Freight forwarder in Linz: direct transport between the UK and Upper Austria
If you are looking for a freight forwarder in Linz for goods leaving the United Kingdom, DAGO Express keeps it simple: direct road freight, one vehicle, one route and no stops for sorting. Your consignment is loaded at your site in Britain and stays on board until it reaches the recipient on the Danube. There is no groupage depot where pallets are broken down and rebuilt, which reduces the risk of damage to your pallet delivery in transit.
A vehicle is normally ready to load 60 to 120 minutes after booking. If your warehouse runs on strict time slots, you can name a fixed collection time instead. With a documented punctuality rate of 99.5 %, the delivery in Linz can be scheduled precisely into production plans, shift changes or the opening of a building site without large time buffers.
Typical loads for Linz
Steel components, heavy machinery and spare parts are common cargo, as are chemicals in approved packaging, electronic components, building materials and packaging material for industrial customers. Retailers and e-commerce businesses send stock replenishments, while engineering firms dispatch prototypes. Upper Austrian companies can also use the service in reverse to ship goods from Linz to recipients across Great Britain, with the same booking steps, the same direct principle and the same tracking tools for your haulage.

Logistics in Linz: an industrial city on the Danube
Linz is the capital of Upper Austria and home to around 200,000 people. Few Austrian cities are as industrial, which makes Linz a key destination for any logistics company working in central Europe. The voestalpine steelworks on the eastern side of the city is one of the largest industrial sites in the country, and the neighbouring chemical park hosts major producers of fertilisers, plastics and speciality chemicals. Around these large plants, hundreds of suppliers, maintenance firms and engineering offices keep materials moving every day.
The Danube gives Linz one of the most important inland ports in Austria. Its basins handle containers, steel, bulk goods and heavy lift cargo, and the port area has extensive storage and trimodal handling facilities where ship, rail and road meet. Linz Airport at Hörsching, south-west of the city, adds air cargo to the regional mix.
Beyond heavy industry, Upper Austria is known for mechanical engineering, plastics processing and automotive supply, spread across surrounding towns such as Wels, Steyr and Traun. This mix creates steady demand for part and full loads from abroad, often with narrow delivery windows. British firms supplying machinery, components or raw materials to the region benefit when their freight transport arrives on one vehicle and on schedule, without an extra round of handling in between.
The route from the UK to Linz
The Channel is crossed either on the Dover–Calais ferry or on Le Shuttle from Folkestone to Coquelles. From northern France, the vehicle heads through Belgium into Germany and then continues south-east via Frankfurt, Würzburg and Nuremberg. The route follows the A3 past Regensburg to the Austrian border at Passau. From there, the A8 Innkreis Autobahn and the A25 via Wels bring the load to the A1 West Autobahn just south of Linz.
The A1 connects Linz with Salzburg in the west and with Vienna in the east, while the A7 Mühlkreis Autobahn runs through the city itself towards the north. Southbound, the A9 Pyhrn Autobahn begins at the nearby Voralpenkreuz and leads to Styria. Distance-based tolls for heavier vehicles and weekend restrictions for large lorries are a standard part of every Austrian route plan.
Customs between the UK and Austria
Goods travelling from Great Britain to Austria leave the UK with an export declaration and enter the EU with an import declaration. Both the exporter and the importer must hold a valid EORI number. At the Port of Dover or the Channel Tunnel, the Goods Vehicle Movement Service ties the declarations to the vehicle using a Goods Movement Reference. Please arrange all declarations and clearance with your customs agent before the collection date, as DAGO Express does not prepare these documents.
Collection and delivery in Linz and the surrounding area
We serve the whole city, including the busy port and industrial zone in the east, Urfahr on the northern bank of the Danube, and the southern districts of Kleinmünchen, Ebelsberg and Pichling. Business parks in Leonding, Pasching, Traun and Ansfelden are covered just as regularly, and so are Hörsching near the airport, Asten and Enns to the east, and Steyregg across the river. Nearby industrial towns such as Wels, Steyr and Eferding can be combined with Linz when a load has several recipients.
Large industrial sites often require prior registration at the gate, specific safety equipment or booked unloading times. Please tell us about such requirements when you order, so that the driver arrives prepared for the site rules.
Which vehicle fits your freight
For steel parts or heavy machinery, the 7.2 LDM lorry with 18 pallet spaces and a capacity of up to 5,000 kg, or the articulated lorry with 13.6 loading metres and up to 24 tonnes, offers enough capacity. Smaller orders go in a curtain-sided van for 8 to 10 pallets and up to 1,200 kg, which can be loaded from the side, or in a minivan for two pallets and up to 450 kg.
Deliveries to more than 38 countries
Your freight forwarder in Linz and the rest of Europe
Behind every booking is a network of more than 50,000 vehicles in 38 countries, used by over 15,000 companies. If a vehicle breaks down in transit, a replacement vehicle is sent immediately so the freight keeps moving. International runs are carried out by verified partners holding a valid EU licence and, if the cargo demands it, an ADR licence for dangerous goods. Your haulage is monitored around the clock, at weekends and on public holidays too, and DAGO Express is ISO 9001 certified.
Insurance through the Schunck Group covers your road freight up to 8.33 SDR per kilogram of gross weight; for more valuable goods, extra cover can be booked at short notice. A tracking link follows your booking, and automated emails confirm both collection and delivery. The DAGO ShipperHub gathers orders, ETAs, KPI tracking and real-time reports, and connects to ERP systems via an API.

Frequently asked questions about freight transport in Linz
How many pallets can freight transport in Linz carry?
Capacity depends on pallet dimensions, weight and the vehicle. Share the shipment details so we can plan a suitable truck.
Can I request a tail lift for freight transport in Linz?
Yes. Tell us if neither the pickup nor delivery site has a loading dock or forklift; we will check the availability of a suitable vehicle.
When should I choose a part load or a full truck load for Linz?
That depends on volume, weight and delivery date. A part load shares available space; a full load reserves a vehicle for your freight.

How long does it take before my freight for Linz is collected?
A vehicle is usually at your loading point 60 to 120 minutes after booking. If your warehouse works with time slots, you can book a fixed collection time instead.
Is my consignment for Linz consolidated with other goods?
No. Your freight is carried as a direct transport on one vehicle from the UK to Linz. It does not pass through a groupage depot, so there is no reloading along the way.
Which motorways lead to Linz from Germany?
Vehicles usually cross from Passau into Austria and follow the A8 Innkreis Autobahn and the A25 via Wels to the A1 West Autobahn, which passes just south of Linz.
What documents are needed to send goods from Great Britain to Linz?
You need an export declaration in the UK, an import declaration in the EU and EORI numbers for exporter and importer. Please have your customs agent prepare the declarations before collection.
Can you deliver to the port area or large industrial sites in Linz?
Yes. Many industrial sites require registration or fixed unloading times, so please share the site rules when booking. We then plan the vehicle and arrival to match those requirements.
Can you transport chemicals to Upper Austria?
Chemicals in approved packaging can be carried. Where the goods are classified as dangerous, the transport is carried out by a verified partner with a valid ADR licence. Please state the classification when booking.

The minivan takes two Euro pallets and up to 450 kg. It suits urgent spare parts or samples. For four pallets and up to 800 kg, a van is the next size up.
What happens if the vehicle breaks down on the way to Linz?
A replacement vehicle takes over the load so the delivery can continue. Our team monitors every shipment around the clock and keeps you informed if the plan has to change.
