Benefits of integrated transloading & warehousing
Transloading combined with warehousing provides several advantages:
- Supply chain flexibility: Transloading operations allow businesses to redirect or consolidate freight as demand shifts.
- Cost reduction: By turning ocean containers faster and avoiding unnecessary drayage and chassis rentals, companies reduce demurrage and detention fees.
- Faster throughput: Efficient transfer from port to inland distribution shortens transit time and speeds order fulfilment.
- Improved equipment utilization: Optimised container and trailer rotation reduces empty miles and boosts asset use.
- Sustainability:Using rail for long‑haul segments and consolidating shipments lowers fuel consumption and carbon emissions.
How Our Transloading & Distribution Services Work
A typical shipment moves through these steps:
- Arrival at port or terminal: Goods arrive in shipping containers at a port or rail terminal.
- Transfer to a transloading facility: Containers are transported to a nearby facility and unloaded. A transloading facility is a place where shipments are transferred from trucks to rail or from rail to trucks, making rail service available even when a customer isn’t located on a rail line.
- Cargo repacking & consolidation: Goods are repacked, sorted or consolidated into domestic trailers or flatbeds suitable for their next destination. This may include palletizing, shrink‑wrapping or labeling.
- Mode change or final transport: After repacking, cargo is loaded onto the appropriate mode of transport, whether full‑truckload, less‑than‑truckload, domestic container or railcar.
- Timely delivery: The goods are delivered to their final destination, such as a distribution center, warehouse or retail location.
Value‑added services
- Palletizing and floor‑loaded unloading: We break down ocean containers on‑site and palletize floor‑loaded cargo into standard trailers, improving cost and transit efficiency.
- Flexible modal transfers: Shipments can shift between trucks, trailers, domestic containers or railcars depending on final destination.
- Connected distribution: Once unloaded, goods can be cross‑docked directly to outbound carriers. We coordinate last‑mile delivery via drayage or LTL carriers, effectively providing transloading and distribution under one roof.
