Freight forwarder in Saarbrücken: direct road freight from the UK
Saarbrücken lies right on the French border, which gives British shippers a very direct road connection through France. As your freight forwarder in Saarbrücken, DAGO Express sends a vehicle to your premises in the UK, loads your goods and delivers them directly to the receiver in the Saarland capital. Your shipment is not consolidated with other freight and makes no intermediate stop at a groupage depot, which reduces the risk of damage in transit.
A vehicle is usually ready for loading 60 to 120 minutes after the order has been placed, and a fixed collection time can also be agreed. Our punctuality is documented at 99.5 %, which gives your customer in Saarbrücken a reliable basis for production planning. Your shipment is monitored around the clock from the initial booking through to the final delivery, including at weekends and on public holidays.
Goods we carry via pallet delivery
Automotive components, steel products, machinery, IT hardware and electronic assemblies are among the loads we handle. We also move medical devices for hospitals, furniture, building materials, textiles and exhibition material for events. Companies in Saarbrücken that sell to customers in Britain can book the same service for freight travelling back to the UK.

Logistics in Saarbrücken: industry and research on the French border
Saarbrücken has around 180,000 inhabitants and is the capital of Saarland, the smallest of the German territorial states. The city lies on the River Saar, directly opposite the French department of Moselle. Cross-border commuting and trade with Lorraine and Luxembourg are part of everyday life.
For a long time, coal and steel shaped the region. Mining in Saarland ended in 2012, but steel is still produced in the area, and the Völklingen Ironworks just downstream is today a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The automotive industry and its suppliers, mechanical engineering and metal processing are central to the regional economy. Many factories rely on scheduled deliveries to keep their assembly lines running.
At the same time, Saarbrücken has also become a location for research and technology. Saarland University is known for computer science, and a national research institute for artificial intelligence alongside several Max Planck institutes work on the campus. On the site of a former steelworks in Burbach, the Saarterrassen business park now hosts service and technology companies. Saarbrücken Airport lies at Ensheim, east of the city. British exporters therefore find a wide range of receivers here, with regular demand for everything from production materials to laboratory equipment.
How freight transport from the UK gets to Saarbrücken
Once the vehicle has crossed from Dover to Calais or through the Channel Tunnel on Le Shuttle, it can stay on French motorways for almost the entire journey. The A26 leads from the coast past Arras to Reims, where the A4 continues east via Metz. Near Freyming-Merlebach, the short A320 branches off to the border crossing at Goldene Bremm, where the German A6 begins right on the edge of Saarbrücken.
From the city, the A6 runs east towards Kaiserslautern and Mannheim, the A1 heads north to Trier, and the A620 follows the Saar to Saarlouis. The A8 connects the region directly with Luxembourg. Onward deliveries into Lorraine, Luxembourg or the Palatinate can therefore be combined with a stop in Saarbrücken without long detours.
Customs for shipments to Saarland
As Germany belongs to the EU, goods from Great Britain need a UK export declaration and an EU import declaration. Sender and importer must both hold an EORI number. On the short crossings at Dover and through the Channel Tunnel, GVMS links the declarations to the vehicle with a Goods Movement Reference. Because the vehicle enters the EU in France, please clarify with your customs agent where the import is declared, and have everything ready before the vehicle arrives for loading.
Collection and delivery in Saarbrücken and the surrounding area
We serve the city centre in St. Johann and Alt-Saarbrücken, the former industrial districts of Malstatt and Burbach, and outer districts such as Dudweiler, Brebach-Fechingen, Güdingen, Bischmisheim, Scheidt and Ensheim. We also deliver to the university campus and the business parks along the motorways. Völklingen, Sulzbach, Riegelsberg, Püttlingen, St. Ingbert and Kleinblittersdorf lie close by, and Saarlouis, Neunkirchen or Forbach just across the French border can be added as further stops.
Factories and research buildings often have fixed delivery windows, mandatory registration at the gate or special unloading points. Please give us these details when you book so that we can plan the arrival and the handover of your road freight precisely.
A suitable vehicle for every load
Small but urgent shipments of up to four pallets and 800 kg travel in a van. The curtain-sided van, loading eight to ten pallets and up to 1,200 kg from the side, is handy for mixed consignments. For larger production orders, a 6 LDM lorry takes 14 pallets and up to 2,400 kg, and the 13.6 LDM articulated lorry carries a full load of 33 Euro pallets and up to 24 tonnes.
