About US

Health and Safety is one of our core values and is a fundamental part of our culture. We aim to be the leader in haulage and workplace safety, raising standards within the industry. We regard safety as an ethical responsibility and we are committed to creating safer working environments for our employees and customers. We manage the safety of our people and the quality of our equipment by collaborating and implementing safe systems of work.

We firmly believe in investing in our people and we empower them to make sensible choices about their own safety and the safety of others by encouraging and supporting them to continually challenge the environment in which they work.

We continually invest in developing and promoting safer ways of working. For road/cycle safety, all drivers are trained in defensive driving and how to cope with the challenges posed by pedestrians, cyclists, and other vulnerable road users, and also undertake Safer Urban Driver training to ensure they are skilled to drive in cities.

We are pioneering a team of specialist London drivers who are professionals in making the last leg of deliveries into the city. This has required expansion of our depot network to include our first London Consolidation Centre in Dagenham to detach the long-haul leg from the last mile of the delivery.

We are committed to ensuring we deploy the most efficient and environmentally friendly vehicles and assets across the UK, and we see this as a unique opportunity for our business to improve the environmental impact we make.

We operate a modern and clean fleet of Euro-6 compliant trucks, backed up by industry leading planning and routing systems. Recognizing the impact road haulage can have on the environment and the negative effect on overall operating costs to the business that unloaded vehicle movement can have, we strive to achieve maximum efficiency of our transport network. Our depot network and business development activities are targeted towards achieving the lowest “empty mileage” of any operator in our sector. The result of which is fewer, more efficient loads on the road, minimising the impact on key outputs such as emissions and fuel burn.

When you work with Explore, you’re working with a partner who puts you first. Our best-in-class service and diverse fleet has been accredited by industry leaders such as FORS, CLOCS, FTA and Allmi, but it’s our dedication to delivering safe, sustainable results that means our customers know they can rely on us for all of their Transport and Rail on-track plant hire needs.
