Organic grain transport
Transporting organic grain by lorry requires us, as a grain haulage company, to take a number of special measures to ensure the quality and safety of the goods. Firstly, the lorry must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected before loading in order to avoid contamination with conventional grain or harmful substances. Secondly, the lorry must remain closed and sealed during the journey to prevent mixing with other loads or theft.
Transport of cocoa, amaranth, quinoa and other superfoods
Transporting cocoa and raw materials for other superfoods by lorry is a challenge that Naturkost Übelhör, as a specialised organic wholesaler, is very familiar with. Cocoa products, cocoa derivatives and superfoods in general are sensitive to temperature fluctuations, moisture, mould and pests. They must therefore be transported in special containers or bags that ensure a constant temperature and humidity. Compliance with quality standards, sustainability criteria and hygiene regulations is a matter of course for us in order to guarantee the freshness and safety of your products.
Seed shipping of chia, hemp, linseed, sunflower seeds ...
Naturkost Übelhör takes special precautions to ensure the quality and safety of its products. The most important aspects include:
- The selection of suitable packaging that protects the seeds from moisture, mould, pests and contamination.
- Compliance with legal regulations for the transport of foodstuffs, such as labelling, documentation and hygiene.
- Permanent monitoring of the temperature and humidity in the hold to preserve the shelf life and nutritional value of the seeds.
- Avoiding mechanical damage or crushing of the seeds by securing the load appropriately and driving carefully.
- Regular cleaning and disinfection of the lorry and the hold to avoid cross-contamination with other products or residues.
Transport of sugar and sweeteners
We take special precautions when transporting sugar by lorry to ensure the quality and safety of the product. These precautions include:
- The use of suitable containers that are clean, dry and free from foreign matter.
- Compliance with the legal requirements for the transport of foodstuffs, such as temperature control, load securing and hygiene regulations.
- Avoiding damage or loss of sugar due to mechanical influences, moisture or pests.
- Proper labelling and documentation of the sugar, e.g. weight, best-before date and batch number.
FTL transport of your foodstuffs
FTL transport stands for "Full Truck Load", which means that as a shipper you book an entire lorry for your freight and the entire loading space is available to you. The advantage of FTL transport is that the goods are transported directly from the sender to the recipient without detours or reloading. This saves time and protects the goods from possible damage caused by other goods or additional loading processes. FTL is therefore the optimal or even the only option if the freight is very large, time-critical or - as with foodstuffs - very sensitive.

FTL advantages
- Short delivery times, as the goods are loaded directly without combining part loads and no detours, stopovers or reloading are required on the transport route.
- Greater flexibility and adaptability, as you as the shipper can determine the collection and delivery times as well as the route.
- All goods reach the recipient at the same time, as everything is consolidated on one loading area, which makes planning and processing easier.
- Greater security and protection of the goods, as the lorry is sealed and only opened by the recipient.
FTL disadvantages
- Costs are higher for an exclusive delivery than for a normal delivery.
- Freight with low weight or volume does not optimally utilise the transport potential.
LTL transport
Another type of lorry transport is LTL = "Less than Truck Load", where your freight only takes up part of the loading space. As a freight company, we use the remaining capacity to transport partial loads from different customers. With LTL transport, several consignments are delivered from different shippers to different recipients.
LTL transport is particularly suitable for consignments that cannot fill the lorry completely and at the same time are not very time-critical or temperature-sensitive. Particularly in today's times of e-commerce, where many different and mostly light and small shipments are involved, this is the most economical forwarding service. This is why LTL freight forwarding has become increasingly important in recent years.
If you regularly ship goods that do not require a full loading area, LTL is a good choice.

LTL advantages
- Low costs, as the freight charge is split between several shippers.
- Small to medium freight volumes can be shipped economically.
LTL disadvantages
- The delivery time is longer, as the part loads first have to be put together and the transport route involves more detours, stopovers and reloading.
- Precise calculation of freight capacity, route and delivery times required in order to combine the part loads efficiently.
