Freight forwarder Sabadell: UK freight for the industrial Vallès
Sabadell is one of the main industrial cities of the Vallès region north of Barcelona. Its manufacturers and wholesalers work closely with suppliers across Europe, including many businesses in Britain. When you need a freight forwarder in Sabadell, DAGO Express moves goods from the UK in a single run. We collect the consignment directly at your site, and the vehicle drives through France into Catalonia to unload at the recipient in Sabadell. Because no groupage depot is involved, there is no reloading and no waiting for other freight to fill the vehicle, which also lowers the risk of damage.
Vehicles are generally ready 60 to 120 minutes after booking, and you can also set a specific collection time to suit your shift patterns. Our documented on-time rate is 99.5 %, which helps production planners in Sabadell keep their lines supplied without interruption.
Consignments for Sabadell
Textile machinery and yarns, fabrics, chemicals and dyes under ADR rules where they apply, electronic components, machine parts and packaging are common on this route. Printed matter, furniture, building materials and e-commerce stock make up much of the rest. The process is the same for a single pallet delivery and a full load. Sabadell companies that sell to the UK can use the same service to send their products to customers in England, Scotland or Wales.

Logistics in Sabadell: from textile city to diverse industry
With around 220,000 inhabitants, Sabadell is one of the five largest cities in Catalonia and, together with Terrassa, shares the role of capital of the Vallès Occidental. During the industrial revolution, it became a centre of the Catalan wool industry, and its former mills and chimneys along the Ripoll river are reminders of that period. Textiles remain part of the local economy, although the city's industry is now much broader.
Metalworking, chemicals, plastics, printing, food production and a wide range of services have taken over much of the space once filled by textile mills. The economic activity areas of Can Roqueta and Sud-Oest in the south-west of the city, the Parc Industrial Riu Ripoll, Gràcia Nord and Gràcia Sud, Can Feu and the Sabadell Parc Empresarial host manufacturers, wholesalers and distribution businesses. Sabadell Airport is used mainly for general aviation and flight training.
The wider Vallès region, with its motorways and large industrial estates, is one of the busiest distribution areas in Catalonia. For shippers in the UK, Sabadell therefore offers both demanding industrial customers and regular volumes for trade and retail, all within easy reach of Barcelona.
The route from the UK to Sabadell
Consignments start with the Channel crossing, either on the ferry from Dover to Calais or on Le Shuttle between Folkestone and Coquelles. The vehicle then heads south through France, towards Lyon and along the Rhône valley, and continues on the A9 to Le Perthus. Once in Spain, the AP-7 passes Girona and runs along the edge of the Vallès, close to Sabadell, so the vehicle does not need to enter Barcelona at all.
Sabadell is connected to the AP-7 and the parallel B-30, while the C-58 links the city with Barcelona to the south and with Terrassa to the west. The C-155 leads east towards Granollers. These roads make it easy to combine deliveries in Sabadell with stops elsewhere in the Vallès.
Customs rules for Spain
Because Spain is part of the EU, every consignment from Great Britain needs a UK export declaration and an EU import declaration, and the sender and importer must both have EORI numbers. At the Port of Dover and at Eurotunnel, the declarations are linked to the vehicle through GVMS and a Goods Movement Reference. DAGO Express does not prepare customs declarations. Please make sure with your customs agent that all declarations are ready before the goods are collected.
Collection and delivery in Sabadell and the surrounding area
We deliver throughout Sabadell, from the city centre and the districts of Gràcia, Ca n'Oriac and La Creu Alta to the industrial areas of Can Roqueta, Sud-Oest and Riu Ripoll. The neighbouring municipalities of Barberà del Vallès, Badia del Vallès, Sant Quirze del Vallès, Castellar del Vallès, Polinyà and Santa Perpètua de Mogoda are part of the same service area, and Terrassa and Cerdanyola del Vallès are only a few kilometres away.
Many industrial customers have fixed goods-in times. If your pallet delivery must arrive in a specific slot, please tell us when you book so that we can plan the collection time in the UK and instruct the driver accordingly.
Vehicles for the Vallès
For machine parts and small orders, a van carries four pallets up to 800 kg. The 6 LDM lorry takes 14 pallets and up to 2,400 kg, and the 7.2 LDM lorry holds 18 pallets and up to 5,000 kg, which suits most regular industrial deliveries. Full loads of raw materials, fabrics or packaging travel in an articulated lorry with 13.6 loading metres, room for 33 Euro pallets and a payload of up to 24 tonnes.
