Specialist handling
More than a standard courier journey
Purple B Logistics specialises in the safe and compliant transport of dangerous goods under ADR regulations. Our dedicated hazardous goods courier service is designed to move your consignment swiftly and securely.
What is ADR?
ADR is the agreement governing the international carriage of dangerous goods by road. Its requirements cover packaging, labelling, transport documents, vehicle standards and driver qualifications, helping protect people, property and the environment.
ADR-qualified drivers
Driver certification must match the load and type of carriage. Contact us to confirm the appropriate arrangements for your particular goods before booking.
Know your consignment
Start with an ADR check
Accurate information helps establish what your shipment needs. Have these details ready when you contact us, and tell us if anything is uncertain.
Describe the load
Share the quantity, package type, number of packages, weight and dimensions. Tell us whether the goods are a light load or a palletised consignment.
Plan the journey
Supply collection and destination addresses, your preferred collection date and time, delivery deadlines and any loading or site-access restrictions.
This is a preparation checklist, not an automated ADR checker or a substitute for the consignor's classification and legal responsibilities.
Before you book
Arrange your ADR delivery
Every dangerous goods enquiry starts with a conversation. Please do not make a standard courier booking for an ADR load without contacting us first.
-
01
Contact the team
Call or send an enquiry with your load details and route. Mention any urgent or same-day delivery requirement at the outset.
-
02
Confirm suitability
Discuss the goods, documentation, vehicle needs and timing so the appropriate transport arrangements can be confirmed.
-
03
Agree the booking
Agree your quote and collection details before proceeding. Have the correctly prepared goods and required transport documents ready.
Ready for collection
The right preparation matters
A small consignment can still be subject to dangerous goods rules. Do not assume that a low weight or a familiar product makes it suitable for a standard courier service.
-
Packaging and labels
Use packaging suitable for the substance and the applicable rules, with the required markings and hazard labels.
-
Accurate documentation
Ensure the transport information describes the actual goods and quantities being collected.
-
Changes or damage
Tell us before collection if the load changes or any packaging is damaged, leaking or otherwise unsuitable.

ADR transport questions
Can I use an ADR checker to confirm my shipment?
An ADR checker can help with initial research, but it does not replace correct classification, current regulations or qualified advice. Use your supplier's transport information and contact us with the consignment details before booking.
What are class 9 dangerous goods?
ADR class 9 covers miscellaneous dangerous substances and articles, including certain lithium batteries and environmentally hazardous substances. Requirements depend on the specific UN entry, condition, packaging and quantity. Please ask us to confirm suitability for your particular shipment.
Is an ADR class the same as a packing group?
No. The class identifies the type of hazard. A packing group, where assigned, indicates the degree of danger: I is high, II is medium and III is low. Not all dangerous goods have a packing group, so provide the full classification rather than an ambiguous “ADR group”.
Can you arrange same-day dangerous goods transport?
Contact us with the goods, collection address, destination and deadline. Same-day arrangements depend on vehicle availability and the consignment requirements. Please obtain confirmation before making any ADR booking.
Do you help local small businesses with smaller loads?
We welcome enquiries from local small businesses as well as those moving larger palletised consignments. Small loads still need an ADR check against the applicable rules. Share your goods and quantities so we can discuss a suitable service.
