Tailored transport and logistics solutions in Manchester

If you’re based in Manchester, goods transportation has never been easier.

At John K. Philips, we provide the logistics, transport, and storage for businesses throughout Greater Manchester and beyond.

Our extensive fleet consists of:

  • 2 tonne capacity vans
  • 18 tonne rigids with tail lifts
  • 26 tonne rigids with tail lifts
  • 44 tonne tractor units within our fleet

We can help you to decide the best approach to transporting your specific type and size of load each time.

Our specialists work with a highly sophisticated computerised system. This not only ensures that the routes our vehicles take and the schedules we are working to afford you the best value for money, but it allows your consignments to be delivered in the quickest and safest manner possible. Don’t ever think that you must muddle through a complicated series of deliveries alone because our team will always be on hand to offer you the best haulage service in Manchester.

We are also more than happy to transport partial loads for you and will only charge you for the relevant amount of a consignment your goods take up, saving you money even if the items you are shipping do not constitute a full load.

Dangerous goods shipping

Something that sets John K. Philips apart from most logistics companies Manchester-wide is that we’re members of the national Hazchem Network, the only Hazardous Goods Pallet and Parcel Network in the UK.

ADR is the European agreement concerning the international carriage of dangerous goods by road. It outlines the rules and regulations for the transportation of dangerous goods by road, ensuring safe and secure handling while protecting people, property, and the environment.

All our staff are ADR trained, and our vehicles fully adhere to ADR requirements, so if you intend to transport materials or goods that are potentially hazardous or volatile, you can trust they will be in safe hands with our team.

Palletised distribution

As a member of Palletforce, John K Philips is a specialist in pallet distribution and offers a track-and-trace service on all of your shipments.

This means, regardless of whether it’s heading across the UK, to Europe, or beyond, you can follow your delivery from Manchester in real time – and your clients will always know when to expect the goods.

We collect and deliver at any time of day or night, so there’s never any unnecessary waiting involved.

John K. Philips offers expertise in all aspects of logistics, including warehousing.

We have a 135,000 sq. ft green warehouse in Westbrook, Warrington, where your products can be safely stored for as long as you need them to be, allowing another weight to be lifted from your mind.

Whatever the size or nature of your consignments, John K. Philips will handle them safely.

Our friendly and knowledgeable team will work tirelessly to ensure that everything is in order while in storage at our warehouse facility and that your products arrive at their destination in prime condition.
