Floor-loaded inverter crates trapped at the docks almost derailed our utility project timelines last spring. We solved our ocean-to-truck bottleneck by directing our containers to a nearby facility offering transloading and warehousing services right outside the harbor gate. Their crew transferred loose crates onto wooden pallets, pallet-wrapped the cargo, securely loaded dry vans, and held buffer stock until job sites were ready. Moving off the pier saved us thousands in port storage fees.
