Integrated Storage and Cross-Docking Services

Kimro Transport offers a combined storage and transshipment service designed for companies requiring short-term warehousing, cross-docking, or reloading during multi-leg transport operations. These services are suited for optimizing distribution flows, consolidating cargo, or temporarily holding freight before final delivery.

Whether inbound goods need to be held for coordination or outbound cargo requires regrouping, this setup allows clients to reduce dwell times, improve delivery flexibility, and streamline supply chains.

Facility Capabilities

Our facilities are located in the Netherlands and provide direct access to major European road corridors. Each site is equipped to handle a variety of cargo types, including palletized freight, loose goods, temperature-controlled items, and commercial packaged products.

Key features include:

• Dock-level loading bays for rapid vehicle turnover

• Controlled internal transfer zones

• On-site handling equipment (pallet trucks, forklifts)

• Temperature-monitored zones available on request

• Secure, camera-monitored environment

Storage is available for short-term durations, ranging from a few hours to several days, depending on the shipment strategy.

Transshipment for Route Optimization

Transshipment services allow goods to be transferred from one vehicle to another, facilitating optimal route planning and delivery scheduling. This is particularly valuable for groupage operations, cross-border transfers, or multi-destination planning where full-truck continuity is not required.

Kimro Transport’s transshipment workflow is built to minimise turnaround time while maintaining cargo integrity and traceability. All movements are registered in our internal system, with confirmation provided for each transfer.

Cargo Types Handled

Storage and transshipment services are suitable for:

• General commercial freight

• Retail and FMCG products

• Food-grade dry goods

• Electronics and packaged industrial goods

• Time-sensitive loads requiring relay strategies

Perishable, temperature-controlled, or regulated goods (e.g., pharmaceuticals) can be accommodated in dedicated, validated zones upon prior arrangement.

Security and Control

All storage and handling activities are conducted under access-controlled, CCTV-monitored conditions. Kimro Transport applies barcode or pallet ID tracking depending on cargo type and client requirement. Insurance coverage is available per shipment or contract.

Clients receive a digital intake and release report per stored shipment. Additional options include:

• Batch separation

• Labeling or relabeling

• Loading order control

• Inventory snapshots

Booking and Planning

Clients book storage or transshipment by submitting key details:

• Cargo type and volume

• Inbound and outbound time slots

• Specific storage conditions (e.g., temperature, segregation)

• Transport partner or next-leg details

Upon confirmation, dock space is allocated and vehicle schedules are adjusted accordingly. Services can be arranged as standalone operations or as part of integrated transport and logistics solutions.

Summary

Kimro Transport’s storage and transshipment services provide a practical, secure, and efficient solution for companies with dynamic logistics needs. With direct access to European distribution routes and flexible scheduling options, this service ensures your cargo remains under control at every stage of the supply chain.
