Rhenus provides comprehensive services for free-flowing bulk materials that go well beyond mere transportation. We not only handle silo transport, but also take care of individual planning and complete execution of the entire supply chain.
Our focus on silo transport, which pertains to the transportation of bulk materials, especially dusty and free-flowing goods, is primarily within the construction and plastics industries. This enables the efficient transportation of large quantities of bulk materials via road or rail. We rely on our own Rhenus fleet, specifically equipped for these tasks, dedicated storage areas, and the expertise of a silo transport company. Our contact persons have years of specialised knowledge and are available in person at our locations in Germany and the Netherlands.
We are an indispensable part of the logistics in the construction industry, ensuring that all dusty and free-flowing construction materials reach their destination punctually and reliably, whether it's for local, long-distance, or cross-border transport, wherever our customers require them.
We transport not only construction and plastic materials that are positioned at the beginning of our customers' value chain, but also all dusty and free-flowing products that are located at the end of this value chain as waste and recycling materials.
Our main task is to transport plastic granules and powder for customers in the plastics industry using our silos.
In addition to the construction, plastics, and waste disposal industries, we transport dusty and free-flowing bulk materials for other industries such as wood pellets, industrial minerals, or agricultural products with our silo transport services.
Thanks to our own storage areas, we can temporarily store dusty and free-flowing goods. This ensures that you receive your goods exactly when they are needed.
Our modern fleet, with its various silo trailers, always provides the best means to accommodate your silo transport needs with the right equipment.
With digital invoice delivery, document exchange, order transmission, and modern track & trace, you are always well-informed about your transports at any time.
A silo transport refers to the transportation of bulk materials, especially those that are dusty or free-flowing, using specialised vehicles known as silo vehicles or silo trailers.
A silo vehicle typically consists of a closed container known as a silo. This silo can come in various sizes and shapes and is designed to protect the bulk material from external influences such as moisture, pollution, and contamination during transport.
Silo transports are widespread in various industries, including agriculture, construction, food industry, chemicals, and many others. They enable the efficient transport of large quantities of bulk materials by road or rail.
Dusty and free-flowing bulk materials such as building materials, plastic granules, waste products, hazardous materials (ADR), agricultural products (GMP+), animal by-products, industrial minerals, wood pellets and similar bulk materials are suitable for silo transport.
Yes, temporary storage is possible after the silo transport has been completed. After the bulk material has been safely transported to its destination, it can be temporarily stored in facilities such as silos, warehouses, or other suitable storage facilities. We are happy to find a customised solution for your goods.
