General

What services does Gerritsen Logistics UK provide?

Gerritsen Logistics UK provides industrial transport, machinery relocation, on-site lifting, container shipments and project-based logistics support. We specialise in handling heavy, high-value and complex industrial assets across the UK and Europe. Our services can be delivered as standalone logistics solutions or as part of a full industrial relocation project.

Do you operate only within the UK?

No. While we maintain dedicated vehicles permanently available in the United Kingdom, we also operate internationally. Through our Dutch headquarters and European fleet, we provide cross-border transport, coordinated multi-vehicle operations and full project logistics across Europe.

What types of cargo do you transport?

We transport:
– Industrial machinery
– Production lines
– Oversized equipment
– Heavy processing units
– Factory assets during strip-outs
– Containerised industrial goods
Our fleet is specifically equipped for complex industrial loads requiring careful handling and professional load securing.

Do you provide lifting services as well as transport?

Yes. Our DAF 85 Truck Mounted Crane allows us to combine lifting and transport in one integrated solution. This reduces reliance on third-party crane hire and ensures controlled on-site handling of machinery and heavy components.

Are your vehicles certified and compliant with UK regulations?

Yes. All vehicles are professionally maintained and fully compliant with UK transport regulations. Equipment certification, preventive servicing and safety inspections are strictly controlled. Operational safety is embedded in every project we execute. Safety and quality are never up for discussion.

Can you handle urgent or time-sensitive transport requests?

Yes. Because we maintain dedicated vehicles in the UK, we can respond quickly to urgent national transport requests and project support requirements. Our in-house planning and fleet control allow us to act efficiently and reliably, even under tight deadlines.

Do you work as a subcontractor or main contractor?

We can operate as subcontractor, main contractor or logistics partner within a larger industrial relocation project. Regardless of our role, we maintain full responsibility for safety, planning and execution of our scope of work.

Can you scale up for larger industrial projects?

Yes. Through our Dutch headquarters and European fleet, we can scale capacity quickly. Whether a project requires one vehicle or multiple coordinated transport and lifting units, capacity is never a limiting factor. Flexibility is our strength. Reliability is our foundation.

Financial and documents

What are the costs of your services

Pricing is based on project scope, load specifications, distance, required equipment, complexity and timing. For project-based industrial logistics, we provide a tailored quotation after reviewing technical requirements and operational conditions. Our approach ensures transparent and predictable cost structures.

Do you offer fixed-price quotations?

Yes. For clearly defined scopes of work, we can provide fixed-price quotations. For complex industrial relocation projects, we may also propose structured pricing based on agreed milestones or defined deliverables to maintain financial clarity throughout execution.

Do you help with permits and transport documentation?

Yes. We handle all required permits, transport documentation and coordination with authorities. This includes exceptional transport permits, customs documents and project-specific logistics paperwork.

What payment terms do you apply?

Payment terms are agreed upon contractually and depend on the scope and duration of the project. For larger projects, staged invoicing aligned with project milestones may be applied. For standard transport services, structured payment terms are agreed in advance.
