Warehousing & Distribution
Barnhart offers a wide array of distribution solutions that start with warehousing services in Erie, PA, Houston, TX, and Charleston, SC that expand across a number of global markets. We understand the warehousing process and the flexibility required to meet ever-changing market conditions. In addition to our own CFS capable facilities in Houston, Erie, and Charleston, our network of worldwide warehouse partners affords us the ability to create and integrate the solution that best meets your needs no matter how big or small they are. Between this supportive network and years of experience, our team is capable of properly packing and crating cargo of a variety of sizes.
Transload
Our transload services allow our team to transfer cargo from rail cars to trucks or from trucks to railcars. With our logistics speciality, we can determine whether or not transloading would increase efficiency for your supply chain and can implement it with cost-effective strategies in mind. We even offer door-to-door transload services if that is what’s best for your business in which we will load up cargo onto trucks, load it onto rail cars, and load it onto trucks again until it reaches its final destination. Given that our transload services do not require cargo to remain in the same container throughout its entire journey, our team has the proper equipment to transfer cargo through several mediums depending on what would maximize efficiency.
Crossdock
Barnhart’s crossdocking services are designed with efficiency and safety in mind above all else. Our team has created a network of warehousing and supplier resources across the globe allowing us to receive cargo from multiple locations at a single facility then pack them together on a singular truck to reach its ultimate destination. Our logistics experts work to make sure that supply chain efficiency is prioritized with your distribution needs with the ability to reorganize goods as needed before shipping out. This comes with reduced costs for warehouse space, inventory storage, transportation, and labor.
Heavy Lift
Heavy lift pieces are easily supported by our warehousing and distribution system, as we have the necessary equipment and experience to handle large cargo that requires specialized equipment. Some common heavy lift cargo that we work with include generators, transformers, reactors, and more.
Container Stripping & Stuffing
When a shipping container arrives at one of our warehouses, we have the experience and equipment necessary to get the cargo inside where it needs to go as efficiently as possible. Our team can strip cargo from the container if required and stuff it into a different container with dual priorities; keeping the cargo safe and using as much of the container’s capacity as possible. While we always strive to use as much of the interior volume as possible, we only stuff containers in such a way that all cargo inside is safely contained and protected from damage during transit.
Crane & Rigging
The advanced equipment at Barnhart allows our team to work with cargo of virtually all weights and sizes. Our team is highly trained at using this equipment, and that includes cranes and proper rigging. Our logistics experts consider which of our facilities have the right equipment for your supply chain including any necessary cranes for particularly heavy cargo. The gear for rigging is regularly inspected and compliant with safety standards based on the nature of the cargo, the frequency of use, and the experience of the rigger among other factors.
Export Packing & Crating
Barnhart prioritizes safety in all our services, so we’re happy to offer export packing & crating services for businesses that need their cargo protected no matter where in the world it needs to go. Our team has experience securing items in our warehouses and in transportation methods like trucks and trains in a way that protects all the contents during the journey. Our crating services allow customers to enjoy an extra layer of protection, as cargo is placed securely in a wooden crate. With reinforced corners, sturdy panels, and secure fastenings, our crates and transports provide the necessary protection to prevent cargo shifting.
Flat Rack
With flat rack container services, Barnhart offers warehousing and transport solutions for cargo that has unique and unusual dimensions. These containers can be loaded from the sides and from the top, and we have the equipment to maximize the available volume of these containers all while keeping your cargo safe. Our logistics team will work with you to determine whether a flat rack would be the best option for any cargo of unusual shapes your business may work with.
Re-Pack
Re-packing is a value added service Barnhart is happy to offer all our warehousing and distribution customers. When your packages receive reconfiguration requests or last minute changes, our team can make the necessary changes then repackage the items together until it meets the requested specifications. Additionally, we can use re-packing services to optimize the weight and general dimensions of the packaging to lower shipping costs. This is especially helpful in supply chains where cargo is moved across multiple shipping methods and continents, as keeping track of weight and size is key.
Pipe Yard
Our warehousing services include a pipe yard that is used to store particularly large and long items like pipes while keeping them safe, organized, and easily accessible by team members using cranes and rigging equipment. With our labeling and management system practices, every last piece in our pipe yard locations are carefully cataloged and easily picked when needed to fulfill orders or have cargo continue on through the supply chain.
