Invicta Couriers moves large, bulky and heavy items for businesses and private customers, from a single item to a full van load. We’re based in Whitstable, Kent, and travel anywhere in mainland UK. Every job is priced individually: call 01227 773030 or use the quote form on this page.
What we move
Most often it’s food and construction materials, but we’ve carried almost everything you can imagine, from furniture and equipment to film and TV sets.
Some loads need more than space. For fragile or high-value items, see our delicate goods courier. For chilled or frozen goods, see refrigerated transport. For deliveries to building sites, see our FORS Silver courier for construction sites.
Our vans and Lutons
- Vans and Lutons up to 3.5 tonnes GWT.
- Every Luton has a tail-lift, so heavy items can be raised and lowered safely.
- A Luton’s load space is 4 metres long.
- A single vehicle can carry up to about 1 tonne.
- Larger vehicles are possible on request: we hold an operator’s licence.
How a job works
We look at every job before it’s booked, so the right vehicle and equipment go. Most jobs need one driver. For specialist jobs, a second person comes to help with loading and unloading.
Your goods normally have the van to themselves, though it depends on the job, and a shared load costs less.
Our vans are tracked live, and our drivers record proof of delivery in an app. Call our office at any time for an update.
Near or far
Most of our large-item work is longer distance, and shorter jobs are no problem. We collect all over Kent, much of our work runs into London and the South East, and for the right job we travel anywhere in mainland UK.
Prices
Every job is priced individually. We work it out from the type of vehicle, the total distance and the time we estimate the job will take. Tell us what you’re moving, roughly how big and heavy it is, and where it’s going, and our transport team will come straight back to you with a price.
Questions we’re often asked
How big an item can you take?
Our Lutons have a 4-metre load space and a tail-lift, and one vehicle can carry up to about 1 tonne. For anything larger or heavier, ask us: bigger vehicles are possible on request.
Will someone help to load it?
Most jobs have one driver. For specialist jobs, a second person comes to help load and unload. We check what’s needed before the job is booked.
