Premium Groupage
Logistics Services

Cargo Express provide an expertly managed transport and groupage service that ensures the safe and timely delivery of your material while also being able to cater to non-standard items.

PREMIUM GROUPAGE TRANSPORT

SPECIALISTS IN TRANSPORTING NON-STANDARD GOODS

We work with a vast network of clients across a huge range of industries to provide expert groupage transport for
non-standard goods, delivering on-time and in perfect condition.

Groupage loads, also known as co-shipments or consolidated shipping, are a combination of several smaller deliveries from different distributers to make a single, larger shipment, which helps reduce logistics costs and environmental impact.

Historically, it has been difficult to accommodate non-standard goods into groupage shipments due to the size or weight of the material.

However, at Cargo Express, we use the dimensions of your goods ahead of time to find a suitable pallet in our extensive network and understand how much leftover cargo space can be safely utilised in the vehicle you need, and which other nearby deliveries will fit there.

This allows even the heaviest and most complex goods to benefit from groupage transport. Our regular transport of awkward to move goods includes items such as automotive parts,awnings, construction items and products, refrigerator units, and more across the UK, EU and internationally.

The Benefits of

Premium Groupage Logistics

There are a number of benefits to our premium groupage transport service, especially in regards to efficiency and sustainability, which now form the core of many modern-day logistics operations.

  • Bespoke staff training for handling your goods – Both our drivers and warehouse staff are fully trained to handle, load, secure, and transport non-standard goods. In fact, our staff are trained specifically on how to deal with the items shipped for individual clients, allowing for streamlined operations for our regular customers.
  • A Huge Transport Fleet – Cargo Express have a varied fleet of vehicles and a huge range of pallets available to help ensure your business can save on transport with groupage services, no matter what you need delivering.
  • Dedicated Customer Portal – Our customers benefit from a designated customer portal which lets you stay updated with the status of all your shipments and stored goods. You will also receive electronic proof of delivery notices so that you have a clear record of when your goods have reached their destination.
  • Storage and Warehousing – Our premium groupage transport can help your business save on storage and warehousing costs with faster turnarounds between shipping dates, which can also improve your customer satisfaction by passing on shipping savings onto the consumer.
  • Truck-Mounted Machinery – Not everywhere can own, store, or use a forklift on-site. That’s why Cargo Express can mount mobile forklifts to our vehicles to help load and unload goods at locations where a forklift may not be useable. We could also provide a tail lift at the rear of our vehicle if the goods or location do not require a full forklift.
  • Transparent On-Time Delivery – All our vehicles are satellite tracked and you will be assigned a dedicated logistics manager who will help guide you through the process.
  • Cost Efficient and Environmentally Friendly – Groupage transport allows for several smaller deliveries to be collected into a single vehicle, preventing five separate entities paying for five different vehicles on five unique routes.

Having left the EU, we were at a loss as to how to navigate the rules & regulations involved in sending goods into the EU. We contacted Cargo Express, and they were diamonds! Joseph worked tirelessly on our behalf, and thanks to his dogged determination, ensured nothing was left to chance. The consignment arrived safely and on time! I’d not hesitate in using Cargo Express again!

We dealt with Cargo Express at the end of 2023 and found them very professional. The pick up from us here in Munich was quick and efficient with all relevant details dealt with beforehand. The staff in the UK were extremely helpful providing all required documentation for proof of export/import. For future transport requirements we will not hesitate to use or recommend further Cargo Express.
