Cargo handling services include loading, unloading, transshipment, and moving goods at a warehouse, at the client’s site, or when cargo is transferred between different types of transport. At Neolit, we can arrange these operations as a standalone service or as part of a complete logistics solution.

The equipment and handling method depend on a few things: what the cargo is, how much it weighs, its size, the shipment volume, the working conditions, and how easy the goods are to get to. Before anything starts, we work out what equipment we’ll need and map out the order of operations. 

Loading and Unloading Services

Loading and unloading services may be required when receiving goods, dispatching shipments, transferring cargo between vehicles, or placing products into storage. We work with different types of cargo, including:

  • general cargo;
  • heavy and oversized cargo;
  • bulk and liquid cargo;
  • dangerous goods;
  • perishable goods.

The exact scope of work depends on the shipment characteristics and conditions at the site. If needed, freight handling services can be combined with road freight.

Manual Mechanical and Combined Loading

Smaller, lighter cargo that can be moved safely on its own usually gets handled manually — no special equipment needed. Once you’re into palletized goods, heavy loads, or oversized items, that’s where mechanical cargo loading comes in. 

Combined handling uses both equipment and personnel. This approach is suitable when part of the cargo can be moved mechanically while certain tasks still need to be completed manually.

Equipment for Loading and Unloading

Mechanical loading and unloading operations require equipment with suitable lifting capacity. In warehouses, this may include forklifts and other machinery used to move pallets, boxes, and individual cargo units.

Before cargo loading and unloading begins, we assess the conditions at the site, including:

  • access for freight vehicles;
  • available maneuvering space;
  • gate width and height;
  • the condition of the floor or outdoor working area;
  • whether the required equipment can be used;
  • the position of the cargo in relation to the vehicle.

These factors affect the handling method, the number of personnel required, and the type of equipment used.

Handling Heavy and Oversized Cargo

Heavy and oversized cargo just needs more prep going in. First we check the weight and dimensions, then work out where it can be lifted from, what rigging it’ll need, and how much lifting capacity the job calls for. 

For these operations, it is important to define a safe working area in advance and make sure there is enough space to position the required equipment near the vehicle. The handling plan is prepared according to the conditions at each specific site.

If freight handling is part of an international logistics route, the cargo may be transferred at a warehouse, terminal, or port. For such shipments, we can also arrange sea freight.

Cargo Handling at a Warehouse

At a warehouse, cargo handling can be combined with further processing of the goods. As a cargo handling company, Neolit can manage operations from shipment receipt through preparation for the next stage of the logistics process.

Warehouse handling may include:

  • receiving and placing goods;
  • internal movement;
  • picking goods from storage;
  • counting and weighing;
  • labeling;
  • order preparation and packing.

If required, unloading can also be followed by short-term or long-term storage. More information about these options is available in the warehousing services section.

Picking Packing and Cross-Docking

During picking, the required items are selected and grouped into an order or shipment for further dispatch. Goods can also be packed or repacked before storage or transportation.

Cross-docking allows cargo to be transferred directly from one vehicle to another without long-term warehouse storage. It is used when goods need to be sorted and forwarded quickly.

Cost of Cargo Handling Services

The cost of cargo handling services depends on the requirements of each job. When preparing a quote, we take into account:

  • cargo type and packaging;
  • weight and dimensions of individual cargo units;
  • scope and number of operations;
  • location of the work;
  • equipment required;
  • required completion time.

You can provide the details needed for a quote through the website form or via Neolit contacts.

FAQ About Loading and Unloading

Can loading and unloading services be ordered separately from transportation?

Yes. These services can be arranged separately from transportation. The work may be carried out at a warehouse, at the client’s site, or at another suitable location. To prepare a quote, we need information about the cargo and the required operations.

Does Neolit provide loading and unloading services at the client’s site?

Yes. Loading and unloading can be performed at the client’s site if there is suitable access for freight vehicles and the required equipment. We review these conditions before work begins.

Can packing or repacking be arranged together with unloading?

Yes. Packing or repacking can be combined with unloading and further warehouse processing. If required, we can also arrange labeling, picking, and other related operations. The exact scope of work depends on the type of goods.

Is temporary storage available after unloading?

Yes. After unloading, cargo can be placed into temporary storage. Storage conditions and duration depend on the characteristics of the goods and the client’s requirements. Storage can also be combined with further cargo processing.

What information about the site should be provided before the work begins?

Please let us know the address, access conditions, and type of site. It also helps to know whether there’s a loading dock, what the gate dimensions are, what shape the working surface is in, and how much space is available for equipment. With that, we can figure out the best handling method for the job.
