Why ADR Class 1 & Class 7 Transport Requires a Specialist Haulier

Transporting dangerous goods is not just a matter of moving freight β€” it’s about managing risk, following regulation, and protecting public safety. At First Freight, we specialize in ADR Class 1 (explosives) and Class 7 (radioactive materials) β€” two of the most heavily regulated categories in the logistics industry.

πŸ”΄ Why are Classes 1 and 7 so complex?
Both classes involve materials that can cause extreme harm if mishandled. Explosives (Class 1) require specialist training, secure vehicles, and route planning that avoids public risk. Radioactive materials (Class 7) need shielding, certification, and close coordination with authorities. Not every haulier is willing β€” or equipped β€” to handle such cargo.

🧰 What makes First Freight different?
We invest heavily in:

  • ADR-certified drivers with advanced training

  • Vehicles equipped for Class 1 & 7 compliance

  • Risk assessments and strict documentation protocols

  • Emergency procedures in line with UK regulations

πŸ“¦ Whether you’re a defence contractor, medical supplier, or nuclear lab, you can trust us to deliver with safety and precision.
