Consolidated Cargo

Groupage cargo is a small consignment (starting from 1 kg / 2 lb) transported in one vehicle together with other small cargo consignments belonging to different owners.

We accept as groupage cargo oversized goods and goods requiring special transportation conditions: dangerous (of any ADR class), requiring maintenance of a certain temperature regime during transportation, etc.
