Services overview Air Freight Sea Freight Road FreightRoad freight for domestic, European and international shipments where the cargo, route and operating conditions fit. Rail FreightFreightHub Logistics coordinates rail freight for suitable cargo on selected China–Europe and Eurasian routes. Project Cargo Industries overview Industrial & manufacturing logisticsKeep the production requirement at the centre of the freight decision. A missing component may need a different route from a planned machinery shipment; a large piece of equipment needs its weight and handling requirements understood before a schedule is agreed. Automotive logistics for production and aftermarket supplyA production-critical component and a planned shipment of replacement parts can travel through the same supply chain but serve different deadlines. FreightHub Logistics helps automotive businesses select transport around the cargo, receiving schedule and operational requirement rather than treating every parts shipment as an emergency. Healthcare & medical logisticsThe product's transport requirements should lead the freight plan. A diagnostic device, packaged clinical supplies and temperature-sensitive cargo need different handling information, documentation and routing decisions before collection is arranged. High-tech & electronics logisticsElectronics freight decisions need more than a carton count. Component availability, equipment value, fragility and battery content can all change the appropriate route and handling plan. FreightHub Logistics helps technology businesses bring those requirements into the shipment brief before transport is confirmed. Food and perishables logisticsFood freight starts with the product's requirements. A dry packaged shipment and a chilled consignment may need different transport, storage and handling arrangements, even when they share an origin and destination. The available shelf life also matters when comparing routes. Chemical logisticsA chemical shipment needs a clear product description before the freight options can be compared. Classification, packaging and handling requirements affect which routes and carriers can accept the goods. Some chemicals can travel as non-dangerous cargo; others require dangerous-goods documentation and specific transport arrangements. Renewable energy logisticsRenewable energy equipment may travel as standard containerised freight or as a shipment that needs individual project planning. Dimensions, weight and the delivery schedule determine the starting point. A consignment of electrical components and a larger item of project equipment should not be quoted on the same assumptions. Fashion and retail logisticsA collection launch and a routine stock delivery put different demands on freight. The receiving date may be fixed, while supplier readiness and shipment volumes still need confirmation. FreightHub Logistics helps fashion and retail businesses bring those details into a transport plan before choosing a mode. Consumer goods and FMCG logisticsRegular replenishment, promotional stock and larger inventory shipments each need a freight plan that reflects when the goods will be ready and where they must arrive. FreightHub Logistics supports consumer goods and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) customers through its Netherlands, Germany and China offices. E-commerce freight and inventory logisticsGetting stock from a supplier to the right receiving warehouse is a separate task from fulfilling individual customer orders. FreightHub Logistics supports international inbound freight and agreed inventory movements for e-commerce businesses, with dedicated e-commerce industry capability in the Netherlands and China.

Offices involved: Germany · Tashkent, Uzbekistan

FreightHub Logistics arranged air transport for a heavy-industry rotor bound for Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Packed in one metal crate measuring 520 × 165 × 180 cm and weighing 7,850 kg, the shipment required crane handling before it could leave Germany.

A crane at the airport

The project involved FreightHub Logistics’ Frankfurt and New York offices. The cargo first travelled by truck to Hahn Airport in Germany, where the team had arranged a crane to unload the oversized crate and place it in the airport warehouse.

Closing the transit movement at Hahn

The shipment travelled under a T1 transit declaration. At Hahn, FreightHub Logistics closed that declaration and prepared the customs documentation for departure from the EU.

The handover in Baku

The rotor reached Baku, Azerbaijan, after loading onto a freighter in Germany. At this stage, the onward flight to Uzbekistan was scheduled for the following day, with preparations in place for the next leg.

Prepare an oversized-cargo enquiry

Provide the packed dimensions and gross weight, a drawing of the crate and its lifting points, and the collection and delivery locations. Identify any lifting equipment available at either end and state the required delivery date. These details let the handling plan be considered alongside the air transport options.
