A buffer stock within reach
The full container stands at your site as a buffer stock. The risk of running out of parts or goods is lower.
The full container stays at your site. You unload when you need the goods.
Warehouse on Wheels is storage on chassis: we leave the full container on its chassis right at your site, you unload it bit by bit and we swap the empty chassis for full ones. Haulage from the terminal and the return of empties to the depot run on our own trucks.

How Warehouse on Wheels works
We bring full chassis and take the empty ones away. You just unload.

- 3UnloadingYou unload the goods bit by bit, exactly when you need them.
- 4SwapWe swap the empty chassis for a full one and return the empty container to the depot.Handled by Conpath
The chassis take turns at your site: while you unload one, the next full one is already waiting. We set the rhythm of the swaps by how quickly you empty the containers.
What you gain
Save time, money and warehouse space
The container stands at your site and serves as your warehouse – with no truck waiting at the dock and no space taken up inside your warehouse.
Unload when you need to
You unload the goods bit by bit, at times you plan around production – not around whenever a truck happens to arrive.
No idle trucks or drivers
The truck just drops off or swaps the chassis and moves on. You do not pay for a truck and driver waiting at the dock for unloading.
No racking, no picking area
You need no racking or picking area, because the goods wait in the container. The space in your warehouse stays free.
Fewer outside drivers on site
One haulier brings and swaps the chassis. You do not have drivers from different companies coming and going on your site.
As many chassis as you need
When the flow of goods picks up or slows down, we add or remove chassis at your site at short notice.
When Warehouse on Wheels pays off
Above all where containers arrive regularly
Warehouse on Wheels is not for every shipment. It makes sense where you draw goods from the containers steadily – most often in four situations.
- A steady flow of goodsContainers arrive at your site at regular intervals and each one is gradually emptied before the next one comes.
- A full warehouse, a free yardThere is no room left in your warehouse, but you have a paved area outside where chassis can stand.
- JIT/JIS productionMaterials wait in the container at your site and you feed them to the line at its own pace – in portions, not whole truckloads.
- Distribution centresYou spread a regular intake of containers across the day without trucks queuing at the docks.

Frequently asked questions
How much space do I need for Warehouse on Wheels?
It depends on how many chassis stand at your site at once. For each of them you need just a paved area where the chassis with its container can stand and where the truck can swap it for the next one – nothing else needs to be built.
Who pays detention on a container left on a chassis?
Detention is on you, not on us: once the free days are over, the shipping line charges it under its own terms. That is why we plan the chassis swaps so containers do not stand longer than necessary. If you need to store for longer, it pays to unload the container into our warehouse in Milovice.
How many chassis will I need?
As many as your flow of goods needs. We agree the number around your operations and can scale it up or down at short notice, for example in peak season.
How is it different from shunting and from the Milovice warehouse?
Shunting means regular shuttle runs and trailer swaps between the terminal, the warehouse and production – it is about moving goods. With the Milovice warehouse we unload the container in our hall and deliver the goods to you when you need them. Warehouse on Wheels sits in between: the full container stands on its chassis at your site as your stock and you unload it bit by bit.
