ADR Transport Service — Professional Hazardous Goods Courier Across the UK
Transporting dangerous goods in the UK requires more than a standard courier. Under the Carriage of Dangerous Goods and Use of Transportable Pressure Equipment Regulations 2009 (CDG 2009), and the international ADR framework, hazardous materials must be carried by trained, certified drivers in compliant vehicles with proper documentation. X-Eagle's ADR courier service meets every one of these requirements.
Our ADR-certified drivers undergo rigorous training covering all 9 hazard classes, vehicle loading and unloading procedures, emergency response protocols, and the correct use of fire extinguishers, spill kits, and personal protective equipment. Each driver carries a valid ADR training certificate and understands the specific requirements for the goods they transport.
Every dangerous goods consignment is accompanied by a full set of transport documents including the dangerous goods transport document (listing UN numbers, proper shipping names, hazard class, packing group, and quantities), written emergency procedures, and any additional documentation required by the consignor. We retain copies of all documents for regulatory audit purposes.
Our vehicles are equipped with the mandatory ADR equipment including orange plates, hazard placards, fire extinguishers, wheel chocks, warning signs, and personal protective equipment. Vehicles are inspected before every ADR job to ensure full compliance with placarding and equipment requirements.
Whether you need to move Class 3 flammable liquids between manufacturing sites, deliver Class 6.2 infectious substances to a laboratory, or transport Class 8 corrosive chemicals to a customer, X-Eagle provides the specialist ADR courier service you need. We operate across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland with same-day and next-day options available.
