Fragile time-critical courier in Stratford
Tasito provides dedicated fragile and time-critical courier services across Stratford and the surrounding business areas, including the development sites by the park and the International Quarter, the small units at Fish Island and Hackney Wick, and the studio and media businesses at Here East. From screens, displays, cameras and production kit to electronics, instruments, finished panels and prototypes, we collect directly from your premises and take the consignment straight to its destination in a vehicle matched to the item, with the handling agreed before anything is loaded.
Most of what we move into Stratford goes to a site gate, a studio or a small converted unit, so the carry and the signature are settled before the van is loaded. Bookings run until 4pm, and a construction gate often closes earlier than an office.
The parts of Stratford we collect from
The development sites by the park and the International Quarter work through site gates. Give us the gate, the slot, a site contact and any induction or banksman requirement at booking, and we arrange inductions ahead of the day so the consignment goes in on its slot.
Fish Island and Hackney Wick are small converted and purpose-built units, holding workshops, studios, light manufacturing and food and drink producers, usually with no forklift and often no yard. Here East holds tech, studio and media businesses, and the shopping centre takes deliveries through a service yard on a booked window.
How the roads and charges work
Events at the stadium and in the park close roads. Where we know a date is affected we raise it at booking and offer an early run or the next morning. Day to day, the Bow interchange and the A12 southbound towards Blackwall are slow in both peaks, and we quote the window we expect.
Stratford is inside ULEZ, which covers every London borough, and any charge that applies to the vehicle is in the price before we go. The Congestion Charge does not apply here and there is no river crossing.
How the consignment is handled
Your consignment travels on its own, with no co-loading and no depot stop. Screens and displays travel upright, equipment is restrained so it cannot shift, and nothing rests on a finished face. In a converted unit the stairs and the doorway decide the carry, so we go through both at booking.
We do not pack or build cases. The driver will tell you at your premises if the wrapping is not up to the journey, and an item that needs a case is flagged at booking. Our part ends with the signature from the person named at booking.
What we send and what fits
Cases, instruments and single items go in a short or medium wheelbase, which reaches a converted unit door that nothing larger will. Longer pieces go in a long or extra-long wheelbase.
Site work usually comes palletised, and the box Luton's tail lift puts a pallet on the ground where a site has no forklift. Lengths too long for a doorway go on the flat bed. The fleet page has dimensions for every class.
Where Stratford work goes
Back to Essex along the A12. The City of London and Canary Wharf are short runs south, and the London page covers the access and charges across the capital.
Other services we run in Stratford
Two-man delivery for a piece going into a building rather than to a gate. Same-day courier where the item is sturdy and only the clock matters. Multi-drop across the unit estates and the sites on one planned route. Next-day courier for site deliveries that are scheduled rather than urgent.

Stratford questions
The gate, the slot, a site contact and any induction or banksman requirement. We arrange inductions ahead of the day, and with all of it in hand the driver goes in on the slot you were given.
No. Packing and case-making are separate trades. We carry what you hand over, and if the wrapping will not survive the journey, the driver will tell you at your premises before loading.
A short or medium wheelbase, unless you tell us otherwise. Those units rarely have a yard or a forklift, so a smaller van stops nearer the door and keeps the carry short.
Tell us the date at booking and we will say what is workable, usually an early run ahead of the closures or the following morning.
No. Stratford is outside the central zone and there is no river crossing on the run. ULEZ covers every London borough, and any charge that applies to the vehicle is in the price before we go.
Until 4pm, Monday to Friday. On a site delivery the gate usually closes first, so give us the site's cut-off rather than the end of your day.
Same-day already means a dedicated vehicle and no depot handling. A fragile booking also fixes the route, the hour, how the item is restrained, who meets the driver and who signs, all agreed before the van moves.
Yes. Give us the building, the goods-in window if there is one and a named contact, and we plan the run around them.
Send us the postcodes and what is moving. You get a price in seconds and a driver within the hour.
