Kirwan Haulage provides haulage services to Northern Ireland and the UK, handling cross-border logistics from our Mountrath base. Belfast is approximately 280km and 3 hours via the M1 and A1, and we maintain regular services to all six counties of Northern Ireland. For mainland UK destinations, we use established ferry connections from Dublin Port and Rosslare to Holyhead, Liverpool, and Pembroke, with our freight forwarding team managing all customs documentation.
Cross-border trade between Ireland and Northern Ireland is a daily reality for thousands of businesses, and navigating the post-Brexit customs landscape requires a haulage partner with the right systems and knowledge. Kirwan Haulage handles all the paperwork: customs declarations, phytosanitary certificates where needed, and proof-of-origin documentation. Our drivers carry the correct permits, and our operations team tracks every cross-border consignment to ensure smooth passage at checkpoints.
For UK mainland deliveries, we offer a complete door-to-door freight forwarding service. Goods are collected from your premises anywhere in Ireland, transported to the appropriate ferry port, shipped across the Irish Sea, and delivered to the final UK destination. We work with trusted UK distribution partners to provide last-mile delivery across England, Scotland, and Wales. This means you deal with one point of contact - Kirwan - for the entire journey.
Our cross-border capabilities extend beyond standard palletised freight. We regularly transport abnormal loads, heavy machinery, and oversized equipment between Ireland, Northern Ireland, and mainland UK. Our HiAb crane trucks travel to sites across Northern Ireland for machine installation and heavy lifting projects. Every international movement is covered by our comprehensive insurance and backed by ISO 9001 quality management, giving clients complete peace of mind.
