Coleraine
courier & haulage.

Urgent business consignments

Documents, engineering parts, samples, tools, print, boxed stock and IT equipment can all need a dedicated courier. The smallest suitable vehicle depends on the packaged goods, not the label “parcel”. Send the quantity, dimensions and weights.

A server, delicate prototype or finished component needs packaging that protects it during loading and travel. Tell us if it must stay upright, cannot be stacked or needs a named recipient.

Pallets and bulky items

Courier work can include a suitable pallet or bulky consignment. We check the vehicle aperture, usable space, payload and unloading method. A pallet does not automatically fit a van just because it fits on the floor.

For heavier loads, several pallets or specialised unloading, see the haulage guidance. You can enquire without choosing the lorry first.

Wattstown manufacturing

Medical-device components and production materials

Eakin's respiratory business at Wattstown Business Park includes design, prototyping, mould making, moulding, extrusion and cleanroom assembly. Its commercial goods can range from production materials and tooling to packed finished components.

Give the exact goods description and packaging condition. Specify cleanliness, orientation or handling requirements and identify the receiving team. Medicines, samples or temperature-sensitive contents must be declared separately so the proposed movement can be assessed before acceptance.

Hillman's Way electronics

Electronics and space-component supply chains

KYOCERA AVX's Coleraine operation has space-component qualifications listed by ESA and the manufacturer. Small electronic items can require controlled packaging and item records despite occupying little vehicle space.

Tell us about ESD protection, sealed packs, part identification, declared value and any handling restrictions. Give the authorised receiver and release time. Larger cases and returnable containers still need packaged measurements, weights and a safe loading method.

Loughanhill commercial activity

Foodservice stock and commercial distribution

Lynas Foodservice identifies its Coleraine headquarters at Loughanhill Industrial Estate on Gateside Road. Foodservice and commercial-stock movements require a clear product description, quantities and receiving arrangements.

State the specified transport condition and any monitoring requirement. Ambient, chilled and frozen goods need different planning. Confirm the goods-in slot and contact directly, along with pallet weights, footprints and unloading equipment. Public ordering hours may differ from delivery receiving hours.

River Bann handovers

Harbour goods and marine equipment

Coleraine Harbour is a commercial port on the River Bann, with quays, transit sheds and general bulk-cargo handling facilities. Packed marine equipment and goods for shoreside businesses need their own handover plan.

Provide the recipient, collection or release reference and authorised landside access point. Confirm loading, lifting and the time equipment will be available with the responsible site team. Include awkward dimensions, weight and any contents requiring special acceptance.

A26 connections and the final route

The A26 northern corridor connects Coleraine with Ballymoney, Ballymena and routes towards Antrim and Belfast. Give the full destination and a suitable final approach for the booked vehicle.

Check current signs, restrictions and works rather than assuming a planned improvement is available. Tell us about low structures, weight limits, tight turns and yard space. Include loading and receiving time when considering the full journey.

Wattstown, Loughanhill and Hillman's Way

Give the company, unit and actual goods entrance, including any separate access for commercial vehicles. Send a booking or release reference and a contact who can answer when the driver arrives.

Check dock or forklift arrangements, side-loading space, turning room and the unloading order. Individual pallet footprints and weights matter even when the total load appears straightforward. Confirm whether returnable cases or empty packaging are part of the job.

Town addresses and River Bann approaches

Coleraine's town and industrial destinations may require different approaches around the River Bann. Ask the recipient for the correct delivery entrance and lawful loading position for the booked vehicle.

Explain any shared yard, timed access, narrow street or height limit. A customer entrance or visitor parking area may not be suitable for unloading. Confirm how goods move from the vehicle to their final receiving point.

Coleraine Harbour access and handover

The harbour operates controlled access. Arrange the recipient, permission, release reference and landside handover point before dispatch; visitors must follow the harbour office's sign-in instructions.

Confirm lifting and unloading with the responsible site team. A crane or shed shown in port information does not reserve equipment or create a delivery slot. Coleraine Harbour is distinct from the freight-ferry terminal used for a Great Britain crossing.

Product condition and loading equipment

For medical-device components, electronic parts or foodservice goods, state the exact transport conditions and packaging requirements. Declare restricted, hazardous, battery-containing or temperature-sensitive items before acceptance.

Confirm how goods will be loaded and unloaded. A tail lift has its own platform limits, and pallet trucks need a suitable surface. For a loaded pallet of 800 kg or more requiring pallet-truck handling, request an electric pump truck under our booking rule.

Great Britain crossings and onward delivery

A Great Britain movement needs collection, road travel to the accepted freight terminal, check-in and onward driving after the sailing. Give the final deadline, ready time and receiving hours before booking.

Required information depends on the direction and goods. GB-to-NI simplified processes have conditions. Confirm who supplies the required records and any separate customs arrangements; Ireland destinations or transit need their own assessment.
