In road transport, every hour of delay can affect delivery timeliness and the profitability of a shipment. A vehicle breakdown, the need to change the mode of transport, splitting a load, or urgently transferring goods to a replacement vehicle all require a quick response. In such situations, the solution is the xCargoLogistics transshipment warehouse in Gliwice, which offers efficient cross-dock services.

The service is primarily aimed at transportation and freight forwarding companies, as well as carriers based in Gliwice and towns located within a radius of approximately 100 km. The warehouse is also available to companies passing through Upper Silesia in transit and needing to quickly transload their cargo at a later stage of their route.

Cross-dock in Gliwice at the intersection of the A1 and A4 highways

The xCargoLogistics warehouse is conveniently located near the intersection of the A1 and A4 highways. Access to these two key transportation routes helps minimize detours and efficiently organize onward transport to the north, south, east, or west.

The warehouse’s location is advantageous for carriers serving Silesia, southern and central Poland, as well as international routes leading to the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Germany, and other European countries. As a result, the cross-dock facility in Gliwicecan serve as a hub for the rapid transfer of cargo between domestic and international transport.

Handling of Euro pallets and non-standard shipments

The warehouse handles standard goods placed on Euro pallets, but its capabilities are not limited solely to typical pallet units. It is also possible to handle goods with non-standard dimensions, which require customized planning of operations.

Operational flexibility allows us to tailor our approach to the type of cargo, the vehicles used, and the specific transport situation. Our services may include, among other things:

• transfer of goods between truck trailers,
• transferring the shipment to a replacement vehicle,
• switching from a larger vehicle to a delivery van,
• dividing a single shipment of goods among several delivery destinations,
• consolidating several shipments into a single shipment,
• handling of standard Euro pallets,
• handling of non-standard cargo and shipments.

This is a practical solution in the event of a vehicle breakdown, a change in carrier, a route reorganization, or the need to deliver goods to the recipient urgently.

Express transshipment without extended storage

The facility operates as a typical cross-dock warehouse. Goods can be received, unloaded, sorted, and forwarded for further transport without the need for long-term storage. Reducing the time between unloading and reloading helps minimize vehicle downtime and restore delivery continuity more quickly.

One of the key distinguishing features of the warehouse in Gliwice is its flexible approach to every operation. Non-standard shipment dimensions, an urgent vehicle change, or an unusual schedule do not necessarily mean that transport will be delayed. The scope and timing of transshipment are determined based on the customer’s actual needs.

The warehouse is open:

• Monday through Friday from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.,
• on Saturdays from 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

Extended operating hours make it easier to schedule loading and unloading both in the morning and in the evening. To minimize handling time, it’s a good idea to provide information in advance regarding the type of goods, the number of pallets, the dimensions of the shipment, the type of vehicles, and their estimated arrival time.
