Cargo transportation of food products

Cargo transportation of food products is a demanded logistics service, which is used not only by manufacturers, but also by distributors, direct outlets that do not have their own truck fleet. At the same time, this type of activity requires experience, technical and human resources from the carrier.

The main feature of the cargo transportation of products is that this cargo:

• has a limited shelf life, so it must be delivered from warehouses without delay, according to an agreed schedule;
• in some cases requires compliance with the temperature regime during transportation;
• requires strict adherence to sanitary and hygienic standards;
• provides for the safety of the original packaging without any damage.

Only if these conditions are met, can we say that the delivery was successful, and the products were transported safe and sound. Fahrwest Logistics (Poland) offers turnkey food transportation services, which provides for the organization of a full range of measures for the delivery of goods from the sender’s warehouse to the recipient’s warehouse.

Features of the transportation of food

All cargoes from the category “Food” can be conditionally divided into perishable products and products with a long shelf life.

Cereals, pasta, sunflower oil, salt and sugar, canned products can be stored in warehouses for several months. Due to the extended shelf life, products from this category do not require urgent delivery. However, there are still requirements to comply with the temperature and humidity conditions during transportation, as well as careful loading and unloading in order to avoid compromising the integrity of the package. Deliver packaged products in boxes, bags, on pallets.

Perishable products have a limited shelf life, require mandatory compliance with special temperature and humidity conditions during transportation. To ensure compliance with the requirements, transport companies for the transport of food products use special vehicles equipped with climate control, for example, isotherms, refrigerators. Such products include milk and dairy products, meat and sausages, eggs, fresh vegetables, fruits and berries, semi-finished meat products.

Fahrwest Logistics strictly complies with the regulations in force in Europe and offers the delivery of products of any commodity group from Poland to other EU countries, to Ukraine and Moldova, Asia, the Caucasus, and also in the opposite direction to Poland. We offer not only a high level of service, but also favorable rates. The cost of cargo transportation is calculated individually for each batch, depending on the following factors:

• type, nature, volume of cargo;
• type of packaging;
• distance and route complexity;
• special transportation requirements.

Our specialists carefully consider the transport and logistics scheme in order to minimize the price for the client.
