Choosing the right UK haulage partner can make or break your supply chain. When it comes to logistics, reliability, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness are paramount, so to ensure the success of your business, you need a logistics partner that delivers on all of these fronts. This is where Hayward’s comes in.

With a reputation as the people’s haulier, a track record of excellence, state-of-the-art fleet management systems, and most importantly, a commitment to customer satisfaction, there are a number of key reasons why Hayward Transport stands out as the ideal choice for any business seeking a dependable haulage partner. 

So, what sets us apart? From our industry expertise, to our tailored transport solutions, there are many reasons why we are the right fit for your logistics needs.

1. Our experience

Experience is crucial when choosing a haulage company because it is directly linked to reliability, efficiency, and problem solving capabilities.

A company with years of industry experience is more likely to understand all the complexities of logistics, from optimising routes for cost and time savings, to navigating regulatory compliance. There is a very well known phrase that “you learn from experience”. As a family business with a history of over 100 years, we have gained a lot of experience to learn from. Throughout our history, we have seen countless changes, and have always strived to invest in advancing the quality of our services and put people first. 

As seasoned hauliers, we have encountered and overcome various challenges, which means we are able to anticipate potential issues and take a proactive approach to addressing them to minimise disruptions. If there is a problem, we have usually seen it before and know exactly how to solve it!

2. Our commitment to problem solving

Unexpected challenges are inevitable in the haulage industry. Whether it’s traffic delays, last minute route changes, or even complex delivery requirements, what sets Hayward’s apart is our proactive approach to tackling these issues head on. With our skilled and experienced team, and use of cutting-edge technology, we are always driven to find a solution to any transportation problem you may have.

From any initial problem you may face, to challenges we may face mid journey, we adapt quickly to find the most effective haulage solutions, minimising delays and disruption. 

3. We are FORS Gold accredited

Choosing a FORS Gold haulage company ensures you’re working with one of the safest, most efficient, and environmentally responsible logistics providers in the UK.

The Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS) Gold is the highest accreditation a haulage company can achieve. As a FORS Gold haulier, you can rest assured that we demonstrate our commitment to best practices in safety, compliance and sustainability on a daily basis.

To gain FORS Gold-certified status, we have to meet rigorous standards, including advanced driver training, stringent vehicle maintenance, and eco-friendly operations to help reduce our fuel consumption and emissions. 

Choosing a FORS Gold company as your transportation partner means you can stand to benefit from greater reliability of haulage services, reduced risk of delays, and a company that consistently shows commitment to the highest industry standards.

4. Container haulage and storage expertise

If you need to transport your goods via container, then expertise in container haulage, storage, and lifting are vital qualities to find in a haulage company. At Hayward Transport, container haulage has been at the heart of our business for the last 30 years, and we have invested heavily in container storage and lifting facilities in Walsall, Liverpool and Leeds.

As a container haulage company, we are involved in imports, exports, and nationwide distribution, helping your goods get where they need to go. Our specialist flatbed fleet ensures your cargo moves safely and efficiently between warehouses, storage facilities, ports, and final destinations. With our knowledge and experience, we understand the complexities of port operations, road transport regulations, and customs clearance. You can rely on us to minimise any potential disruptions.

With strategically located container depots around the country, particularly our Liverpool storage facility, which is only a few miles away from Royal Seaforth Dock and Liverpool 2 container terminal, we provide safe and flexible short and long-term container storage, helping you to avoid port congestion and related charges.

We have invested in state-of-the-art reach stackers and other container lifting equipment at our facilities, ensuring that containers can be moved safely and efficiently to reduce the risk of damage and delays.
