The OTSL transshipment base in Kielce, at ul. Batalionów Chłopskich 71, handles transshipment, cross-docking and consolidation of loads on the EU-UK route. On site: a ramp, a lorry-mounted crane, forklifts up to 5 tonnes, pallet trucks and side loading and unloading, with 24/7 access. The base sits next to the Kielce fairground and works as a buffer warehouse before fairs.
What the Kielce base can do
The warehouse at ul. Batalionów Chłopskich 71 is a place of operational work: goods arrive, are transshipped, consolidated or briefly buffered and travel on. The equipment matches that role:
- A ramp: unloading and loading trailers without waiting for outside equipment.
- A lorry-mounted crane (HDS): lifting heavier and non-standard pieces a regular forklift cannot handle.
- Forklifts up to 5 tonnes and pallet trucks: from a single pallet to heavy machine parts.
- Side loading and unloading: handling vehicles that cannot be opened from the rear and goods that must be taken from the side of the trailer.
- 24/7 access: receiving and releasing goods at night and at weekends, whenever the route schedule requires it.
Cross-docking and consolidation on the EU-UK route
In Kielce this mechanism works above all on the British lane. We collect groupage from companies in the Świętokrzyskie region and the surrounding area, consolidate it at the base and dispatch it in full loads to the United Kingdom. A sender with a single pallet uses the same route, the same customs clearance and the same forwarding care as a full truck load, and the vehicle does not carry air. The same works in the other direction: deliveries from the UK are split in Kielce for addresses across the region. When a full truck pays off and when a part load does is explained in FTL or LTL.
A buffer warehouse next to the Kielce fairground
The base sits in the immediate vicinity of the Kielce fairground and its calendar shows it: before large events it works as the back office of exhibitors. The stand and the exhibits wait with us and approach the venue for a specific day and hour, in line with the booking. How slots and bookings for deliveries to Targi Kielce work is described separately, as is the scenario in which the slot changes and the warehouse backup saves the schedule. Why a warehouse right next to the venue is an advantage no truck waiting in a car park can replace is covered in the text on the warehouse next to the Kielce fairground.
Who the Kielce base serves
Three groups of clients. Companies from the Świętokrzyskie region and the surrounding area that export to the United Kingdom and do not want to build logistics of their own: they bring the goods to the base or order a collection, and the forwarder takes care of the rest. Exhibitors who need a buffer before a fair and a reliable delivery to a slot. And exporters and importers on the EU-UK route for whom transshipment in Kielce puts the flows in order: consolidation on the way to Britain, distribution on the way back.
