Trucking & Retail Delivery Carrier Serving New York City
Manhattan is our specialty, not our problem. Low-height trailers for the tunnels, pups and liftgates for the streets, drivers who know the loading zones — every borough, every day.
Space Shipping delivers into all five boroughs of New York City — Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island — from its Jamesburg, New Jersey terminal about 48 road miles from Midtown, using low-height trailers for the Holland and Lincoln tunnels, 28-foot pup trailers and liftgate straight trucks for city streets, with appointment-window store delivery, LTL, pool distribution and expedited service.
New York City sets the rules and the equipment has to answer them. The Holland Tunnel caps vehicle height at 12 feet 6 inches and the Lincoln Tunnel at 13 feet; 53-foot trailers are limited to designated routes; trucks are barred from the parkways; loading zones are metered and enforced; mall docks and flagship stores run on appointment windows. Space Shipping has delivered into the city since 1992 with a fleet kept specifically for it: low-height trailers, 28-foot pup trailers with liftgates and straight trucks that can work a Fifth Avenue curb or a Queens Center dock.
Our Jamesburg terminal is about an hour from Midtown via the Turnpike, which lets us stage Manhattan-bound freight the night before, consolidate it onto city-sized equipment and hit early-morning delivery windows before the stores open.
