WAREHOUSEING FACILITY
With the port of Immingham just minutes away, you’ll no doubt have seen our trailers leaving our warehouse facility and heading towards the port. Given the proximity to the port, we don’t only ship cargo, but we store it for our customers too!
With our 40,000 sq. ft warehouse facility, with a 12,000 sq. ft canopy on-site, and a yard to store our fleet of 80 mega euroliners, 30 euroliners and 5 open bed trailers, we can offer a comprehensive warehousing and storage solution, as well as handling the transport of your goods too.
We also carry out lots of express freight deliveries for our customers, both in the UK, and to and from the continent, so you’re in safe hands with the team at AGI Immingham!
OUR FLEET
Given the size of fleet we operate out of the Immingham office, we are able to manage our loads to meet our customers exact requirements. This ranges for transporting a single box, right up to a full truckload (FTL). With a FTL, you don’t necessarily need to fill the entire trailer, but we will ensure than only your goods are transported within.
We also have access to a host of smaller vehicles and vans for instances where using a trailer isn’t suitable for your load.
GROUPAGE
In addition to storing, and managing goods for different customers in our warehouse, we can also provide a Groupage (GRP) service.
So what is Groupage?
Groupage is a method whereby ‘bundles’ of goods are shipped and delivered together, prior to being broken back down for onward travel or storage.
This is a cost-effective means of transporting goods, so if you have a requirement for our Groupage service, get in touch with the Immingham team today!
