Own Site

Own container hub in Turnhout: handling and storage under one roof

Eskatrans operates its own strategically located site in Turnhout, where containers are handled and stored efficiently. Thanks to our own reach stacker, we load, unload and move containers entirely in-house. This autonomy allows us to respond flexibly and effectively to changing conditions within the logistics chain, creating a strong buffer between the port and your operations.

Handling

Fast handling with our own reach stacker

Because we have our own reach stacker, we do not have to wait for external handlers or available terminal slots. A container can be removed from a chassis, placed into storage or prepared for departure again in no time. This saves hours in every schedule and even days during peak periods.

Our own reach stacker makes us completely independent of external handlers and terminal availability.

Storage

Storage as a buffer for your supply chain

Our on-site storage capacity provides customers with additional security and flexibility, especially during periods when congestion and unpredictability in seaports increase. Think of congestion, waiting times or delays at terminals. By temporarily storing containers at our site, we create a buffer that safeguards the continuity of your supply chain.

In practice, this means:

  • No demurrage costs when containers cannot be moved onward immediately.
  • Continuous availability of your goods, even when the port becomes congested.
  • Flexible delivery when your production process or customer is ready.

Turnhout is located at a key logistics crossroads between the ports of Antwerp and Rotterdam and the hinterland of Flanders and Limburg.
