What are the Benefits of Container Unloading Services?

In most industries, productivity, speed, and safety are major concerns, and crucial for controlling overhead costs. For logistics professionals, efficient loading and unloading of shipping containers is a pivotal step in the supply chain. That is why Express Freight Handlers serves hundreds of clients across the nation every year, successfully providing our unloading services. Our goal is to ensure reliable performance to increase your supply chain’s efficiency. This translates into improved turnaround times and, in many instances, an increased ROI. Here is a more in-depth look at Express Freight Handlers’ unloading services benefits: 

Speed and Efficiency

Express Freight Handlers’ professional container unloading team will unload your cargo quickly and efficiently. This reduces your turnaround times and improves your overall supply chain flow. Fewer disruptions mean greater cost savings. 

Cost Effective Approach

By minimizing damage, downtime, and labor costs, Express Freight Handlers’ unloading services will contribute to significant savings. 

Safety: 

Our skilled teams are trained to safely handle equipment and cargo, thereby minimizing the risk of injuries and accidents.

Flexibility and Expertise: 

Our experienced teams can manage a wide variety of cargo, regardless of how it has been loaded – whether stacked, palletized, wrapped, or bound. We also offer services for palletizing and sorting freight, and upon request, we can provide inventory management.

Compliance: 

Express Freight Handlers’ teams adhere to strict industry standards and safety regulations to make certain that every unloading task is carried out in compliance with local laws and regulations. 

Damage Prevention/Damage Control: 

When performing our unloading services, Express Freight Handler’s team will assess and determine the best course of action, then swiftly follow through. This experience is especially useful when loads have shifted in transit, generally leading to damages and asset losses. A leading industry trade paper cites, “As much as 11% of unit loads arriving at a distribution center have some level of case damage.” 

Damages that occur during transit are typically viewed as a logistics issue; however, it is the lumpers who identify freight that has shifted and damaged the cargo. Our Express Freight Handlers team is highly organized and work closely with each other, as well as with the supervisor and any warehouse personnel assigned to oversee the task. We promptly isolate the damaged freight while continuing to unload your cargo. Additionally, we will provide you with a customized report to help you prepare and submit your insurance claim. Thanks to our experience and expertise, we will adhere closely to your schedule, and in many cases, there will be little to no impact on it.
