Complex solutions for complex machinery
The world of composites and manufacturing involves some pretty heavy machinery. Manufacturing goods for the aerospace industry, advanced air mobility and maritime and offshore industry requires complex machinery. Airborne can handle the whole manufacturing process in-house for their customers.
Airborne is a company that constantly pushes the boundaries in composites, challenges the status quo and drives advancements in technology and product development.
A composite is a material made from two or more different materials that, when combined, are stronger than those individual materials by themselves. Composites are used in a very wide range of industries including: aerospace (wings, fuselages etc), power tools, buildings, roads, bridges, applications in corrosive environments, boats, ships and many more!
When you have abnormally large machinery and you need to move it, you need a logistics provider with a network and the expertise to make shipments like these work.
Utilising our Accelerate solution
When Airborne needed to clear a 15,000 sq. ft. warehouse full of out-of-gauge or oversized cargo with a very short deadline – our Accelerate solution was the only choice.
With larger freight, you need to plan in advance. The Baxter Freight Team, with their expertise of completing out-of-gauge projects, set up the project to scope and plan the shipments.
Once a full plan had been put in place by our Accelerate Team, we were given just 3 days, on-site, to clear the warehouse. Airborne needed a provider that they could trust to not just clear the warehouse, but do it safely, securely and quickly.
In safe hands
To organise a project this complex and to such a strict time frame took huge collaboration between Airborne’s dedicated Account Manager, our Head of Account Management & our Accelerate Team who worked tirelessly for 2 weeks to ensure that every part that needed collecting had a trailer to be on.
Permits were secured and escorts arranged so that the out-of-gauge cargo could make its way from the Airborne facility to the 3 designated delivery points. The expertise of the Accelerate Team and the account managers involved have is the reason Baxter Freight were chosen and trusted to complete such a complex task.
25 loads, 300+ tonnes of materials, most of which were over 10m long, were cleared out of the Airborne warehouse and delivered in 2 days. Our Accelerate Manager, who’s expertise was vital to the Airborne project, was on site for both days to ensure everything went smoothly and everything was cleared successfully.
Time understanding the customers requirements, collaborating with the Accelerate experts has enabled us to deliver a complex solution for complex equipment.
