Moving any kind of freight from port to its final destination can be complicated. For a lot of businesses, it means hiring one company to handle container haulage, arranging separate storage, and then trying to find a different haulage company to handle the final deliveries. The problem is, every time your goods change hands, you lose a bit of control, risk costly delays, and end up chasing multiple despatchers just to get a simple update.

At Hayward Transport, we take a much simpler approach: we keep the whole transportation job under one banner. Combining our container haulage and general haulage operations, we cut out frustrating handovers and the paperwork that comes with them. With our “Yes We Can” ethos, whatever your needs are, we will find a way to help you. 

Whether you’re a prospective client looking for a new logistics partner or an existing one hoping to simplify your supply chain, you can rest assured that your cargo stays in our trusted hands, from the docks all the way to the final drop.

When you rely on separate contractors for different legs of a journey, you naturally introduce risk. A delay at the port with your container transport can easily throw off the schedule for your next freight distributor. This can result in warehousing bottlenecks, missed delivery slots, and overall, spiralling costs. Every handover point between two different haulage companies is an opportunity for miscommunication. For operations or logistics managers, this lack of synergy is a constant source of stress.

One of the key benefits of working with Hayward Transport is that we’re equipped to manage your cargo’s whole journey. Our comprehensive fleet, secure storage facilities, and advanced telematics mean we can handle every step of the transportation process. 

So, what does a unified haulage solution look like in action?

Picture a large shipment of retail goods arriving at Liverpool port. Instead of hiring one company to move the container, a second to store it, and a third to distribute the goods, Hayward’s handles it all. First, our container haulage team collects your goods directly from the port using our modern fleet of skeletal trailers, and transports your container to our 24/7 monitored container storage facility in Liverpool.

Once at our container depot, your container is safely lifted and stored in our secure yard. When you are ready, our experienced team breaks down the cargo for delivery. The goods are loaded onto our diverse general haulage fleet for seamless nationwide distribution. There are no handovers to third parties, no unnecessary delays, and no breakdown of communication. You know where your goods are as soon as they arrive on UK soil.

This level of logistics synergy is just as important for bespoke and heavy cargo. Suppose that you’re importing oversized industrial or agricultural plant equipment or machinery. Our container transportation team collects the imported machinery directly from the port and transports it safely in its container to our secure container storage yard. Once the cargo is ready for the next leg of the journey, it’s seamlessly transferred to our specialist low loader transport for safe, compliant delivery to the end users. We provide the specialist trailer, lifting equipment, and the highly trained personnel needed at every stage of the journey.

Widely recognised as “The People’s Haulier” with over 100 years of business heritage, our ethos has always been centred around putting people first and taking a “Yes We Can” approach to everything we do. Operating an extensive modern fleet, we have the flexibility and capacity to meet your demands. With FORS Gold accreditation, state-of-the-art live tracking, and ISO 9001 certification, your cargo is always visible and expertly handled from start to finish.

Why complicate your supply chain when you can rely on one trusted partner to do it all? At Hayward’s, bridging the gap between container haulage, general and specialist haulage is what we do best!
