any special handling requirements. For example, temperature-controlled transport or same-day delivery might incur additional fees. We offer customized solutions to meet your specific needs and budget. While we can’t list exact prices here (as they vary depending on your specific needs), we always aim to provide transparent pricing. We’ll break down all costs for you upfront, so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Remember, with dangerous goods shipping, the cheapest option isn’t always the best.
