ADR dangerous goods transport

ADR transport is road carriage of dangerous goods under the applicable dangerous-goods rules. Tell ADR Carriers what you need to move, where it is going and when it must arrive, so the team can assess a suitable transport arrangement.

Request a transport assessment

Which dangerous goods can be considered?

A class alone does not establish whether a load can be accepted. Supply the UN number, proper shipping name, class or division, packing group where applicable, quantity and packaging. Flammable liquids (Class 3), corrosives (Class 8) and miscellaneous dangerous goods (Class 9) each need assessment against the actual substance and load. Explosives, radioactive material and lithium batteries have dedicated enquiry guidance below.

Dedicated and time-critical enquiries

For a dedicated ADR courier enquiry, include the collection and delivery windows, package dimensions, gross weight and loading arrangements. Availability, vehicle suitability and the delivery schedule must be confirmed before booking; an urgent request is not a guaranteed collection time.

Road transport and cross-border planning

UK and European movements require the route to be assessed alongside the consignment. A journey involving a ferry needs separate operator acceptance and the relevant maritime documentation. Customs arrangements do not replace dangerous-goods checks.

Discuss your consignment

Start with the collection, delivery, required date and goods details. If some information is missing, explain what you know so the team can identify the next questions. Acceptance and arrangements must be confirmed before booking.
