Two-man delivery in Thurrock
Tasito provides dedicated two-man delivery services across Thurrock and the surrounding business areas, including Grays, West Thurrock, Tilbury, Purfleet-on-Thames, Lakeside, Aveley and South Ockendon. From equipment and fixtures to furniture and stock, 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 Thurrock 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.
Thurrock is a borough rather than a town, so the first thing a booking settles is which site you mean and what the carry looks like there. Bookings run until 4pm, Monday to Friday.
The parts of Thurrock we collect from
Grays covers the town centre and the employment land at Hogg Lane, Grays West and Manorway, mostly ordinary estate and trade counter work. West Thurrock is distribution and industry, including the Lakeside Estate and Waterglade, with docks, forklifts and booked slots, and a crew there is usually taking goods from the dock into a building or up to an office floor.
Tilbury is the port, with gate procedures and freight deadlines. Purfleet-on-Thames is industrial and production work, and Lakeside is retail, where the service yards run delivery windows. Give us the site, the gate, a contact and the floor, and the crew arrives set up for the job.
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, so a delivery inside the borough can lose time to a crossing the job never makes. We build that into the window.
Thurrock is outside ULEZ and the Congestion Charge. If the delivery is in Kent, the Dart Charge applies at the crossing, and we include it in the price with the route.
How the consignment is handled
The crew carries each item off the vehicle, in through the door the site uses, and positions it where you want it. Packaging goes back with us where that was agreed at booking.
Assembly, installation and removing old equipment are separate work, so send us your fitter's time. At every kind of site the same four details decide the carry: the floor, the goods lift and its internal depth, the tightest doorway and the longest item.
What we send and what fits
The site picks the vehicle as much as the load does. Distribution sites at West Thurrock suit the curtain-side Luton, which a forklift loads from the side, and the box Luton's tail lift covers anywhere with no handling equipment.
A retail yard or a tight trade address usually suits a short or medium wheelbase, which gets through the gate faster. Lengths that will not pass a doorway go on the flat bed. The fleet page has dimensions for every class.
Where Thurrock work goes
Other services we run in Thurrock
Same-day courier where one pair of hands is all the load needs. Fragile and time-critical courier for a delicate item with a fixed deadline. Multi-drop for several sites along the corridor on one planned route. Next-day courier where tomorrow morning is soon enough.

Thurrock questions
Which part. The borough takes in Grays, Tilbury, West Thurrock, Purfleet-on-Thames, Lakeside, Aveley, South Ockendon and more besides. A berth at the port, a yard behind a shop and a counter on a trade estate are three different carries. The site, the gate, a contact and the floor is all it takes.
Usually the curtain-side Luton, because it opens along the side and a forklift loads it directly. Send the gate reference and the slot so the crew goes straight through.
Yes. Give us the floor, the goods lift's internal depth where there is one, and the number of flights and tightest turn where there is not. We confirm what goes up before anybody sets off.
Yes, and the borough suits it because everything sits on one corridor. Grays, Tilbury, Purfleet-on-Thames, West Thurrock and Lakeside can be sequenced into one planned job with the crew staying with it.
Three kinds. The distribution operations at West Thurrock run slot bookings and gate references, the port at Tilbury adds security and freight procedures on top, and the retail yards at Lakeside run windows set by the centre. Trade counters and smaller units in Grays are the ones you can mostly just arrive at.
Because the traffic for it backs along the M25 approach and onto the A13, and the A13 is our way in. Time lost to a crossing you are not using is still time lost, so it goes into the window from the start.
Frequently. Our booking cut-off is 4pm, Monday to Friday, but the port, the distribution sheds and the retail yards all run their own hours and most finish earlier. Work from the site's deadline and tell us what it is.
No. Carried in and positioned where you want it, with packaging removed if you ask at booking. Assembly is a separate trade, so give us your fitter's hour and we will time the delivery around it.
Send us the postcodes and what is moving. You get a price in seconds and a driver within the hour.
