Break Bulk

‘Break Bulk’ is one of the fastest growing areas of transport/distribution within Australia’s logistics industry. Principally, product is collected from you the client and comes into the CENTRAL depot in ‘bulk’ (usually on pallets) and is then ‘broken’ into multiple consignments for distribution to various locations….hence the term ‘Break Bulk’.

The main advantage of using a ‘break-bulk’ service is that your overall distribution costs are greatly reduced by maximising the line-haul component (by sending in bulk) and minimising the local delivery costs. This is a great service for those businesses that have a variety of small parcel shipments, where the goods can be consolidated onto pallets and transported to Central for delivery.

Central were one of the pioneers for this type of service into South Australia. Today, ‘Break Bulk’ distribution is one of our standard service offerings….the service includes both the linehaul transport and all state level metropolitan or country distribution, plus you get it all on one account and deal with only one company.
