Logistics

Logistics for bulky items

The delivery of bulky items – such as garden sheds, pool covers, garage doors, carports, pergolas – with dimensions ranging from 2 to 7 meters (or even more), requires specific means of transport. But beyond transport, the entire logistics chain needs to be designed with the bulky nature of these products in mind.

Specific logistics challenges

Transport: The size of the plant requires the use of tautliner trucks.


Handling: Loading and unloading are carried out sideways. This requires adapted structures and equipment, as well as personnel trained in good stowage and safety practices.

Storage: These non-standard products take up a lot of space, requiring large surfaces and dedicated storage areas, outdoors, under canopies or in warehouses equipped with long racks and cantilevers.

Planning: Because of their congestion, these deliveries can’t be improvised. You need to anticipate, check accessibility, communicate precise time slots, and optimize rounds and loads.
