Frankfurt airport cargo pickup, step by step

Thu, 01 Oct 2026 09:00:00 +0200

Collecting import cargo by road from Frankfurt airport (FRA) requires four things to be agreed: the shipment’s status after arrival, the documents, the handler’s slot and the delivery point. A gap in any one of them usually delays collection more than the journey itself. Below is the process in the order in which it is worth running it.

In brief

FRA has two cargo zones: CargoCity Nord and CargoCity Süd; the airport operator is Fraport.
Before dispatching a vehicle, confirm that the shipment is ready, the documents are in order and the customs status is clear.
Some handlers require a slot booking; always confirm the collection procedure with the handler.
For your enquiry, prepare the terminal or handler, AWB number, cargo parameters and delivery window.

How cargo is organised at FRA

Cargo at Frankfurt airport is handled in two zones: CargoCity Nord and CargoCity Süd. The airport operator is Fraport AG, and the individual terminals are run by handlers, each with its own rules for entry, loading dock and release of shipments.

Oversize transport in Poland: permits II–V, escorts

Tue, 29 Sep 2026 09:00:00 +0200

This article covers the Polish rules. A load is abnormal when the combination carrying it exceeds the permitted dimensions, weight or axle loads. The movement then requires a permit of the appropriate category (II–V) and, for larger dimensions, also an escort (pilot) vehicle. The scope of formalities follows from the load parameters, so that is where planning is best started.

In brief

An abnormal vehicle is one that exceeds the permitted dimensions, weight or axle loads (art. 2 pt 35a).
An abnormal vehicle may carry only an indivisible load (art. 64 para. 2).
The permit category depends on width, length, height, weight and the roads used.
From 1 July 2026, category III–V applications go to GDDKiA Branches.
The time depends on the category and the authority, so plan the movement in advance.

When a load is abnormal

The reference point is the standard dimensions and weights, that is, those permitted in road traffic without a permit. As a guide, according to the summary of Council Directive 96/53/EC (check national limits in the current legislation), these are:

GOH: how to prepare garments on hangers

Fri, 25 Sep 2026 09:00:00 +0200

GOH (garments on hangers) transport means carrying clothing on hangers, on rails, without folding. Most depends on preparation: well-protected and clearly marked pieces pass through loading and receipt at the consignee faster. Below is a practical checklist for brands, distributors and retail chains.

In brief

GOH reduces repacking, but requires covers, grouping and hanging lists.
The length of the garments affects how many rail levels can be used.
Agree in advance who hangs and removes the garments and what the dock arrangements are.
On receipt, count the pieces and note any reservations on the consignment document.
Plan collections and seasons in advance, as they require the vehicle to be matched.

How GOH differs from carton transport

In carton transport, clothing is folded, packed and stacked on pallets. In GOH, garments stay on hangers, hung on rails in the cargo space. This usually reduces the need for pressing and for repacking in the warehouse before the goods go on the shelf.
