Container haulage services

Six services, each with its own page, all on the same operator licence and the same freight liability cover. Most of the work is standard boxes, and the rest is the work that changes the vehicle, the route or the paperwork.

What we do

The standard box, and the ones that are not

Jagelo Haulage has moved more than 75,000 containers since 2019, run by people who have been in container haulage since 2015. The everyday work is 20ft and 40ft containers on our own skeletal trailers, collected from the port and delivered to a door somewhere in Great Britain.

The services below are how we split the rest. Each one changes something about the job: who books it, how heavy the box is, whether it needs power, whether it fits a standard trailer, or whether the cargo needs a registration to carry at all. Each page says what changes, how we handle it and what we need from you to plan it.

If your box does not fit any of them, send the details anyway. We tell you straight whether we can take it, and what it needs if we can.

What we move

Container sizes, stated exactly

Standard dimensions are published to ISO 668, so they are given to the centimetre. The last two rows each change the vehicle or the route, which is why the quote form asks about them.

Regulated cargo

Container work a standard haulier has to turn away

Two registrations let us carry container cargo that a haulier without them cannot legally take. The animal feed one is the rarer of the two: a forwarder with Category 3 feed on the water has a short list of hauliers to call.

Animal feed, Category 3

Anyone transporting animal by-products must be registered with the Animal and Plant Health Agency, unless an exemption applies. We are registered to carry Category 3 animal feed in shipping containers, quay to premises. Category 3 is the low risk category, and the rules still apply to it: covered, leak-proof vehicles and containers, cleaned, disinfected and dried before and after every use. How animal feed collections work.

Other people’s waste, upper tier

In England, carrying other people’s waste needs an upper tier registration with the Environment Agency. Ours is upper tier, as a carrier and a dealer. The government’s duty of care code expects anyone handing waste to a carrier to check that registration on the public register first, so we publish the number and link to the entry.

Registrations, and where to check them

Questions

Container haulage services, answered

How quickly will I get a price?

The same working day. Send the port, the delivery postcode, the container size and the date. If the box is heavy, refrigerated, out of gauge or hazardous, say so in the same message, because each changes the vehicle and so the price.

Do you carry hazardous containers?

Send the UN number and class with the request and we confirm whether we can take it before we quote. Hazardous work changes the vehicle and the paperwork, so it is never something to raise on the day.

Can you move out of gauge or abnormal loads?

Send the dimensions and the weight. We check them and confirm at quote stage what the load needs and whether we can move it. Flat racks and open tops change the route and the notice needed, so they are planned before collection, never on the quay.

Do you carry waste in containers?

We hold an upper tier waste carrier and dealer registration with the Environment Agency, CBDU471791, which is what carrying other people’s waste in England needs. Tell us what the waste is and where it is going, and we confirm whether we can take it before we quote.

The register is public, and the duty of care code expects you to check a carrier on it before you hand waste over. Check ours.

What cover applies to my container?

Freight liability at £6,500 per tonne under RHA 2024 conditions, five times the RHA standard of £1,300, whichever service it is. Loads we subcontract carry the same limit. Up to £10,000 per tonne is available by arrangement for high value freight.

Not sure which service your box needs?

Send the port, the container and the postcode, and anything unusual about the box. We price it the same working day and tell you what it needs.
