Multimodal

Calibre Routex Group meet a variety of demands and requests from our customers by providing them with comprehensive solutions from road to sea and air to rail, using our expertise, equipment, and worldwide network of long standing trusted agents.  We have considerable experience in handling multimodal shipments where different methods and modes of transport are required.

An outstanding example of our multimodal capacity is a recent consignment that required us to move freight via road from Austria to London, followed by air from London to Hong Kong, followed by sea from Hong Kong to Macau.

We specialise in finding alternative solutions which are cost effective whilst maintaining the highest performance possible.

International Road Transport

Calibre Routex Group understand that delivery of general cargo to destinations throughout Europe is time and cost sensitive.

We ensure that we operate and maintain extremely high delivery performance standards that you would expect for a European transport operation via our hub in Dartford.

Our transport services include full load and part load road services including timed deliveries to and from Europe.

Our warehousing and storage facilities are located adjacent to the M25 London orbital motorway providing us with excellent transport links.

Over the last decade the European division has been developing their infrastructure, systems and services to provide the best transport mode, or combination of modes, available to ensure supply chain solutions that are effective and cost efficient.

National Road Haulage and Distribution

Calibre Routex Group operate our own fleet of trucks that we are regularly developing and renewing to keep pace with our own ever changing requirements that in turn are merely a reflection of our clients own growth and development.

Our fleet of vehicles range from 26 tonne curtainsiders to multi car transporters and covered car transporters for our Auto Logistics division through to 3.5 tonne gross vehicle, multipurpose vehicles including tail-lifts. We have also designed and built a unique hybrid truck capable of carrying either 24 Euro Pallets or by using internal hydraulic ramps and all round air suspension we can load 2 prestige cars.

All of our drivers are ADR trained to enable us to carry class 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and class 9 dangerous goods cargo.

Our client base varies hugely from blue chip clients to cottage industries. No matter how big or small our clients all are treated with the same high level of service and respect and are afforded our own special attention to detail to assist them in enhancing their own reputation.

We provide road haulage services and distribution within UK. Being based in Dartford we have easy links to the M25. Road transport is one of our core products.

Ocean, Sea & Air Freight Shipping

Calibre Routex Group operate worldwide freight movements on a daily basis via both air and sea services.

Our deep sea operations offer LCL and FCL services for both exports and imports.  Through our trusted network of agents we are ideally positioned to handle your shipment whatever the requirement.

Whilst we regard ourselves as a company able to offer services that are truly worldwide we consider our speciality markets to be the USA, Far East, Indian sub-continent and South America.

Our air freight operations run in tandem with our sea freight operations and we are perfectly placed to handle any air shipments. By sheer definition airfreight requires an infrastructure that is fast moving and cost sensitive.

We also utilise the sea-air or air-sea services where appropriate; this has the benefit of being faster than sea freight and cheaper than air freight.

We use our extensive experience to propose procedures which will prove cost effective and reliable for our customers and enable us to streamline their inventory process.

We also provide warehousing solutions for several European road hauliers in conjunction with our own UK national transport fleet. The convenient location of Dartford is strategically perfect for European hauliers arriving and departing to and from the popular and busy Kent Ro-Ro ports. We are 1 mile from the M25 London orbital motorway and no more than 60 miles from the three main Kent Ro-Ro ports.

We also provide a uniquely designed inter-active web based stock control Client Portal, this enables clients to monitor their stock levels and the dispatch of their own goods.

All clients also have the benefit of access to our bespoke car client portal which allows them to view the movement of all of their vehicles. This also enables the client to download important and essential documents such as car survey reports, delivery notes, view photographs of vehicles and view any documents applicable to that car or vehicle. All clients receive an email notification whenever a document is posted against a vehicle.
