The optimal solution for transportation of a small consignment of goods (or cargo, whereof dimensions are much smaller than dimensions of the vehicle) is to combine with other companies to form a consolidated cargo. It is transported on one vehicle in order to minimize the costs of a carrier and, as a result, a customer.
A consolidated cargo should be properly prepared for transportation. High-quality work requires specialists, special machinery, equipment and extensive storage areas. In addition, the execution of accompanying documentation for a consolidated cargo requires certain knowledge that not all specialists have.
Our employees categorize, mark and complete consolidated cargoes promptly for better safety of goods during storage and delivery, as well as facilitation of unloading operations at consignees.
What does consolidated cargo handling includes?
Consolidated cargo handling may include the following operations:
- transfer of goods from one type of transport to another;
- optimal placement of oversized cargo;
- cross-docking;
- consolidating the cargo in accordance with the wishes of a consignor and a consignee;
