Two-man delivery in Witham
Tasito runs two-man delivery across Witham, covering Freebournes Industrial Estate on Freebournes Road and Moss Road, Eastways Industrial Estate, and the retail and offices in the town centre where loading is restricted. Palletised stock, fittings, light manufacturing parts, equipment and office and workshop furniture are the regular load, with a crew of two travelling with the vehicle so the goods finish inside rather than on the yard floor.
Witham is twenty-one miles from us, up the A130 to the A12 and straight off at the town. The estates sit on the A12 side, so we are off the main road and into the yard without working through the town centre, which is an advantage on a crewed job because the time saved on the approach is time two people spend carrying rather than queuing. Tell us the unit, the floor and the way in when you book. Bookings run until 4pm, Monday to Friday.
Freebournes and Eastways
Freebournes Industrial Estate, on Freebournes Road and Moss Road, and Eastways Industrial Estate are the two main sites. Both sit near the junction, with estate roads and yard loading, so forklift work is normal and a Luton has the room for it. The work here is light industrial and trade: palletised stock, fittings, light manufacturing parts and goods moving along the corridor in both directions.
A yard with a forklift makes the loading end quick and leaves the question at the delivery end untouched. Where the goods are going on into a unit, through an office door or up to a floor above the workshop, that part is a carry and the crew is what covers it.
The two estates are minutes apart, so a delivery at each is one job rather than two. Give us both unit numbers and a contact at each and we will sequence them.
The town centre, and a restricted kerb
Witham town centre carries retail and offices with restricted loading, and most of what we move here never goes near it. Where a delivery does, the vehicle cannot sit and wait, so we come in smaller and the crew needs the door open on arrival.
Two people change that address in a particular way. One stays with the vehicle on a restricted kerb while the other starts moving goods inside, which keeps the stop as short as the carry allows. Send us the unit, the floor and the narrowest doorway on the route in.
What the crew does, and what waits for the fitter
Off the vehicle, in through the door, positioned where you want it, and packaging away with us where that was agreed at booking.
Assembly and installation sit outside the job. Workshop benches or an office furniture run arriving flat stays flat until your fitter is on site, so send us their hour and we will land the delivery against it rather than before it. Taking old equipment or furniture out is separate work with disposal attached to it, and on a unit clearance it belongs in the schedule.
The detail that makes a Witham carry predictable is the route from the yard inwards: the floor, whether there is a goods lift and how deep it is inside, the tightest doorway between the vehicle and the room, and the longest item on board. On an estate with a yard, the doorway behind the yard is where a long item stops rather than the roller shutter in front of it.
The A12, and where Witham sits on it
The A12 puts Chelmsford, Witham and Colchester in a line, so a crewed job touching two of the three, or all of them, becomes one route rather than two or three separate bookings. The crew stays with the vehicle for the whole sequence.
Two spots slow down, northbound here and southbound at Hatfield Peverel, and this stretch has no parallel road worth using. A closure sends the diversion through the villages, which is slow going with a load on, so the window has that built in and you get a call with a revised time rather than silence on the tracking. The estates sit right at the junction, which leaves a Witham address less exposed than Chelmsford or Colchester, since we join the road and leave it again rather than running its length.
There are no charging zones here. Witham is Essex, outside the ULEZ and the Congestion Charge, and charges only come in where the delivery address is in London. Our fleet is FORS accredited and renewed for 2026, which matters for anything heading on to a London construction site.
What we send and what fits
Both estates want the curtain-side Luton, which a forklift loads along its flank: six pallets, 1,000kg between them, inside a body of 4.2m by 2.0m by 2.1m. Once goods are going inside a building there is usually no forklift at that end, and the box version's tail lift covers it. Send individual pallet weights rather than a count, because the weight limit is reached before the floor space is.
Below that, a short wheelbase holds one pallet and 450kg in 2.1m of space, a medium takes 800kg with three Euro pallets or two standard, the 3.3m long wheelbase holds four Euro or three standard, and the 4.2m extra-long holds five Euro or four standard. The town centre gets something small. Panels and lengths that will not come through a doorway travel on the flat bed, 800kg across 2.7m.
The fleet page carries every class, and UK pallet sizes explained sets the two footprints side by side, which is worth checking before a pallet comes off a Freebournes yard and into a building.
Where Witham work goes
Chelmsford is south and Colchester north, both on the A12. Braintree sits west on the A120 side, Maldon south east, and London runs down the A12 and the A13 with its own charging attached, which we confirm before we set off.
Other services we run in Witham
Multi-drop along the A12 corridor, which is where this location earns its keep, with a fixed rate on a recurring route. Same-day courier where the load does not need a second person. Next-day courier where tomorrow works. Planning, routing and sorting where the A12 movements repeat week to week.
The full two-man delivery service covers how a crew is booked with the vehicle, which on a route taking in Chelmsford and Colchester as well is worth settling at the start.
Witham questions
Yes, they are minutes apart and both sit close to the A12 junction, so a delivery at each is one job rather than two. Give us the unit numbers and a contact at each.
Yes. Give us the floor, the goods lift's internal depth where there is one, and the flights and tightest turn where there is not, plus the longest item. We tell you what goes up before anybody sets off.
Less so. The slow points are northbound here and southbound at Hatfield Peverel, but the estates are at the junction itself, so we join the road and leave it again rather than running its length.
Diversions run through the villages and that is slow with a load aboard. You get a call with a revised time rather than silence on the tracking, and where a closure can be foreseen we plan around it from the off.
Yes, where loading is restricted, so we come in smaller and need the door open on arrival. The crew keeps the stop short by working between the vehicle and the doorway.
Six in a Luton, with 1,000kg the ceiling for the whole load and a body of 4.2m by 2.0m by 2.1m. An extra-long wheelbase takes five Euro or four standard. Send the individual weights, because the weight limit is reached first.
No. Carried in and positioned where you want it, with packaging taken away if you ask at booking. Assembly is a separate trade, so send us your fitter's hour and we will meet it.
The delivery end decides it. Tell us the unit, the floor and how the goods get through the door, and we will tell you which crew to book rather than finding out in the yard.
Send us the postcodes and what is moving. You get a price in seconds and a driver within the hour.
