- Cost reduction : By avoiding the costs associated with the purchase, maintenance and management of containers, bulk transport offers a more economical solution, especially for large quantities.
- Fast loading and unloading : Thanks to dump trailers and equipment such as tractors equipped with PTO, loading and unloading operations are smooth and fast, thus reducing delays.
- Optimizing capacity : Trailers used for bulk transport make it possible to maximize the available space, which is particularly advantageous for large volumes of goods.
- Flexibility : Bulk transport is suitable for a wide variety of materials, whether solid, liquid or semi-solid. This versatility meets specific needs that container transport does not always cover.
- Less waste : By eliminating the use of containers or individual packages, bulk transport contributes to the reduction of waste and can be more environmentally friendly.
