When it comes to moving goods efficiently across Europe—or even further afield—having the right logistics partner can make all the difference. Whether you’re a growing business expanding into new territories or an established brand needing reliable European haulage, Containerlift is your trusted transport partner, offering seamless service from pickup to delivery.
We understand that shipping goods internationally isn’t just about getting from A to B; it’s about coordination, timing, compliance, and trust. Every shipment carries a promise—to customers, to partners, and to your reputation. That’s why we’ve built our business on reliability, flexibility, and innovation. With a specialist team and a fleet that includes unique self-loading Sidelifter trailers, we ensure every job is handled with precision and care, no matter the size, weight, or destination.
Effortless Import and Export into Europe
Moving goods into and out of Europe has become increasingly complex, especially since the introduction of new customs procedures and post-Brexit trade requirements. At Containerlift, we simplify that process. Our logistics team will help you organise every stage of your import and export flow into Europe, ensuring all paperwork and documentation are completed accurately and on time.
We manage everything from customs clearance to cargo tracking, removing the stress of navigating international regulations. Whether you’re importing manufactured goods from Germany, exporting agricultural produce to Spain, or sending machinery to the Netherlands, we ensure your shipment moves smoothly across borders.
We take care of the technicalities, so you can focus on running your business.
Collection, Delivery, and Customs Made Simple
Logistics can be a juggling act—especially when it involves multiple carriers, border checks, and time-sensitive deliveries. With Containerlift, there’s no need to deal with a long chain of middlemen. We provide a door-to-door service, meaning we’ll collect your cargo, handle all customs documentation, and deliver it directly to your destination.
Our integrated approach reduces delays and minimises errors, while our team remains on hand to keep you updated at every stage. We pride ourselves on delivering not just containers, but complete peace of mind.
The Sidelifter Advantage: Efficiency on the Ground
One of the standout features of Containerlift’s service is our specialist Sidelifter vehicles. Unlike standard trailers that rely on cranes or forklifts at either end, our Sidelifters can lift and lower containers directly to and from the ground. This self-loading ability saves clients both time and money, particularly on sites without lifting facilities.
For businesses operating from construction sites, storage yards, or temporary facilities, the Sidelifter is a game-changer. It provides complete flexibility for loading and unloading containers safely and efficiently—wherever you need them.
This not only eliminates the need for additional lifting equipment but also reduces waiting times, as our vehicles can load, transport, and offload containers all within one visit.
In short, our Sidelifters bring the depot to you.
Tailored Transport Solutions Across Europe
Every business has unique transport requirements, and at Containerlift, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. Depending on your location, timescale, and cargo type, we can offer a range of road-direct or combined feeder and rail transport solutions.
For shorter or urgent routes, road transport offers the fastest and most flexible service. For longer distances or cost-sensitive cargo, a combination of road and rail provides a more sustainable and economical option.
Whichever you choose, our team will help you select the most efficient route—balancing cost, time, and environmental impact to deliver the best results.
We operate Europe-wide standard haulage, as well as Sidelifter haulage to many locations, ensuring consistency in service and reliability across borders. Whether it’s France, Belgium, Poland, or further east, our network is built to perform.
Competitive Rates, Transparent Service
At Containerlift, we know that price matters—but so does value. Our rates are competitive across the European market, but more importantly, our clients know exactly what they’re paying for. We’re upfront about costs, timings, and documentation—no hidden fees, no surprises, just transparent service from a team you can trust.
Our combination of experience, fleet capability, and customer service ensures that we remain one of the leading names in container logistics. When you choose Containerlift, you’re not just hiring a haulier—you’re gaining a logistics partner committed to helping your business grow.
Container Supply Option
Not every client has their own containers, and that’s never an obstacle. We can supply 20ft, 40ft, and 45ft containers, depending on your cargo type and volume. For clients with their own equipment, we can also ship any size of shipper-owned container, making our service fully flexible and scalable.
Whether it’s general cargo, specialist machinery, or temperature-sensitive goods, we’ve got the expertise and equipment to move it safely and efficiently.
