Effective warehouse storage across Europe
Having fast access to the right warehousing in the right location is critical to your supply chain. Having storage options in both the UK and mainland Europe, close to major ports, means greater flexibility in reaching customers or other distribution centres.
At the same time, you want to save money on transportation – it’s no good having lots of small trips, as you’ll end up spending more money, increasing the cost per shipment, as well as having a greater impact on the environment.
Double deck trailers
That’s where double deck trailers come in. Double the decks means double the cargo capacity – double deck trailers maximise trailer payload capacities, making them the perfect solution for the transportation of all types of goods, particularly non-stackables.
By increasing the amount of cargo you can load, you can reduce your transportation costs by up to 30%, as well as lowering CO2 emissions by 50%, significantly reducing your carbon footprint.
Transportation and groupage
Don’t have full loads? Groupage means you can consolidate multiple smaller shipments to fill a trailer. However, it doesn’t always work as neatly as that, and you may be left with trailers that aren’t completely utilised.
Double deck trailers are ideal for groupage, allowing you to consolidate more part-shipments into larger loads, meaning your transportation is being used as efficiently as possible.
