At Samskip, our goal is to assist shippers in reducing the lead times in their supply chain.

At Samskip, our goal is to assist shippers in reducing the lead times in their supply chain.

Take the manufacturing of trucks, for example. Engine parts and other components made in the German Ruhr are first loaded onto a trailer towards Duisburg. At our terminal, one of our trains transports it to Sweden. Here, the engine parts are used to manufacture truck engines. These, in turn, are transported back via Duisburg to the final truck assembly line in Germany. When unloaded, Samskip will load at the supplier again which creates a continuous process to ensure just-in-time delivery.

Also, with a 3m internal height (10% more volume than a standard trailer), our Mega Huckepack trailers safely transport your automotive products, such as tyres, as they facilitate loading from the top, side and back.
