Two-man delivery in Grays
Tasito provides dedicated two-man delivery services across Grays and the surrounding business areas, including Hogg Lane, Grays West, Grays South at Manorway, Titan Pitt, and Globe Works and Thurrock Park at Little Thurrock. From stock and equipment to fixtures and furniture, a crew of two travels with the vehicle and carries each item in and positions it where you want it, with the access and the handover agreed before anything is loaded. With Grays around ten miles from our Essex base along the A13, we are well placed for quick crewed collections and onward delivery into London, Kent and throughout the UK.
Most port and distribution work here loads off a dock in minutes, so a crewed job from Grays is usually about the address at the other end. Bookings run until 4pm, Monday to Friday.
The parts of Grays we collect from
The three main employment areas are Hogg Lane, Grays West and Grays South at Manorway, with Titan Pitt off Hogg Lane and Thurrock Park and Globe Works at Little Thurrock. Nearly all of it is estate and trade counter loading with room to work.
Port and distribution sites run booked slots and gate procedures, so a vehicle without a reference waits rather than loads. Give us the reference, the gate and the slot time at booking and the collection goes through first time.
How the roads behave
The A13 is the road in from Essex and London. When the Dartford Crossing approach queues, the tailback can reach the A13 here, and the Manorway and Lakeside junctions slow in the peaks, so we build that into the window on a crewed job.
Grays is in Thurrock, outside ULEZ and the Congestion Charge. If the delivery is in Kent, the Dart Charge applies at the crossing, and for anything south of the river we price the crossing and the tunnel route so you can compare them.
How the consignment is handled
The crew breaks the load down off the pallet where the carry needs it, takes it through the door and up to the floor, and positions it where you want it. Packaging goes back with us where that was agreed at booking.
Assembly, installation and removing old items are separate work, so send us your fitter's time if they need to meet the crew. Tell us the floor, the lift if there is one, the tightest doorway and the longest item, and we confirm at booking what goes in.
What we send and what fits
Port and distribution work is palletised, so send the pallet weights and the load length. It usually goes in a long or extra-long wheelbase or a Luton.
At a dock the curtain-side Luton is quicker because it opens along the side. Where the receiving address has no dock or forklift, the box Luton's tail lift brings the pallet to the ground before the crew carries it in. Lengths a doorway will not take go on the flat bed. The fleet page has dimensions for every class.
Where Grays work goes
Other services we run in Grays
Same-day courier where a dock at the far end does the work a crew would otherwise do. Fragile and time-critical courier for a delicate item with a fixed deadline. Multi-drop for several addresses along the Thurrock corridor. Next-day courier where tomorrow morning is soon enough.

Grays questions
Call and we will tell you what is free. The previous day secures it, and at ten miles on the A13 a crewed job on the day is often workable depending on what is already out.
Yes, wherever the site works to slots, which most of them do. With no gate reference a crew waits at the barrier instead of loading. Give us the reference, the gate number and the slot time as you order and that is handled.
The delivery address decides it rather than the collection. Tell us the item, the floor it is going to and how it gets in, and we will tell you which you need at booking.
No. Carried in and positioned where you want it. Assembly and installation are a separate trade, so send us the fitter's time if they have to follow the crew in.
The staircase decides. Give us the flights, the tightest turn and the longest item in the load, and we will say what goes up before the vehicle is loaded.
Only where the job carries on into Kent, where the Dart Charge applies. Inside Essex or into London it does not arise, and any charge your job picks up is in the price before we go.
Yes. Tilbury, Purfleet-on-Thames, West Thurrock, Lakeside and Grays make one run from our end, so splitting them into separate jobs pays the same mileage twice over.
Yes. The pallet comes off the dock by forklift, and where the receiving address has no equipment, the box Luton's tail lift brings it to the ground before the crew carries it in.
