1.  Motorcycle Transportation

Many of us at ShuttleBridge are ourselves avid motorcyclists. We know that it’s about riding your own bike on open roads, scenery, fresh air, camaraderie with your friends and the people you meet along the way and, most importantly, having fun.

Motorcycle Shipping
We do our best to provide the simplest and most cost effective shipping solution to getting your motorbike to your chosen destination and back (although some say that coming back is optional).

You tell us where you’re coming from and where you want to go, when you want to travel and we’ll do our best to ship your bike/s there and back. We provide international transportation by air and sea together with packing using only approved materials and customs clearance in most countries and major cities.
Your shipping options are pretty much endless so fill in the quote form and we will get back to you with a tailored transportation plan.

2.  Zoological Transport

Animal Transport is our speciality, so whether you have an Anteater or a Zebra to transport, we watch them every step of the way.
Zoo Specimens represent a keystone in the conservation of a number of endangered species, which means that their welfare during transport is a priority to everyone involved.  When moving these rare and often beautiful species time and handling is kept to an absolute minimum in order to avoid stress. Our staff are experienced, courteous and above all, knowledgeable.

At SHUTTLEBRIDGE Livestock we offer a number of services to help your exotic species travel easier, depending on your requirements:

IATA approved flight containers
Collection from anywhere in the United Kingdom in our temperature controlled quarantine approved van or quarantine approved trailer.

European road transport.
Reservation of cargo space with your preferred carrier to your destination

Import and Export Customs and documentation formalities

SHUTTLEBRIDGE Livestock also has a world wide network of overseas agents who specialize in the movement of live animals and like ourselves are members of IATA, AATA and IPATA. We are licensed for quarantine movements by DEFRA and are well equipped for emergency quarantine moves, transhipment licence applications and movements under rabies licences. We are also licensed for Long Distance Road
Travel under type 2 EU Council Regulation (EC) No1/2005.

Transporting your pet

Moving abroad  with your pets
At SHUTTLEBRIDGE Pet Travel we specialise in pet shipping around the world.  We understand that our furry friends are members of the family, and their comfortable relocation is our priority.

If you are moving to the UK, we are a customs clearance agent for a number of airlines and can offer Pet Travel Scheme advice as a result of our considerable experience in the field. 

Travelling abroad with pet cargo can be a complicated procedure.  We aim to make the process simpler and stress free for you and your pet.  We can help with flight crates, collection, vet trips and delivery at destination.

Exporting your pet can be a complicated process, depending on where you will be travelling to with your furry friend.  Some countries will only require a “fit to fly” certificate, whilst others may require import and export permits, and some still require pets to go to quarantine on arrival.

We’re happy to chat to you about the logistics of the trip and the requirements for the country of destination, so please drop us a line or call.

Our aim is to make the whole process go as smoothly and as stress-free as possible- your pet is a member of your family, so we like to treat them like one.  Let us be your own Pet Travel Agent.

3.  Commercial Livestock

We realise livestock shipments come in all shapes and sizes and at SHUTTLEBRIDGE Livestock we have handled them all.

Whether you are a live tropical fish importer or wholesaler or livestock breeder, we know how important each consignment is to you and your end use customer. Our customers include conservation parks, tropical fish wholesalers, bovine/equine/ovine/porcine semen and embryo artificial insemination units, alpaca and specialist sheep breeders. We understand that each of these shipment types will have different requirements.

SHUTTLEBRIDGE Livestock we will not handle animals for experimentation nor any that are wild caught (unless required for conservation purposes). We are an ethical business and strongly believe in the safe transportation of all animals.  Please see our policy statement for more details.

If you have a future shipment and would like a quote for our services and advice about the necessary paperwork, please feel free to drop us a line outlining as much as possible about the shipment and we can provide you with details.
