Handling and Storage

Eskatrans operates its own strategically located site in Turnhout, where containers are efficiently handled and stored. With our own reach stacker, we manage all container loading, unloading, and handling entirely in-house.

This operational independence allows us to respond flexibly and efficiently to changing circumstances throughout the logistics chain, providing a reliable buffer between the port and your business operations.

Storage

 

Temporary storage as a buffer for your supply chain

Our on-site storage capacity provides customers with additional security and flexibility, particularly during periods of increased congestion and uncertainty at seaports. Whether dealing with port congestion, long waiting times, or terminal delays, we provide a reliable solution. By temporarily storing containers at our facility, we create a buffer that helps ensure the continuity of your supply chain.

In practical terms, this means:

  • Continuous availability of your goods, even when ports are congested.
  • Flexible delivery at the moment your production process or customer is ready.

Turnhout is strategically positioned at the crossroads between the ports of Antwerp and Rotterdam and the Flemish and Limburg hinterland. This makes our hub ideally suited as an intermediate logistics point for customers looking to seamlessly coordinate imports, storage, and onward distribution.
