A UK warehouse with re-packing and recovery of damaged loads

A warehouse on the UK market is not just a place to store. How the Milton Keynes facility joins storage, cross-docking, re-packing and recovery in one point.

The OTSL warehouse in Milton Keynes in the UK runs 24/7 and combines pallet storage, cross-docking, transhipment, re-packing and recovery of damaged loads. So when something happens to goods on the UK market, assessment and repair happen on the spot, without hauling them back and forth.

What the facility covers

  • Pallet and short-term storage.
  • Cross-docking and transhipment between vehicles.
  • Re-packing, straightening and rebuilding pallets after a tilt.
  • Recovery of damaged loads and inspection after a trailer breach.
  • Temperature-controlled space.
Cross-docking is moving goods from one vehicle to another with almost no storage, which cuts time and limits needless handling of the load.

Why a warehouse on the spot matters

When an event concerns goods already in the UK, the worst idea is to haul them across the channel and back just to assess the damage. A facility on the UK market allows a fast reaction: assess, document, re-pack and prepare for onward travel or return. The same facility also handles returns and complaints.

How we work

The warehouse is part of one process together with transport and customs, run by one responsible contact. We also offer labelling, goods monitoring and quality and quantity checks on entry and exit.
