Pre-Carriage

From your loading point
to the port.

Pre-carriage is the inland transport stage between the loading point and the export terminal or port. Depending on the site and loading conditions, Matador One can organise conventional container chassis or side-loader equipment.

Container sideloader truck
Side-loader Pre-Carriage

Truck with Side-loader

A side-loader is equipped with hydraulic lifting equipment that can lift a shipping container from the trailer and place it directly on the ground next to the vehicle, or lift the container from the ground back onto the chassis.

Container can be placed at ground level for loading.
Useful where no crane or reach stacker is available.
Suitable site access and sufficient lateral working space are required.
Availability depends on route, container weight and location.
Container truck with standard chassis
Standard Pre-Carriage

Truck without Side-loader

A conventional container chassis transports the container between the loading point and terminal while the container remains on the trailer. Loading is normally performed with the container positioned at trailer height.

Efficient standard solution for regular container transport.
Container normally remains on the chassis during loading.
Suitable where loading access is designed for truck-height containers.
Often the most practical solution for warehouses and industrial sites.
Customs & Documentation

Customs procedures.
Integrated into the route.

Specific documents and procedures depend on origin, destination, cargo type, customs status and applicable regulations.

Export Customs Clearance

Export declaration preparation and coordination before departure from the exporting country.

Import Customs Clearance

Coordination of import declarations, customs presentation and release procedures at destination.

T1 Transit Documents

Customs transit documentation for non-Union goods moving under customs control where applicable.
