Stopping a production line is never an option. LCB Transport delivers same-day collection and delivery of components, raw materials and finished goods for UK manufacturers — anywhere in the country, any time you need it.
Critical components delivered exactly when your production schedule demands — preventing costly stoppages and reducing inventory holding costs.
Regular collection and delivery of components, raw materials and sub-assemblies between suppliers, factories and distribution hubs across the UK.
Safe, insured transport of finished manufactured goods to wholesalers, distributors and end clients across the entire United Kingdom.
Our tail-lift equipped fleet handles large, heavy or awkward manufactured goods that standard courier networks cannot accommodate.
Set up regular scheduled runs or call us for urgent same-day collections — our service adapts to your production calendar.
All manufactured goods are insured throughout transit. High-value items can be discussed at booking for appropriate additional cover.
UK manufacturing businesses operate in an environment where supply chain efficiency is everything. A missing component, a delayed raw material delivery or a late finished goods shipment can ripple through your entire operation — disrupting production schedules, delaying customer orders and damaging supplier relationships. LCB Transport exists to eliminate these disruptions.
We provide a dedicated manufacturing courier service with nationwide collection and delivery across the United Kingdom. Whether you need a just-in-time component run, an emergency raw material delivery, or a regular finished goods distribution service, we have the fleet, the professional drivers and the operational flexibility to deliver exactly what you need, when you need it.
Our fleet is tail-lift equipped and GPS tracked, capable of handling everything from small precision components to large, heavy manufactured goods. We operate as a dedicated service — your goods travel alone, directly from collection point to destination, without intermediate stops or sortation facilities.
LCB Transport works with manufacturers across a wide range of sectors throughout the UK, including:

Just-in-time manufacturing is a production philosophy that minimises inventory by receiving components and materials only as they are needed. It is efficient when supply chains work perfectly — but when a component fails to arrive on time, the consequences for JIT operations are immediate and costly.
LCB Transport understands the time-critical nature of JIT logistics. When a supplier is running late, or a component has been rejected on quality grounds and a replacement is needed urgently, we can step in with a same-day collection and delivery anywhere in the UK. We have helped manufacturers avoid production stoppages worth many times the cost of the courier service itself.
For manufacturers operating a JIT model, we recommend establishing a business account with LCB Transport in advance, so that when an urgent courier is needed, we can respond immediately without any delays in setting up the booking.
Many manufacturers have predictable, recurring courier requirements — daily component deliveries from a key supplier, weekly finished goods runs to a distribution centre, or monthly stock transfers between facilities. For these businesses, a contract courier arrangement with LCB Transport is the most efficient and cost-effective solution.
Under a contract arrangement, we agree fixed routes, schedules and pricing in advance. You receive priority service, a dedicated account manager and monthly consolidated invoicing. This eliminates the need to book and pay for individual jobs, streamlining your logistics administration significantly.
Contact us to discuss your regular manufacturing courier requirements. We will assess your typical volumes, routes and scheduling needs, and propose a contract arrangement that works for your business.
Standard parcel courier services are designed for packages up to a certain weight and dimension — typically far smaller than many manufactured components. When you need to move heavy metal fabrications, large plastic mouldings, bulk electronic assemblies or machinery components, standard courier networks simply cannot help.
LCB Transport's tail-lift equipped van is designed to handle exactly these situations. Our tail lift allows safe loading and unloading of heavy goods at premises without a loading bay, dock or forklift. We regularly transport manufactured goods well above the weight limits of standard parcel services, handling items carefully to prevent damage during transit.
Please advise the approximate weight and dimensions of your goods when booking so we can confirm suitability and ensure appropriate securing equipment is available.
Two of the most common manufacturing courier requirements we fulfil are supplier-to-factory runs and factory-to-distributor deliveries. Both types of run require reliability and punctuality above all else.
For supplier-to-factory runs, we collect components or raw materials from your supplier and deliver directly to your production facility, following the exact schedule your production team requires. For factory-to-distributor deliveries, we collect finished goods from your production or warehousing facility and deliver to your distributor, wholesaler or end customer anywhere in the UK.
Both services are available on a one-off same-day basis or as part of a regular scheduled contract arrangement.
