Get a QuoteWhen a Southampton factory line is about to stall for missing parts, the call comes to Maine Couriers. We dispatch a dedicated vehicle within minutes, the consignment moves on a direct route from Southampton to the destination (or Southampton into the line), and the driver hands the parts over to the named recipient on the line or in goods-in.
Vehicle choice on a Southampton automotive job is dictated by the consignment, not by what's convenient. Small van for a single sample part. LWB for a sub-assembly going line-side. Luton with tail lift for fragile body panels. 7.5 tonne for full-pallet supplier flow. Whichever vehicle is right, the price quoted on the Southampton call holds for the whole run.
