How to Optimize International Transport Costs? A Case Study of Pigment Transportation
Task
BGT Group was tasked with organising the transportation of 45 pallets of pigments from Germany to Kazakhstan. The primary objective of the project was to optimise transport costs by maximising the use of the trailer's loading capacity while ensuring complete cargo safety and on-time delivery.
Project Overview
- Pigments transported on pallets.
- 45 pallets of cargo.
- Long-distance international road transport.
- The need to maximize trailer loading capacity.
- High requirements for cargo securing and even weight distribution.
Our Solution
To successfully complete the project, BGT Group's specialists developed an optimized loading plan using a curtain-sided trailer equipped with a Doppelstock system.
The double-deck loading system made it possible to load 45 pallets into a single trailer, maximizing cargo space utilization while reducing the transportation cost per pallet.

- organized international road transport using a curtain-sided trailer equipped with a Doppelstock system;
- carried out a double-deck loading of 45 pallets with balanced weight distribution;
- ensured professional cargo securing for every pallet throughout the journey;
- monitored the shipment along the entire route;
- coordinated the transport process from loading through to final delivery.
Results for the Client
- All 45 pallets of pigments were delivered to Kazakhstan in perfect condition.
- Thanks to the Doppelstock loading system, we maximized the trailer's loading capacity and optimized transport costs without the need for an additional vehicle.
- The client received a cost-effective logistics solution without compromising transport safety or service quality.
- The shipment was completed on schedule and in full compliance with the requirements of international road transport.
