Selling a lorry in a port town

The Port of Dover describes itself as Europe's busiest ferry port. Roll-on roll-off freight started there in 1965, and today it handles around five million vehicles a year. Lorries on port work cover a lot of miles, so high mileage and wear won't put us off.

Dover hauliers know the queues. Under Dover TAP (the Traffic Assessment Project), in place since April 2015, port-bound lorries hold in the left lane of the A20 after Roundhill Tunnel, with a 40mph limit on the approach. When Operation Brock is running on the M20, Dover-bound HGVs must stick to the signed routes or face a £300 fine. We factor both in when we agree a collection time.

We collect from yards and units across the area, including White Cliffs Business Park at Whitfield, which has consent for industrial and storage and distribution use.

Questions from Dover sellers

Do you buy lorries in Deal and Sandwich?

Yes. We cover Dover and the surrounding area, including Deal, Whitfield, River, Aylesham and Sandwich.

How far is your base from Dover?

About 33 miles. We're in Sittingbourne and come down the A2 through Canterbury.

Do you buy refrigerated lorries?

Yes, with or without a working fridge unit.

Will Dover TAP or Operation Brock hold up my collection?

We check whether either is running and agree a collection time around it.

Is my lorry worth more sold than scrapped?

Often, yes. A working engine, cab, body or tail lift usually adds value over the weight of the metal. Call us with the details and we'll give you a figure.

Do you buy high-mileage tractor units?

Yes. Units on port and continental work rack up big mileages, and we still value them.

What if there's finance outstanding on the lorry?

Get a written settlement figure from your lender and mention it when you call. The finance has to be cleared as part of the sale.
