Expert Offloading Solutions in the GTA

What does Lumping Services mean?

In the transportation industry, lumping is unloading/loading shipping containers or trailers by manual labour. Mostly used by businesses receiving freight on a regular basis from overseas.

Lumping is an essential process in the transportation and logistics industry, ensuring the safe and timely delivery of goods. This process involves a skilled team handling various types of cargo, including fragile items, to prevent damage and delays. The lumping process includes unloading shipping containers or trailers, unpacking and sorting items, and loading them onto trucks or other transport vehicles.

Incorporating lumping services into your logistics process can significantly enhance the delivery efficiency, improve relationships with suppliers, and ensure customer satisfaction.

Benefits of Lumping Services for Businesses

Efficient Cargo Handling: Lumping allows for faster unloading and loading, reducing the time required for each step. This efficiency helps minimize delays and ensures on-time delivery of goods.
Inspection upon Arrival: Lumping enables businesses to inspect items when they arrive, verifying that they meet the required specifications and are in good condition. This prevents potential issues and disputes with suppliers, ensuring smooth business operations.

Why it make sense to hire GIG Moving & Lumping service?

Third-party lumpers have been found to be much more effective and efficient, as opposed to in-house lumping services. Let’s be realistic, warehouse employees do not like to unload containers/trailers on a permanent basis! As a business, you can reduce employment costs and risk of accidents, improve productivity and efficiency. We work quickly, in a safe and professional way. Your staff can focus on more important and meaningful work beside hard, repetitive labor.

What does it has to do with moving?

Unloading/loading containers and trailers

The process of transferring goods from one location to another involves the unloading and loading of containers and trailers. This crucial task requires precision and efficiency in order to ensure that products are delivered on time and in good condition. Through careful coordination and attention to detail, the transfer of these goods is made possible, allowing for the smooth flow of commerce and trade.

Sort according to SKU and pack on pallets according to your pattern

Sorting and packing products efficiently is an essential process for any business that handles large quantities of goods. One effective way to streamline this process is by sorting items according to their SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) and packing them on pallets according to a specific pattern. This method not only saves time but also minimizes errors and reduces the risk of damage to the products during transportation.

Count inventory and shrink wrap your pallets

Counting inventory and shrink wrapping your pallets are essential tasks in any warehouse or distribution center. These activities help ensure that your products are organized, protected, and accounted for, which can save you time, money, and headaches in the long run.

Move your pallets to designated areas

At GIG Moving & Lumping, we understand the importance of efficient and effective pallet management. Our team of experienced professionals is equipped with the skills and resources necessary to ensure that your pallets are moved quickly and safely, minimizing the risk of damage during transportation.

Dock level or ground level

When it comes to loading and unloading shipments, businesses have two main options: dock level or ground level. A dock level loading area is a raised platform that allows trucks to back up and unload at the same height as the loading dock. This eliminates the need for ramps and provides a smooth transition for loading and unloading. Dock level loading areas are typically found in warehouses and industrial facilities that receive frequent shipments.
