Does Move Intermodal offer a complete door-to-door solution?
Yes, we manage the entire supply chain from A to Z. We take full control of the process, including the “first mile” collection by truck, the intermodal long-haul (via rail or water), and the “last mile” delivery to the final destination. This provides you with high transparency and a single point of contact for your […]
Can you handle both bulk and packed goods within the same network?
Absolutely. We offer a wide range of innovative supply chain solutions for different types of cargo. Whether you need to transport specialized dry bulk using our ‘bag-in-box’ concept or packed goods from a single pallet to a full truckload, our extensive intermodal network is equipped to handle your specific needs across Europe.
How does Move Intermodal support my business during a sudden increase in demand?
With a fleet of over 3,000 loading units and 60 of our own company shuttle trains per week, we offer guaranteed capacity and high flexibility. Our “synchromodal” approach allows us to scale quickly and switch between transport modes, ensuring we can always design a tailor-made solution that meets your business’s peak demands.
How does the ‘bag-in-box’ concept ensure the purity of my bulk products?
Our innovative ‘bag-in-box’ concept, which we pioneered in 2005, uses specialized containers fitted with custom-made, single-use liner bags. This method eliminates the risk of cross-contamination between different loads, as the product never comes into contact with the container itself. It is the ideal solution for high-purity products in the chemical, polymer, and food & feed […]
Can Move Intermodal handle hazardous (ADR) goods safely?
Yes. Safety is our top priority, especially for hazardous transport. Move Intermodal is SQAS-certified, meaning our processes meet the highest safety, quality, and environmental standards of the chemical industry. Additionally, we actively participate in the ‘Operation Clean Sweep’ (OCS) program to prevent pellet loss during transport and handling, ensuring a sustainable and responsible supply chain.
What role do your drivers play in the specialized bulk unloading process?
Bulk transport requires more than just driving. Our drivers are highly skilled and undergo intensive training specifically for the correct securing and unloading of liner bags. Through our mobile driver app, they stay in continuous connectivity with our planning team, ensuring a seamless flow and allowing us to provide you with real-time updates on your […]
What types of loading units do you use for packed transport?
We utilize a diverse fleet of over 3,000 units, including 45ft containers and swap bodies that offer the same loading capacity as a standard trailer. For specific industries, we provide specialized equipment such as “coil-well” swap bodies for the steel sector.
How is the security of my packed goods guaranteed across borders?
Your goods are loaded into a container or swap body that is sealed at the point of departure and remains closed until it reaches its destination. Because the unit itself is moved between train and truck without handling the internal cargo, the risk of damage or theft is significantly minimized. For food shipments, this sealed, […]
Is groupage transport slower than direct road transport?
While groupage involves a consolidation phase, our high-frequency network of 60 company shuttle trains per week ensures a fast and reliable transit. By utilizing fixed rail schedules, we can offer competitive lead times and high reliability, often bypassing road congestion and weekend driving bans.
Do I need a full container to use your intermodal network?
No, our groupage department is specifically designed to handle smaller shipments, from a single pallet to partial loads (LTL). We consolidate your goods with other shipments in our own containers, allowing you to benefit from the cost and CO2 advantages of intermodal transport without needing a full load.
