The Logistics Plus (LP) Poland project cargo team continues to support and manage projects across Poland and nearby countries. Here are three of the most recent projects handled by LP Poland.
1) Cylinder & Accessories
The Logistics Plus Poland team managed a complex project involving a cylinder and accessories from Västerås, Sweden, to Wieluń, Poland. The cylinder measured 571 x 276 x 268 cm (L x W x H), and the largest piece of cargo weighed nearly 90 tons. As a part of the 4-week preparation process, several detailed studies were completed to ensure the bridges and roads in the route could accommodate the weight and dimensions of the shipment. A multi-axle trailer was used to transport the oversized cargo to meet all the requirements.
2) Baltic Hub Spools
The Logistics Plus Poland team completed the delivery of two spools of racetrack reels (open steel ellipse) from Rogowiec to Gdańsk. The spools measured 500 x 215 x 380 cm (L x W x H) and weighed 88 tons. Upon arrival, the spools were loaded directly onto a ship. The transport of another two units is currently in progress.
3) Reloading Compressors & Engines
The Logistics Plus Poland team continues to support Ukraine’s rebuilding efforts. This time, the LP Poland team organized the transportation of compressors and engines from Poland to Ukraine. This project involved discharging the cargo, container releases, drayage, cargo unloading at the warehouse, and customs clearance.
