ADR transport · Europe

Safety is not a priority, it is a condition

Carrying dangerous goods leaves no room for improvisation. We work under a dangerous goods transport licence, with a safety adviser and a team trained continuously on ADR regulations.

Drivers hold current certificates and are re-examined regularly; vehicles carry a valid approval certificate and are checked before every run.

What we cover

What every ADR shipment includes

The approvals, the people and the paperwork — all in place before loading.

Dangerous goods licence

The transport runs under a proper licence, not an exemption. Licence documents are available on request.

Safety adviser

A specialist checks the classification, the packaging and the paperwork before the goods leave.

ADR-certified drivers

A current ADR certificate for the classes carried, with regular re-examination and training on regulatory changes.

Approved, checked vehicles

Valid approval certificate, equipment matched to the class carried, and a technical check before the run.

Routes planned around restrictions

We account for tunnel codes, weekend and holiday driving bans, and dedicated ADR parking.

Groupage or dedicated truck

Small quantities can travel in groupage; for large volumes or high-value goods, a dedicated truck gives more control.

How it works

From classification to delivery

Every stage is a checkpoint: if something is off, it stops before loading rather than on the road.

  1. 01

    Classifying the goods

    We establish the ADR class, the UN number and the packing group, from the safety data sheet.

  2. 02

    Packing and marking

    We check that the packaging is approved for that group and that the labelling matches the class.

  3. 03

    Vehicle and driver

    We assign a vehicle with a valid approval certificate and a driver certified for the class being carried.

  4. 04

    Documents and route

    We prepare the mandatory documents and plan the route around tunnel codes and driving restrictions.

  5. 05

    Transport and delivery

    The load travels with its placards and written instructions on board, and delivery is confirmed with signed documents.

ADR classes

The nine classes of dangerous goods

We carry all nine classes. How the goods are classified determines the vehicle, the documents and the routes that may be used.

  • Class 1

    Explosive substances and articles

    dynamite, nitroglycerin, fireworks, ammunition

  • Class 2

    Gases

    flammable, non-flammable and toxic gases, pressurised cylinders, aerosols

  • Class 3

    Flammable liquids

    fuels, solvents, paints, alcohols

  • Class 4

    Flammable solids

    self-igniting substances and substances that emit flammable gases on contact with water

  • Class 5

    Oxidising substances and organic peroxides

    nitrate-based fertilisers, peroxides, bleaching agents

  • Class 6

    Toxic and infectious substances

    pesticides, laboratory toxins, biological samples

  • Class 7

    Radioactive material

    medical isotopes, industrial radiation sources

  • Class 8

    Corrosive substances

    acids, bases, battery electrolyte

  • Class 9

    Miscellaneous dangerous substances

    lithium batteries, asbestos, engines, environmentally hazardous substances

Vehicle options

Which vehicle suits your cargo

The choice follows the physical state of the goods and the class they fall under.

  • Curtain-sided trucks

    The usual answer for palletised or boxed dangerous goods.

    They keep the weather out and allow side loading, so handling is quicker.

  • Box-body trucks

    A rigid structure, for goods sensitive to shock or impact.

    The closed body adds a layer of mechanical protection on top of the packaging.

  • Tankers

    For liquids, gases and powders, equipped to the class being carried.

    Each tanker holds its own approval certificate, listing the substances it may carry.

Packing and marking

The packing groups and what they require

Classification follows ADR — the European agreement on the international carriage of dangerous goods by road. Beyond the class, goods are also assigned a packing group, which states how severe the risk is.

Packaging has to withstand transport conditions and prevent any leak or damage; approved types pass rigorous testing before being admitted.

Packing groups

  • Group I

    Risk levelHigh danger

    The strictest requirements for packaging, marking and handling.

  • Group II

    Approved packaging, with intermediate strength requirements.

  • Group III

    Risk levelLow danger

    The most relaxed of the three, but still under the ADR regime.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about ADR transport

What is ADR, and which goods fall under it?

ADR is the European agreement governing the road carriage of dangerous goods: classification, packaging, labelling, vehicle equipment and documentation. More falls under it than people expect — fuels, gases, paints, acids, fertilisers, lithium batteries and aerosols.

Which classes do you carry?

We carry all nine ADR classes, from explosives through to miscellaneous dangerous substances. The class determines the vehicle, its equipment, the documents and the routes that may be used.

Why does it cost more than ordinary transport?

Several things add up: the vehicle needs an approval certificate, the driver an ADR certificate, the shipment a safety adviser, the routes are restricted — so sometimes longer — and the paperwork is specific. The gap depends on the class and the quantity.

Which documents are mandatory?

The CMR consignment note with ADR entries, the driver's ADR certificate, the vehicle approval certificate, written instructions for the driver, and the packing conformity certificate. We prepare them, but the safety data sheet for the goods comes from you.

Are there exemptions for small quantities?

Yes. The regulation provides regimes for limited quantities (LQ) and excepted quantities, with their own labelling, which can be exempt from part of the full ADR requirements. We check whether your goods qualify before settling the transport regime.

What route restrictions apply?

Tunnels are categorised with codes (B, C, D, E) that bar certain classes; there are weekend and holiday driving bans, stops must be made in dedicated ADR parking, and above certain quantities an escort may be required.

Can ADR goods travel in groupage?

Yes, for small quantities. The mixed-loading rules have to be respected — not every class may travel next to every other. We check compatibility before consolidating the load.

How do I get a price?

You can start from the calculator in the platform, then the team confirms the ADR regime from the safety data sheet. For cases that need review, we come back with a tailored offer in under 2 hours.
