Non-stackable pallets? Stop paying for space you don’t use.

If you’re shipping non-stackable goods from the Benelux to the UK, you’ve probably hit the same problem: standard trailers waste vertical space, and you end up paying full-load rates for half a load. Middlegate Europe runs double deck trailers on our Zeebrugge-UK groupage lanes – purpose-built to solve exactly that.

How it works

We consolidate your cargo at our Zeebrugge distribution hub, load it onto double deck trailers, and ship next day to the UK and Ireland. The second deck carries non-stackable pallets that would otherwise sit on single-tier floors at full price. You get the same transit time, the same care – at significantly lower cost.

Why double deck makes commercial sense

With fuel costs climbing and freight rates under pressure, every euro per pallet position matters. Double deck trailers let us move more cargo per crossing, which means we pass real savings on to you. No surcharges for awkward pallets. No need to book a full trailer when you only have a partial load.

This is groupage the way it should work: consolidated, efficient, and priced fairly.

Asset-based, not brokered

Middlegate Europe operates its own fleet – 120+ tractors, 220+ trailers – including double deck equipment running regular services between Zeebrugge, the UK, and Ireland. Your cargo stays in our hands from warehouse floor to final delivery. One operator, one flow, no handoffs.
