Grangemouth is defined by heavy industry. The port on the Forth is Scotland’s largest container terminal, and alongside it are chemical plants, fuel storage and distribution facilities, and a dense belt of warehousing and haulage depots along the roads to the M9.
Activity on this scale produces a great deal of road sweeping: container yards and quays, internal plant roads, shutdown and construction projects, and the public roads that link them, such as Earls Road and the A904. The area is also part of the Forth Green Freeport, and investment in new uses for industrial land is expected to continue. Junctions 5 and 6 of the M9 serve the town directly.
Coverage in and around Grangemouth
Polmont, Laurieston, Skinflats, Bo’ness and Falkirk are covered alongside Grangemouth, with Airth and Kincardine across the Forth also in range. This is one of the better-served parts of central Scotland for sweepers, although demand rises sharply during major shutdowns and project peaks, so long bookings should be reserved early.
