Two-floor transport – when is it worth using and what savings it brings

What is two-floor transportation and how does it work?

Double-deck transportation, also known as double-deck or double-deck transport, involves the use of specially constructed trailers that have two levels of cargo loading. With this design, the vehicle’s capacity can be almost doubled, which translates into a significant reduction in logistics costs by reducing the number of necessary trips.

Benefits: economy, capacity, ecology

  • Savings: the use of two-floor transportation allows for a significant reduction in operating costs. The number of trips is reduced, resulting in lower fuel costs, less wear and tear on rolling stock and lower tolls.
  • Capacity: With two loading levels, it is possible to carry more goods at a single trip, optimizing the use of cargo space.
  • Green: Fewer courses also means reduced carbon dioxide emissions and other harmful substances, which promotes environmental protection and is in line with the environmental policies of many companies.

Examples of application and technical conditions

Two-floor transportation is best suited for transporting goods that are light but occupy a large volume. Double-deck trailers are usually equipped with a movable floor, making it easy to adjust to the type of goods being transported. A technical prerequisite is the adjustment of loading infrastructure, such as ramps or docks, to allow efficient loading and unloading.

Who stands to gain the most from this solution?

✅ Retail chains (retail)

Retail chains can especially benefit from two-floor transportation, as they regularly need large one-time deliveries of products to their stores. More capacity means less frequent runs, and therefore significant savings.

✅ E-commerce

In e-commerce, the use of double-floor transportation reduces the number of courier runs, thus reducing logistics costs, while speeding up the processing of large orders, which is crucial during seasonal sales spikes.

✅ Apparel industry

The apparel industry is characterized by lightweight, high-volume goods. As a result, double-floor transportation allows maximum use of cargo space, which translates into savings in transportation costs.

✅ Food industry (packaged)

The food and beverage industry, especially dry goods, beverages and prepackaged products, is also benefiting from the use of dual-floor transportation. The higher payload capacity makes it possible to deliver larger quantities of products at a time, significantly reducing logistics costs.
