Express Van Services
Access a vast pan-European network of van services. From dedicated direct transits with only your goods on board for the fastest arrival times, to shared co-load van space of part loads with your and other customer goods being carried.
If you’re looking for a reliable and affordable means of transport for your goods, our fleet of 3.5-tonne vans can service your needs anywhere in the UK and Europe. The classic Luton Van could be a perfect choice. Optionally equipped with a tail-lifts if needed, these vans can carry up to 4 Standard or 6 Euro pallets, making them ideal for businesses moving smaller consignments. Each van’s gross vehicle mass (GVW) is 3.5 tonne, with a loadable payload weight of approximately 1,000 kg.
Our sprinter vans will take 4 standard pallets. While they do not have tail lifts, they do offer both side and rear doors, allowing lengthier goods loading options.
Groupage Services
At HABOTT LOGISTICS, we understand that one size does not fit all when it comes to freight transport. A full truckload pallet count is typically 26 standard pallets, perfect for the right business. But if you only need a fraction of that space, you need a different service. That’s why we offer a range of pallet distribution products, to ensure that your goods are delivered smoothly and on-time. With Groupage network depots throughout the UK and Europe, we can route your freight via the most appropriate hubs in all countries to minimise delays.
Part Load (LTL)
Part Load (Less than Truck Load) services are designed for either individual pallets that are too heavy for pallet network forklifts to lift. Usually, network capabilities are a maximum weight of 1,000kg per individual pallet.
This service also supports when larger consignments of pallets (more than Groupage, less then Full Load) requires moving and is usually from a combined weight exceeding 2,500kg and up to a maximum 19,000kg in total. Multiple customers pallets are loaded directly onto the same trailers that are shared by multiple customers, and goods only exit the trailer at the delivery site to minimise handling and reducing the risk of damage.
Transit times are generally quicker than Groupage but slightly slower than Full Load.
Full Truck Load (FTL)

Our services feature a comprehensive fleet of articulated trucks and trailers that can handle even the largest and heaviest loads, and we pride ourselves on our quick turnaround times.
