Freight handling is at the heart of successful logistics. At OneLogix Cargo Solutions, we understand the intricacies that make freight handling efficient, secure, and cost-effective. From ensuring smooth customs clearance to carefully managing warehousing and project logistics, we make it our mission to optimise your entire logistics process, so your cargo reaches its destination safely and on time.
What is Freight Handling?
Freight handling is the process of managing the transportation, storage, and distribution of goods – including everything from the initial collection and loading of cargo to its final destination delivery. When done right, it ensures that goods are moved efficiently, safely, and cost-effectively.
Key Aspects of Freight Handling
Clearing and Forwarding
Clearing and forwarding are essential freight handling services. These processes involve:
- Customs Clearance: Ensuring that all necessary documentation and regulations are met for the smooth import and export of goods. Learn more about our customs clearance process through our Customs Clearing Guide.
- Forwarding Services: Coordinating the movement of cargo from the point of origin to the final destination, often involving multiple modes of transport.
Warehousing
Warehousing is a critical step in freight management, providing temporary storage for goods before they are distributed. A well-run warehouse includes:
- Inventory Management: Keeping track of stock levels and ensuring the efficient management of goods.
- Security: Implementing measures to protect cargo from theft or damage.
- Space Optimisation: Utilizing storage space effectively to maximise efficiency.

Certain projects require specialised logistics solutions, and with us, we have the expertise to handle even the most complex challenges. This includes:
- Planning and Coordination: Developing a detailed logistics plan to ensure timely delivery.
