Consolidated Transport for Partial Loads

Kimro Transport offers groupage services for businesses that ship partial loads and do not require a full truck. This model allows multiple shipments from different clients to be combined into a single, efficiently planned route, reducing overall transport costs and environmental impact.

Groupage transport is ideal for non-urgent freight that must be delivered within a scheduled timeframe, particularly for industries with regular but smaller-scale shipments. The service is available throughout Europe and is fully supported by our dispatch infrastructure.

How Groupage Works

Each groupage shipment is booked based on volume, weight, and destination zone. Once confirmed, the shipment is assigned to a consolidated route alongside other compatible cargo. Kimro Transport’s planning team arranges optimal loading sequences to ensure secure handling and efficient delivery flow.

Groupage trailers are monitored throughout transit via GPS tracking, and clients are informed of expected delivery times once loading is complete. All shipments are traceable, and digital proof of delivery is provided at completion.

Benefits of Groupage Transport

Groupage offers significant benefits to companies that ship regularly in small or medium volumes:

• Lower transport costs compared to full-load shipments

• Reduced carbon footprint through consolidated vehicle use

• Scheduled departure and delivery times

• Flexible pickup options

• Suitable for both palletized and non-palletized goods

The service supports both single-destination and multi-drop delivery formats depending on cargo compatibility and planning availability.

Cargo Types and Conditions

Groupage is suitable for most general cargo, including:

• Consumer goods

• Food and beverage (non-refrigerated or ambient)

• Retail inventory

• Packaging materials

• Industrial parts and equipment

All shipments must be packed appropriately for combined loading. Goods requiring temperature control, special handling, or time-critical delivery are evaluated separately. Refrigerated groupage can be arranged based on route frequency and load availability.

Planning and Scheduling

Kimro Transport maintains fixed groupage departures per region. Clients can schedule pickups or drop-offs based on weekly or daily routes. Deadlines for order submission are set per route and can be confirmed through the dispatch team.

Each shipment is issued a tracking number and reference ID. Once consolidated, a pre-alert including estimated delivery time is sent to the recipient.

Booking and Rates

Rates are calculated based on the following factors:

• Pallet space (LDM / Euro pallet / block pallet)

• Cargo weight

• Pickup and delivery location

• Special instructions (tail lift, driver assistance, timed delivery)

Standard insurance is included with each shipment. Additional coverage or specific handling requirements can be arranged upon request.

To book a groupage shipment, clients submit cargo specifications and destination details through our quotation form or direct contact with the planning department.
