Vehicle Shipping
Safe international vehicle transit
One of our most popular services is the shipment of cars to many international ports. There are several different options for shipping your car. If you plan to ship your vehicle along with your personal effects, both can be loaded into a steel shipping container. Alternatively, you may wish to ship your car in a steel container on its own. Your car would be loaded, lashed & secured within the container to ensure a safe transit.
We also provide a roll on, roll off service to many international locations. This service involves your car being driven onto a ship at the port of sailing and driven off at destination. There are dedicated vessels that provide this service and the interior is similar to that of a multi storey car park.
Regardless of the method, we will ship your vehicle with the care you would expect so that it arrives safely at its destination. For more information, speak to a member of our knowledgeable team.

Truck & Plant Shipping
Freight House Logistics has a department which specifically deals with shipping large trucks, plant and construction equipment.
Rates for large trucks, machinery and plants are calculated based on the size and weight of the vehicle, you only pay for the space your vehicle takes up. So we will need the dimensions/weight before we can give you a quote. These must be accurate as all vehicles are weighed and measured when they arrive at the port and charges will be based on these measurements
Trucks and plants are too big to be loaded in a container, therefore they will have to be shipped by roll on roll off. We can collect your vehicle on a low loader and take it to any UK port, it will then be stowed and secured on the vessel and shipped to the port of your choice.
Most destinations allow trucks to be loaded with other vehicles and goods but at owner’s risk and there is a loaded surcharge which varies based on shipping line and vessel used.
