Bookings for collections from the BD,HD,HX,LS,WF postcodes must be processed by 13.00hrs on the day that collection is required. Please contact us if you do have collections after this time as on the majority of occasions, we will be happy to assist.

Tail lift Delivery/Collections
Our tail lift services can be requested when there is no forklift available.
Available on either a collection or delivery point. Tail lift deliveries only cover for “kerbside” loading/unloading. This covers the removal of the pallet from the vehicle to the entrance of customer premises. This is dependent on the access and ground surface covering i.e. grass, gravel, etc…
Remember pallets must have four way entry and be no more than 1000 kgs in weight.

Paperwork / Delivery Notes
Shipley Transport Services use our customers delivery notes at all times. These must be given to the driver on collection of the goods or emailed through to our traffic office. All delivery notes supplied must have at least two copies as usually a customer requests to keep a copy and the driver will take a copy upon completion of delivery. If no paperwork is received a Shipley Transport note will be created automatically.
