Our Logistics

We operate our own fleet of secure logistics vehicles.

All our vehicles are fitted with monitored GPS Tracking that includes stationary alerts, route tracking and Way points.

Our vehicles are also fitted with CCTV so we can view the front rear and sides of the vehicle, Vehicle cockpit and the Vehicle Goods area.

Our vehicles are also fitted with Armaplate locks to ensure goods in transit and we operate a strict secure logistics policy so our security vetted drivers know exactly what to do in every situation.

Our Environmental Accomplishment

Gigacycle are proud to operate a 0% Landfill policy. In our computer recycling processing facility in manchester we can recycle and reuse every piece of IT related equipment.

How do we do this? Our first option is to Reuse! We aim to reuse as a first option as this is the best form of recycling as it requires less energy and has the least environmental impact than it would to manufacture again.

If the equipment is broken or is deemed unusable our team of skilled technicians will deconstruct it to raw materials such as plastic, aluminium, steel and copper and glass.

These Raw materials are then used to manufacture new products!
