Freight forwarder Gliwice: direct UK transports to the Silesian motorway hub
A freight forwarder in Gliwice has to be able to serve production lines that do not wait. DAGO Express moves your goods from the UK to Gliwice as a direct transport: one vehicle is loaded at your site in Britain and delivers straight to the receiver in Upper Silesia without passing through a groupage depot. With fewer handling steps, the risk of damage is lower and the delivery time is easier to plan.
A suitable vehicle is usually at your premises 60 to 120 minutes after you book, and you can also fix a collection time to suit your loading schedule. Across all our transports, our documented punctuality stands at 99.5 %. From start to finish, you can track the consignment via the link sent after order confirmation. Manufacturers in Gliwice can also ship goods back to customers in the UK on the same terms.
Typical freight for Gliwice
Automotive parts and assemblies make up a large share of the goods on this lane, followed by machinery, tools, spare parts and electronic components. We also move chemicals in approved containers, building materials, packaging and Euro pallets for distribution. For dangerous goods, please mention the classification at the time of booking so that the transport goes to a partner with the correct ADR licence.

Industry and logistics in Gliwice
Gliwice is home to around 175,000 people and lies at the western edge of the Upper Silesian conurbation, where it is one of the strongest industrial locations. A large car plant, which now builds vans, has been a central part of the city's economy for decades, and a dense ring of automotive suppliers has settled around it. Much of this manufacturing activity takes place in the Gliwice subzone of the Katowice Special Economic Zone.
The Silesian University of Technology gives the city a strong engineering profile, and its science park supports companies in IT, automation and industrial technology. Machinery, metalworking, chemicals and electronics complete the industrial picture. The port of Gliwice on the Gliwice Canal, which connects to the Oder, forms the base of a logistics centre with storage and trimodal handling.
Location remains Gliwice's biggest advantage for freight. The interchange at Sośnica, where the A1 and A4 motorways cross, is one of the most important road junctions in Poland, and many logistics parks have been built nearby. For British suppliers, that makes Gliwice a natural destination for parts, tools and production material, and direct delivery helps keep just-in-time supply chains on track.
The route from the UK to Gliwice
From the UK, the vehicle crosses from Dover to Calais by ferry, or it takes Le Shuttle through the Channel Tunnel from Folkestone to Coquelles. The journey then continues through Belgium and across Germany towards Dresden and Görlitz, where the vehicle enters Poland at Jędrzychowice. On the Polish A4 motorway, the route runs east past Legnica, Wrocław and Opole straight to Gliwice.
At the Sośnica interchange, the A4 meets the A1, which leads north towards Częstochowa and Łódź and south to the Czech border at Gorzyczki. The Drogowa Trasa Średnicowa, a fast urban route, connects Gliwice with Zabrze, Chorzów and Katowice. This combination makes Gliwice an efficient starting point for multi-drop deliveries anywhere in Upper Silesia.
Customs for goods from the UK
Poland is an EU member, so goods shipped from Great Britain require an export declaration in the UK and an import declaration in the EU. Both the British exporter and the Polish importer need an EORI number. When the vehicle passes through Dover or the Channel Tunnel, GVMS links the declarations to it through a Goods Movement Reference. Please arrange the customs paperwork with your customs agent before collection, so the goods can leave on schedule. DAGO Express does not handle customs clearance.
Collection and delivery in Gliwice and the surrounding area
We deliver throughout the city, including Śródmieście, Sośnica, Łabędy, Trynek, Sikornik, Szobiszowice, Wójtowa Wieś and the industrial areas around Żerniki and Bojków. The neighbouring towns of Zabrze, Knurów, Pyskowice, Gierałtowice, Sośnicowice and Rudziniec are covered as well. When a production site in Gliwice and a second address in Katowice or Ruda Śląska need goods from the same load, both stops can go into one transport, which keeps planning simple for you.
Factories in the economic zone often work with booked delivery windows and gate registration. Tell us the time slot, the gate procedure and the unloading equipment at booking, and we will plan the vehicle and arrival time to match.
Vehicles for automotive and industrial customers
For urgent parts, a minivan carries two pallets and up to 450 kg. A 6 LDM lorry takes 14 pallets and up to 2,400 kg, and a 7.2 LDM lorry handles 18 pallets and up to 5,000 kg, which covers most regular pallet deliveries. Full loads for production sites travel on a 13.6 LDM articulated lorry with 33 Euro pallets and up to 24 tonnes, with an interior of 1,360 × 240 × 270 cm. That leaves enough room for heavy machinery and bulky assemblies.
Deliveries to more than 38 countries

Frequently asked questions about freight transport in Gliwice
How many pallets can freight transport in Gliwice 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 Gliwice?
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 Gliwice?
That depends on volume, weight and delivery date. A part load shares available space; a full load reserves a vehicle for your freight.
