Two-man delivery in Harlow
Tasito runs two-man delivery across Harlow, covering The Pinnacles and Templefields, Harlow Science Park, the New Frontiers site and the Enterprise Zone. A crew of two travels with the vehicle, so equipment, machinery, office furniture and awkward single items are carried in and positioned on the floor they are going to.
This is not a general industrial town and we do not treat it as one. A fair share of what moves here passes through controlled access and booked goods-in windows instead of open yards, and on a crewed job those windows govern the day. We are 28 miles away: west on the A127, clockwise round the M25 as far as junction 27, then north up the M11 to junction 7. Bookings run until 4pm, Monday to Friday.
Where we collect in Harlow
Most of the light industrial and manufacturing work sits in the two main industrial areas, Templefields and the Pinnacles. Both are ordinary estate addresses with yards, which gets a Luton in and makes six pallets the normal answer, and a crewed collection off either takes very little time.
That is the easy end. The work on a crewed Harlow job is almost always at the far side, which is why we ask about the receiving address before the loading one.
The controlled-access sites
The New Frontiers site and Harlow Science Park work on another pattern. Access is controlled, goods-in runs to booked windows, and in places a site pass replaces a drive-up. Those science and technology sites fall inside the Harlow Enterprise Zone.
Where a consignment leaves or arrives at one of them, name the site and the contact at the point of booking, so the crew reaches the right gate holding the right paperwork instead of burning your slot. Two people stood outside a barrier is the most wasteful thing this service can produce, and a single line on the booking prevents it. FORS accreditation runs across our fleet and was renewed for 2026, and it is what a controlled site or a construction gate checks before letting a vehicle in.
What the crew does, and what it does not
Unloaded, in through the door, up to the floor and positioned as you want it. Packaging leaves on the vehicle if that was agreed at booking.
Installation and commissioning are outside the job. Science park and industrial equipment arrives as it left and stays that way until your engineer is on site, so send us their time if the two have to meet inside the same goods-in window. Removing the old equipment afterwards is a separate job with disposal attached to it.
What we want described is the far end: the floor, the lift and its internal depth, the tightest doorway on the route in, and the longest item. On a controlled site, the gate, the window and the pass arrangement go on the same list.
Junction 27, and the long way round
Junction 27 of the M25 is the problem. It fills in both peaks with nothing good to fall back on once you are committed, which is the reason we sometimes run the A130 and the A12 up to the M11 instead. Further in miles, frequently shorter in time, and the call gets made on the day against what the roads are doing.
The second is the M11 southbound at junction 7. On a crewed job that is why the deadline wants to be a real time rather than the end of a day. Where it is a flight or a freight cut-off, give us the actual figure and we work back from it, because two people arriving once a goods-in window has shut have carried nothing at all.
What we send and what fits
Templefields and the Pinnacles take any class we run. A Luton holds six pallets of either footprint at 1,000kg in a 4.2m by 2.0m by 2.1m space, an extra-long wheelbase at 4.2m four standard or five Euro, a long wheelbase at 3.3m three standard or four Euro, a medium at 800kg two standard or three Euro, and a short wheelbase one pallet in 2.1m of load space at 450kg.
With no forklift at the receiving end, the box Luton's tail lift brings the load to ground level and the crew works from there. Where there is a forklift, the curtain-side version loads from the flank. For whatever a doorway will not take, the flat bed gives 2.7m at 800kg. We also run a single temperature-controlled vehicle, insulated and carrying its own refrigeration unit, 4.2m by 2.0m by 2.1m, 1,000kg, six pallets, holding chilled at 0 to 8°C or frozen at -18°C or below. There is one of them and it is allocated rather than kept spare, so it wants the same notice the crew does.
Every class appears on the fleet page with its figures, and UK pallet sizes explained sets out the footprints.
Where Harlow work goes
Down the M11 into London is the most common direction. Northwards, Stansted and air freight sit fifteen minutes further up the same road. Coming back towards us runs through Loughton and Epping, and Brentwood is across at junction 28.
Two people stay with the load for all of it, so the receiving site's window and gate arrangement are what set the day rather than the mileage.
Other services we run in Harlow
Same-day courier where one driver can handle the consignment. Next-day courier for anything whose deadline is tomorrow. Multi-drop where a single run takes in several sites. Planning, routing and sorting where the same two sites see regular movements and you would rather have them planned than booked one at a time, which is how most of this traffic works in practice.
The full two-man delivery service covers how the crew is booked with the vehicle, which is the detail to settle before equipment goes into a science park site on a booked window.
Harlow questions
The previous day, where you can. The crew is allocated with the vehicle rather than found at the far end, and on a 28 mile run with junction 27 in the middle the booking is also what buys you the hour.
Yes, bearing in mind that access there is controlled and goods-in runs to booked windows rather than a vehicle simply driving in. Name the site and the contact at booking and the crew turns up holding what the gate wants.
Both addresses, what is moving, the deadline expressed as a real time, and the receiving end in detail: floor, lift and its internal depth, tightest doorway, longest item. Where either site runs controlled access, add its name and a contact.
No. Carried in and positioned where you want it. Installation and commissioning are a separate trade, so send us your engineer's time if they have to work inside the same window.
The delivery address decides it. 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.
Between us and the town, junction 27 of the M25 is the bottleneck, and once it goes there is no quick way out. Running the A130 and the A12 up to the M11 is longer in miles and frequently faster in practice, so we make that call on the day.
Yes, a short hop north on the M11. Where the consignment travels on as air freight, hand us the flight cut-off in place of a delivery time and we work back from that.
Yes, on every vehicle and renewed for 2026. Audited rather than self-declared, which is the point of it as far as a controlled site or a London construction gate is concerned.
Send us the postcodes and what is moving. You get a price in seconds and a driver within the hour.
