Explore the range

Your load.
The right vehicle.

Browse the van, rigid, articulated and specialist options, then open a vehicle guide for dimensions, body types and loading advice. You can ask for a particular vehicle or let us work from your load details.

Vehicle illustrations show example bodies. We confirm the actual vehicle, usable space, payload and equipment for your booking. Specialist configurations are subject to suitability and availability.

01 / Same-day & dedicated courier

London courier.
A direct delivery.

A London delivery can be short in miles and still depend on a loading bay, security desk and named recipient. We arrange dedicated courier movements around the goods and actual handover. Tell us which deadline is fixed and which entrance receives freight.

Documents, equipment cases, parts and commercial stock

Give the precise collecting business, unit, release contact and reference. Send the complete packed dimensions and individual weights, with protection, upright-only or fragile-goods instructions.

Disclose batteries, chemicals or controlled goods before acceptance. A business address or industry description does not establish suitable loading equipment or permission for every consignment.

Stock, project supplies and suitable pallets

Commercial stock, print, equipment cases and suitable pallets can need a dedicated collection or delivery. Include packaging and projections, quantity and individual weights.

Confirm loading staff, forklift or other equipment and receiving arrangements at both ends. Bulky pieces can need more usable room than compact heavy parts. Discuss crew, placement and heavier freight through the haulage guidance.

Ready time, vehicle and receiving deadline

A van collection in London may be possible in around 45 minutes, subject to the actual location, goods and suitable vehicle availability. Call for an estimate for your job. Rigids, artics and specialist equipment need a separate availability check.

For an office, give the floor, recipient and security procedure. For a shop or industrial unit, send the goods-in entrance and receiving slot. London traffic and loading access can change the plan even on a local movement.

Local collection and onward UK delivery

For the City, West End, Docklands and the outer boroughs, send both full addresses, the actual unit and goods entrance. Local transfers and onward UK delivery are assessed against ready time and the recipient's deadline.

The ready time, route and latest receiving time determine whether a same-day movement is achievable. European work also needs goods documents and customs responsibilities agreed. A collection estimate is not a delivery guarantee.

Updates and repeat collections

Our team remains your point of contact. Live tracking and electronic proof of delivery are available; agree the recipient, updates and any signature, photograph or reference requirement when booking.

Scheduled supplier runs, stock transfers and out-of-hours enquiries can also be discussed. Our phones are answered 24/7/365. Timing, vehicle allocation and site access are confirmed for the booking.

02 / General & dedicated haulage

London haulage.
Planned around the load.

For dedicated pallet transport, heavier engineering freight or a regular trailer movement, Synergix arranges the vehicle and driver around your load, handling and receiving requirements. Options include 7.5t, 18t and 26t rigids, full artics and suitable specialist configurations.

Dedicated pallet transport

Tell us the actual loaded footprint, height, weight and whether the freight can be stacked. A nominal pallet size does not include a crate, machine or packaging that projects beyond it.

We arrange a dedicated vehicle for your palletised goods, with collection, delivery and loading agreed for your job. Our team coordinates the movement and remains your point of contact. Tell us about fragile freight, specific handling or a timed delivery when booking.

Full loads, part loads and repeat work

A full vehicle can support larger consignments, stock transfers, production schedules and loads needing dedicated capacity. Agree the body, floor space, payload and loading order.

Part-load haulage can also be discussed where a suitable arrangement is available. Agree its collection window, delivery plan and handling before booking. For regular work, send your collection frequency, usual volumes, busy periods, site opening hours and return-load requirements.

Warehousing, cross-docking, retail distribution and agreed two-person delivery can be considered as part of a wider transport arrangement. Discuss storage, retail distribution or two-person delivery.

Choose the body as well as the lorry size

Box and curtainsider

A box body uses its specified door opening and loading arrangement. A curtainsider can allow suitable forklift loading from the side. Check clear aperture, side access and restraint; curtains alone are not a universal load-securing system.

Flatbed, crane and mounted forklift

Long material, machinery or a delivery without a forklift may need a different body or handling method. A HIAB-type crane and MOFFETT-type forklift do different jobs. Supply load weights, lifting points or fork access, required reach and site photographs.

Temperature-controlled loads

Specify the product, required temperature, collection condition, packaging and monitoring or handover records. A refrigeration unit changes the vehicle specification; confirm its actual payload and space.

Articulated and specialist trailers

Curtainsider, box, refrigerated, flatbed and specialist trailer requirements are assessed individually. A long or heavy item needs its full dimensions, weight distribution and loading plan checked. The illustrated range does not establish suitability for every load.

Getting it off matters just as much

Confirm a forklift, loading dock, tail lift or other agreed equipment at both ends. For a tail-lift delivery, we need the individual item weight, footprint, all weight on the platform, permitted handling method, load centre and the surface beyond the lift.

When pallet-truck handling is needed for an individual loaded pallet weighing 800 kg or more, request an electric pump truck. This is Synergix's booking requirement. Lower weights can also need powered handling. A tail lift and pallet truck do not automatically solve gravel, slopes, steps or an unsuitable pallet.

Read our tail-lift and pallet-truck guidance.

Timed deliveries and urgent haulage

A booked industrial-unit slot in Park Royal, a factory shutdown or a construction delivery needs more than an arrival postcode. Send the booking reference, goods entrance, vehicle limits, loading method and a contact who can accept the load.

Urgent rigid or artic capacity can be assessed by our team. It does not carry the van collection estimate. Vehicle positioning, loading time, traffic, site appointments and applicable driver-hours limits determine the plan. UK, Ireland and European freight may also need ferry and goods-document arrangements.

Local work. Different requirements.

Transport shaped
by London.

London combines professional services and retail receiving with industrial production, research and major event venues. Central handovers differ from warehouse and yard collections in the outer boroughs. The named organisations establish local context, not Synergix customer relationships. The transport examples help identify the goods, handling and receiving details needed for an enquiry.

West and north-west London

Food, production and distribution

Park Royal supports food manufacturing, logistics, film-related businesses and vehicle trades. A food supplier collection, prop case or palletised consignment needs the actual unit and release contact.

Specify temperature, packed dimensions and item weights. Confirm whether the unit loads by forklift, dock or agreed vehicle equipment. Park Royal is a commercial area, not a Synergix depot.

City and West End

Office equipment, retail and fit-out

Professional services and retail can need documents, IT equipment, boxed stock and shop fittings moved between suppliers and buildings. The receiving desk and goods entrance may be in different streets.

Send the recipient, floor and loading instructions. Protective cases and upright-only items need their handling agreed; final placement, extra crew and installation are separate requirements.

Research and venues

Technology, life sciences and event supplies

London’s economic sectors include life sciences, technology and creative industries. Equipment, technical cases, print and display materials can need timed handovers at campuses or venues.

Describe every sample or regulated product before acceptance. For an exhibition, send the current organiser manual, hall, stand and unloading slot. Public opening hours do not establish freight access.

Wider London: New Malden

Maritime defence supply-chain context

BAE Systems identifies naval combat and ship-control work at New Malden on the London and Surrey border. This is specific wider-area activity, not evidence of a defence factory in every borough.

For ordinary components or tooling, state packaging, release time and receiving procedures. Identify controlled goods and security conditions before acceptance. Named organisations are context, not Synergix customers or approvals.

Local context: London City Hall sectors, OPDC Park Royal.

The last mile matters

Routes, loading
& site access.

The postcode starts the enquiry. The correct street, goods entrance, lawful approach and receiving arrangements complete it. London road charging, HGV permits and site access are different checks.

Separate charging schemes

Congestion Charge, ULEZ and LEZ have different scopes and vehicle rules. The exact address, vehicle and job date determine which apply. Check current TfL information before planning the movement.

Include relevant route charges in the job assessment. An emissions-compliant vehicle does not automatically have permission to stop, enter a restricted street or use a private loading yard.

HGV permits and controlled roads

TfL’s HGV Safety Permit Scheme applies to lorries over 12 tonnes gross vehicle weight in most of Greater London. The London Lorry Control Scheme separately regulates heavier lorries on controlled roads at specified night and weekend times.

Check the actual assigned vehicle and approach. Neither a delivery appointment nor a goods address proves permit compliance, lawful routing or physical clearance.

Red routes and loading bays

Use the signed loading bay, permitted times and vehicle conditions. Goods should be ready and the vehicle should leave when loading finishes. A delivery purpose is not blanket permission to stop on a red route.

Ask the receiving business for the legal unloading location, walking distance and any trolley, lift or crew requirement. Kerbs, steps and narrow doors can change the handling plan.

Venues, cargo agents and controlled sites

An event or cargo handover needs the current receiving instructions, reference and release or acceptance time. Confirm landside goods access and the named agent or organiser.

A general road booking does not establish airside entry, terminal permission or customs services. Send vehicle limits and access procedures before dispatch.

Check TfL road charging, red-route loading and the recipient’s current instructions for your job.

London and surrounding collection areas

Where is your
collection?

We assess collections and deliveries across London and nearby places, with onward UK transport. These are coverage areas, not Synergix offices. Supply the full address, postcode, unit and goods entrance.

Central commercial handovers

City of London, Westminster, Camden, Islington and nearby central districts

Provide the precise building and goods entrance. Central London is a working coverage description, not a single administrative boundary.

East and south London

Hackney, Tower Hamlets, Newham, Greenwich, Lewisham, Southwark and Lambeth

Confirm the actual receiving site and any river-crossing requirements for the vehicle.

West and onward UK movements

Wandsworth, Hammersmith and Fulham, Kensington and Chelsea, Ealing, Hounslow, Hillingdon and the wider boroughs

We assess the whole journey, including surrounding counties and onward UK delivery. These are coverage areas, not branch locations.

A useful enquiry. A clearer quote.

Tell us the job.
We will help plan it.

  1. The two addressesCollection and delivery postcodes, company/unit names, goods entrances and a contact at each end.
  2. What needs movingGoods description, item or pallet count, packaged dimensions, total and individual weights, stackability and photographs where useful.
  3. When it is readyDate, ready time, latest arrival, goods-in closing time and any booked slot or reference. Identify fixed deadlines.
  4. How it will be handledForklift, dock, tail lift, pallet truck, crane or crew at both ends. Include surface, aperture and vehicle-access limits.
  5. Any special requirementFragile finish, temperature, regulated goods, multiple stops, returnable packaging, returns or agreed final placement.
  6. Updates and repeat workYour preferred contact, delivery evidence and, for regular transport, frequency, expected volumes and seasonal peaks.

What affects the price?

Vehicle positioning, loaded distance, vehicle/body type and time at collection and delivery all contribute. Waiting, additional stops, handling equipment, extra labour, route charges and a return journey can alter the quote.

For ferry or European work, route timing and goods-document requirements also matter. We quote the actual movement; there is no single London mileage price that fits every load.

What happens if something changes?

Tell us promptly about an extra pallet, heavier item, delayed release, changed entrance or missed slot. We can reassess the vehicle, deadline and cost before an unsuitable arrangement causes a problem.

An enquiry is the start of the conversation. Vehicle allocation, timing, handling and price are confirmed for the booking.

Before you book

London transport
questions answered.

Courier, timing and delivery

How quickly can you collect in London?

A van collection may be possible in around 45 minutes, subject to the address, goods and a suitable available vehicle. Call with the ready time and deadline for an estimate. Lorries, refrigerated vehicles and specialist equipment need their own availability and positioning check.

Can you deliver from London elsewhere in the UK today?

It may be possible, depending on when the goods are ready, loading time, vehicle position, road conditions and the receiver’s latest acceptance time. Give us both addresses and the actual deadline. We assess the complete movement before confirming a plan.

Will my dedicated courier delivery stay on the same vehicle?

A dedicated courier movement normally stays on the same vehicle between the agreed collection and delivery points, without a parcel-network sorting hub. Tell us about additional stops, a return collection or any unusual route requirement so the arrangement is clear before booking.

Can I call at night, at weekends or on bank holidays?

Yes. Our phones are answered 24/7/365. Call to discuss the movement and confirm the suitable vehicle, handling and receiving arrangements. Someone must be available to release the goods and accept them at the proposed times.

How will I know the goods have been delivered?

Live tracking and electronic proof of delivery are available. Agree the updates and receiving evidence you need when booking, including any named-recipient, signature, photograph or delivery reference requirement.

What happens if collection is delayed or the delivery slot changes?

Contact our team promptly. A later release, changed receiving slot or additional waiting can affect the vehicle, driver schedule, arrival plan and cost. Give us the new ready time and receiver’s instructions so we can reassess the movement.

Haulage, vehicles and handling

Do I need a courier or a haulage service?

Start with what needs moving and the deadline. An urgent component, parcel or suitable pallet may need a dedicated courier. Heavier freight, larger volumes, specialist bodies or repeat work may need a haulage arrangement. Send the load details and we will help you choose.

Can you arrange dedicated pallet transport in London?

Yes, we assess dedicated pallet movements with the vehicle, collection and delivery agreed for the job. Send the loaded footprint, height, individual weights, quantity, stackability and unloading arrangements. Synergix does not offer pallet-network services.

Can you arrange full loads, part loads and regular haulage?

We can discuss full loads, regular work and supported part-load arrangements. The collection window, delivery plan, body, loading method and availability must suit the job. A part-load enquiry is assessed individually; it is not a pallet-network product.

How do I choose the right van or lorry?

Measure each item as it will travel, including packaging, the pallet and any overhang. Give the quantity, individual and total weights, stackability and any orientation limit. We check the actual load space, aperture, working payload, equipment and site access. Vehicle gross weight is not cargo payload.

Can I use LoadCheck before asking for a quote?

Yes. Enter packaged dimensions, item weights and quantities for an initial vehicle-size estimate. Send the result with your enquiry. LoadCheck does not confirm actual vehicle fit, restraint, loading equipment, payload, availability or a booking.

Open LoadCheck

What if the receiving site has no forklift?

Tell us before booking. A suitable tail lift, mounted forklift, crane or agreed handling crew may be an option, but they solve different problems. We need the item weights, dimensions, fork access or lifting points, surface and final placement. Equipment does not come with every vehicle.

When must I request an electric pump truck?

Under Synergix’s booking rule, request an electric pump truck when pallet-truck handling is required for an individual loaded pallet weighing 800 kg or more. Lighter pallets can need powered handling too. Check the lift and platform capacity, footprint, all weight on the platform, ground and handling method. The threshold is not automatic proof of safe handling.

Do goods need packaging for a dedicated journey?

Yes, they need packaging suitable for the goods and the planned handling. A dedicated vehicle does not remove the risk of movement during loading and travel. Protect fragile surfaces, sharp edges and delicate equipment; tell us about upright-only, non-stackable or special restraint requirements.

Can you provide refrigerated transport or event refrigeration?

We can assess both, with the product, temperature and handover requirements agreed. Refrigerated road transport moves goods under an agreed temperature arrangement. Stationary event refrigeration provides storage at a venue. Explain which you need, the duration, access and any power requirement.

London access and local handovers

Can a courier unload outside my London office?

Only where stopping and unloading are lawful and suitable. Send the signed bay, goods entrance, security procedure and final delivery point. A reception address does not establish a loading place.

Does a compliant van avoid every London charge?

No. Emissions rules and the Congestion Charge are separate, and discounts depend on the vehicle and registration conditions. We assess the job using current TfL information rather than assuming that a vehicle is free to enter.

Can you arrange a lorry for a booked industrial-unit collection?

Yes, we can assess general haulage and dedicated pallet transport. Send the unit, ready time, packed load dimensions and weights, forklift or dock arrangements and receiving appointment. Vehicle suitability and London access are checked for the booking.

Do you cover all of London and onward UK destinations?

We assess movements across London and onward UK routes. Give the actual collection postcode, ready time and latest receiving time so the team can confirm availability and whether the requested schedule is achievable.

Price, booking and ongoing work

What affects the price of a London courier or haulage job?

Vehicle positioning, route distance, body and vehicle type, waiting, unloading, handling equipment, additional stops and the deadline affect the quote. Give accurate load and site details. Tell us about changes before dispatch so we can explain any effect on the arrangement or price.

What information do you need to book?

Send both full addresses and goods entrances, contact details, ready time and latest delivery time, item quantities, packaged dimensions, individual and total weights, stackability and loading equipment at both ends. Include access restrictions, references, photographs and any special handling or temperature requirement.

Can you discuss regular deliveries, warehousing or two-person work?

Yes. Give your usual route, frequency, volumes, receiving windows and seasonal peaks. Warehousing, cross-docking, retail distribution and agreed two-person delivery can be considered as part of a wider arrangement. Storage location, handling scope, availability and commercial terms are agreed separately.

Does sending an enquiry confirm my booking?

No. An enquiry starts the discussion. The vehicle, collection and delivery plan, handling, price and booking acceptance must be confirmed. A generated enquiry reference or LoadCheck result does not establish vehicle allocation or successful email delivery.
