Specialized LTL Pallet Consolidation & Groupage Hub
Not every consignment requires an entire 13.60-metre trailer. Our Germany groupage service enables exporters to ship from 1 to 15 pallets with proportional freight costs, benefiting from scheduled linehaul departures every Tuesday and Friday.
Cargo collected from factories in Istanbul, Bursa, Kocaeli, and Izmir is consolidated at our Marmara hub, loaded securely onto high-cube trailers, and dispatched directly to German regional cross-dock terminals.
LDM and Pallet Calculation Discipline
We provide transparent pricing based on standard Euro-pallet (120x80 cm) and industrial pallet (120x100 cm) dimensions. For non-stackable or irregular cargo, space is calculated precisely using the Loading Metre (LDM) formula (1 LDM = 1,750 kg / 1.85 m³), guaranteeing clear commercial proposals with zero surprise billing.
End-to-End A.TR Customs & Local Distribution
All groupage shipments are accompanied by authenticated A.TR circulation certificates, clearing customs at central hubs before last-mile distribution via tail-lift equipped vehicles across all 16 German states.
Frequently Asked Questions
What days do groupage trucks depart for Germany?
Our scheduled LTL linehauls depart our Istanbul consolidation hub twice weekly, on Tuesday and Friday evenings.
How is groupage freight priced?
Pricing is determined by the greater of actual gross weight or volumetric weight (1 m³ = 333 kg in road freight, or 1 LDM = 1,750 kg).
How does groupage differ from our full truckload (FTL) service?
FTL assigns a dedicated trailer directly from your factory to the German receiver in 4-6 days. Groupage consolidates shipments from multiple shippers at our depot, offering lower costs for smaller consignments in 6-8 days.
