-- Future Forwarding Co Ltd has successfully completed the international transport of the X-Tower Slide to Cliff Lakes, supporting the delivery of what is set to become the UK’s largest water slide.
Commissioned by Kingsbury Watersport Limited, the 12-metre-high structure covers an area of around 30 by 30 metres and weighs more than 20 tonnes. Built from fibreglass and galvanised steel, the attraction required a carefully planned logistics operation from Fontenay-le-Comte in France to Tamworth in the UK.
The movement involved five flatbed trailers, several out-of-gauge loads, and five separate crane operations to load the slide sections, steel supports, fixings, and installation materials. The route ran from France through Calais, into the UK via Dover, and onward to Cliff Lakes, with the full operation completed within a four-day transit window.
Due to the size and nature of the cargo, route planning, permits, timing, and handling were critical. Deliveries were staggered to match the installation schedule, allowing the site team to offload and assemble the structure without delay.
Future Forwarding Co Ltd worked closely with the supplier, client, and installation team throughout the project, maintaining clear communication and responding quickly to operational requirements.
Now installed, the X-Tower Slide adds a major new attraction to Cliff Lakes, strengthening its position as one of the UK’s leading aqua and watersports destinations.
The project highlights the firm’s capability in managing complex Future Forwarding European road freight, oversized cargo, and time-sensitive specialist logistics projects.
