Count each unit
Record pallets and loose packages separately.
TRANSPORT OPTIONS · GROUPAGE
Smaller units. Clearly described.
Groupage covers individual packages or palletised units that use only part of a vehicle. Each unit needs a clear identity and dimensions.
01 / GROUPAGEQuantity Dimensions Securing
Every unit needs to be plan-ready.
For individual pallets, crates or packages, provide the number, dimensions and weight per unit. A total alone does not show how the freight can be loaded and secured.
For non-stackable, sensitive or unusual packaging, the description should reflect the actual space required. A photo can help clarify questions, but it does not replace measurements.
Length, width, height
Give measurements per unit and mention any overhang.
Note sensitivity
Show tipping, pressure and stacking instructions clearly.

Packaging protects the load during handling.
A transport-ready package can be identified, moved and assigned to a handover. Labels, packing lists and actual contents should agree.
When several units belong together, explain the relationship. Also state whether a forklift can handle the freight or whether it must be moved by hand.
Readable and traceable
Sender, recipient and package number should be visible on the load.
Forklift or manual
State which equipment is available at collection and delivery.
Site contact
Add the name and availability of the person handing over or receiving the load.

Consider units, timing and route together.
Groupage may be consolidated with other consignments when the processes fit. There is no fixed transit time by default: route, handling, delivery windows and capacity must be confirmed for the actual shipment.
The request form helps organise units and locations. Entered place names support the map preview and are not automatically sent to a transport company.
Name locations clearly
Add country, postcode, town and, if needed, district or access details.
Use a delivery window
Record readiness for collection and destination acceptance separately.
Build the request
Bring weight, pallets and instructions together in one overview.
