Specialist Container and Overheight Transport from Felixstowe
Discover unparalleled transport services with TES, your trusted partner for container and curtain side tautliner logistics across the UK and EU.
TES provides reliable container haulage and specialist transport for overheight and non standard cargo. Based close to Felixstowe, we collect from the port daily and cover the whole of the UK and Europe. Whether you are moving a standard container or something that sits above the normal height profile, we have the equipment and experience to move it safely by road.
Our low ride trailers are designed for loads that will not travel legally on a standard trailer. If you have a cargo that is tall, awkward or non standard, we can often provide a safe solution without the need for full low loader heavy haulage. This avoids unnecessary cost and avoids delays associated with permits and escorts for plant or machinery moves that TES does not undertake.
Container Haulage Services
Standard Container Transport
We move 20 foot, 40 foot and 45 foot containers to and from Felixstowe and all major ports. We handle both import and export work for freight forwarders, shipping lines and commercial clients.
Overheight Container Transport
When a container or cargo sits higher than a standard profile, our low ride trailers provide additional clearance. This is ideal for tall loads that must remain inside a container or on a flatrack. We assess your dimensions and route to ensure safe and compliant delivery.
Flatrack and Open Top Container Movement
Non standard containers such as flatracks and open tops often carry industrial equipment or awkward freight. We move these throughout the UK and Europe with clear communication and careful loading support.
UK and European Coverage
From Felixstowe we cover every region of the UK along with regular routes into Europe. Whether it is port collection, warehouse delivery or long distance cross border transport, TES handles the movement in full.
Low Ride Trailer Solutions
Our trailers are lower than standard skeletal trailers which allows us to move loads that otherwise risk striking low bridges or failing height restrictions. This has already replaced the need for low loaders on repeat work for several clients.
