Our paperwork

Fryers Transport moves containers from every major UK deep-sea port to destinations across the country. We collect from Felixstowe, London Gateway, Tilbury and Southampton, and deliver nationwide including the British Isles.

We are a family-run haulier, incorporated in 2018, operating a modern fleet with an operations team reachable around the clock. Most of our work is repeat business from freight forwarders and importers who need a haulier that answers the phone and turns up.

Ports we collect from

Our depot sits on Ransomes Europark in Ipswich, roughly twenty minutes from the Port of Felixstowe — the UK's largest container port and the origin of the majority of our work.

We also run regular collections from London Gateway, Tilbury and Southampton, giving importers a single haulier across the south and east coast rather than a different contact at every quay.

What we can carry

20ft, 40ft and 45ft containers across a fleet that includes sliding skeletals, extendable chassis, ultra-lightweight chassis for heavy payloads, sideloader trailers for self-loading, underslung genset trailers for reefers, and extended twistlock trailers for damaged units.

Because the equipment range is broad, the awkward jobs other hauliers turn down — an overweight 45ft, a container with a buckled twistlock, a reefer that must stay powered in transit — usually have an answer here.

Compliance

The fleet is fitted with progressive safety systems meeting the London Direct Vision Standard, so deliveries into the capital are not a problem. A substantial proportion of our vehicles are ADR-equipped for dangerous goods, and we run HVO fuel to cut carbon on customer contracts that require it.

Common questions

Which ports do you collect containers from?
We collect from Felixstowe, London Gateway, Tilbury and Southampton, and deliver throughout the UK including the British Isles.
Do you deliver outside normal office hours?
Yes. Our office is open Monday to Friday 7am to 6pm and Saturday 7am to 11am, but our operations team is contactable 24/7 and the fleet runs to booked schedules outside those hours.
Can you handle overweight containers?
Yes. Our ultra-lightweight 40ft chassis reduces tare weight so more of the gross limit is available for payload, which is often the difference between one load and two.
How do I get a quote?
Call 01473 598228 or email operations@fryers-transport.co.uk with the container size, collection port and delivery postcode. We quote the same working day wherever possible.
