Hit the dock at the right minute. We move high-value AV and staging kit with flight case handling, venue etiquette, and multi-stop routing. From conference sets to tours and festivals, our AV-trained crews deliver safe, quiet load-ins and get you out on time.
We work from your call sheet and advance notes, then schedule vehicles and stand-by to match your dock slots.
Since the UK left the EU on 31 January 2020, every load going out or coming back needs an entry, and we do ours in house rather than through a broker who has never met the driver. Customs clearance covers import and export declarations, ATA Carnets, T1 transits, GMRs and Port Passes. We need a Power of Attorney signed by a company official first. Where you have no EU entity we may be able to provide an exporter or importer of record. It is not cheap.
We have carried event kit into ExCel, The O2, Alexandra Palace, the Tower of London and a good number of fields and castles in between, and we still criss-cross Europe at a moment's notice for the ones that come up late. Vehicles run from Renault Trafics up to an 18 tonne DAF with a 2.5 tonne cantilever tail lift, all with air ride, load lok, shoring poles and blankets. Drivers work rather than watch. Import and export customs, including ATA Carnets, is handled in house.
Export case packing means a bespoke wooden crate built round the item rather than the item forced into a box, and it is what you need when goods are going worldwide by multi mode transport and will be handled by people you will never meet. Crates are made from certified and treated timber, any size, with screwed lids and one screwed side so the contents come out without a crowbar. Inside, polystyrene or foam inserts and anti-static bubble bags. ShockWatch and TiltWatch labels go on the outside.
Pro audio and AV transport since 1996, for sound engineers, production and tour managers and the bands themselves. We have traversed most of the mountain ranges and sailed most of the ferry routes, from a backline delivery to the bottom of a ski slope in Davos for MTV Winterjam to an urgent mixing desk swap out in Belfort for the Eurockéennes festival. Air ride vehicles, load lok and E-track at three levels, aluminium ramps or tail lifts. We sort the carnets in house.
Secure transport, for us, means the vehicle, the driver and the handling kit all belong to Secure Transportation, so there is nobody in the chain we have not trained and nobody we cannot get hold of at two in the morning. Vehicles are plain and unsignwritten, fitted with Thatcham approved deadlocks and remote engine immobilisation, and tracked to street level anywhere in Europe. Much of our work sits under mutual NDAs. ISO 9001:2015 accredited, RHA members, registration number 012412.
This is what the business was set up to do in 1996, a same day express courier service, and we still criss-cross the UK and Europe at a moment's notice for the jobs the trade calls a special. It is what you want when an overnight pallet or parcel service is quite simply not good enough. One vehicle, your goods only. Tracked to street level anywhere in Europe, with live tracking to your desktop or phone. Support anywhere in Europe within 24 to 48 hours after the word go.
UK transport coverage runs out of two bases, one at London Heathrow at the heart of the UK colocation datacentre industry and the other near Farnborough Airport about 30 minutes away, which puts most of the country inside a straightforward day's drive. We run 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, and vehicles are tracked to street level. The M25 corridor is our back garden. Everything north of that is a day out and we plan it as one.
We run two warehouses. One is at Hayes next to London Heathrow, at the heart of the UK colocation datacentre industry, and the other is our Farnborough Airport headquarters half an hour away in Hampshire. Between them there are 850 racked pallet spaces, 150 out of gauge floor spaces and four pre-staging racks with power and full fibre, so vendor deliveries can come in, sit on our warehouse management system, be built and tested, and go out to site on our own vehicles.
