Haulage, warehousing and distribution specialists

Beacon Roadways is a West Midlands haulage company specialising in transporting awkwardly shaped and difficult to handle goods as well as palletised items.

Ugly freight specialists

We are a specialist ugly freight haulage company with over 30 years' experience in transporting obscure loads as well as palletised freight.

The flexibility of full and part loads

We understand that sometimes you won’t have a full load to transport, that’s why we’re happy to collect part loads as well as complete consignments.

The reassurance of no hubs or “piggybacking”

All freight, whether ugly freight or not, requires specialist handling. Beacon Roadways guarantees to transport your goods from collection point to delivery point. We don't use hubs and we never “piggyback” loads.

Experienced, smart and friendly drivers

All our drivers are experts in handling freight, especially ugly freight, with care and are all trained in manual handling. Our drivers are customer service experts equipped with mobile phones to call ahead to confirm progress and advise you of any potential delays. When they are on site you will be able to identify them by their smart Beacon apparel and they will offer as much help unloading freight as they can.

A modern, technologically advanced vehicle fleet

We believe in investing in the latest technology because it reduces our overheads – and your costs.
Our fleet of lorries is made up of 3.5 tonne, 7.5 tonne and 18 tonne curtain-sided vehicles. All are fitted with tail lifts, tracking systems and satellite navigation.

Warehousing facilities

Fully alarmed warehousing with 24 hour security at our West Midlands headquarters in Lye near Stourbridge.

Our warehouse space is available on very flexible and reasonable terms. We do not have a minimum charge or minimum time period.

We are happy to store standard pallets or individual products of any shape or size on a long or short-term basis. Consequently, customers can use it to help them cope with seasonal demand, stock-holding commitments, delayed orders or simply where space has run out.

We offer a product management service if required, delivering your goods from stock.
