Courier Services – fast, efficient express shipments to any destination in Europe (including Russia) via Frankfurt Airport, the most central airport in Europe for cargo flights.

Raisin GmbH has special dispatch vehicles for delivering goods to any destination in Europe, including Baltic States. Raisin GmbH express courier services are an excellent alternative (and often a cheaper one) to sending small packages or valuable goods by airfreight.

This door-to-door service can also include customs clearance (in most cases), if the client so requests. The cargo is transferred from the airport to its final destination in the same vehicle. The company has designated vehicles for transporting goods up to 15 cubic meters and a maximum weight of 1100 kg.

Advantages:

Financially Worthwhile – Inland express courier services are often cheaper than airfreight. This service is especially worthwhile for volumetric goods.
Safer – The service is considered safer than by trailer, and enables transportation of valuable goods.
Faster – Delivery time is at least as fast as airfreight, and for some destinations even faster.
Saves Time – Fast, designated transportation: Each transport session is carried out exclusively for the client, without consolidating shipments and without delays that are caused by dealing with additional goods or collecting/ delivering goods from/ to additional destinations.
Efficient – Once the goods are collected, the same designated vehicle transports them to their final destination. With express courier services over Europe, the vehicle collects the goods from Frankfurt Airport, transports them to the customs terminal, clears them from customs and continues to transport the cleared goods to their final destination.
Flexible – Able to transport cargo up to 180 cm high.
Tracking – The goods remain in the same vehicle from the moment they are taken off the plane at Frankfurt Airport until they reach their final destination. This simplifies tracking, as the goods can easily be tracked 24 hours a day.

Insurance:

This service includes insurance, in accordance with the CMR Convention (an international convention for the transportation of goods). Goods can be insured up to their full value, as per the client’s request.

Consolidated Cargo

Consolidated cargo refers to the transportation of smaller freight volumes from different customers that are consolidated and transported together in a single vehicle to their respective destinations. The key advantage of consolidated freight transport is the efficient use of available cargo space. By consolidating multiple shipments, transport costs can be reduced while offering flexible and cost-effective transport solutions.

Our central warehouse in Frankfurt am Main is an important part of our consolidated cargo logistics. Here, we handle the receipt, sorting, organization, and professional storage of individual components arriving from various manufacturers. We then consolidate and prepare the shipments according to the requested transport route for onward transportation. This enables us to ensure the structured, efficient, and reliable handling of your consolidated shipments.

The transit time depends, among other things, on the time required for the proper handling and transshipment of the cargo as well as the respective transport distance. Depending on the requirements, we use road, air, or sea freight for consolidated cargo shipments. Delivery is generally carried out door-to-door. Depending on the requirements, other logistics chains are also possible, such as door-to-warehouse, warehouse-to-warehouse, or warehouse-to-door.

Heavy Haulage and Oversized Cargo Transport for Heavy and Overdimensional Goods

Heavy haulage is required when particularly heavy, large or bulky goods exceed the legally permitted dimensions or weight limits for standard road transport. Such transports require careful planning, suitable specialist vehicles and, where necessary, official permits and a coordinated route plan.

Typical cargo includes industrial plants, machinery and technical equipment, structural components, yachts, boats, drilling rigs, gas turbines, steam boilers, excavators and elevators. Other goods that cannot be transported using conventional transport vehicles due to their dimensions or weight also require customised transport solutions.

We offer professional solutions for heavy haulage, heavy transport and oversized cargo transport. From planning and organisation to execution, we take the specific requirements of your cargo into account. Through careful preparation and the coordination of all necessary transport arrangements, we support the safe, reliable and timely delivery of your oversized or exceptionally heavy goods to their intended destination.

Temperature-Controlled Transport for Sensitive and Temperature-Sensitive Goods

The transportation of temperature-sensitive goods requires reliable temperature control and specially equipped transport vehicles. These goods include chocolate and confectionery, fruit and vegetables, fresh and frozen fish, seafood and meat, as well as other chilled and frozen products. Certain chemical products and dangerous goods may also have specific requirements regarding transport conditions.

We offer professional solutions for refrigerated and frozen transport. Our specially equipped transport vehicles feature modern refrigeration systems that allow the required transport temperatures to be adjusted according to specific needs, both above and below zero. This enables us to support the safe and reliable transportation of your temperature-sensitive goods while taking the specific requirements of each product into account.

As part of our air freight handling services, we take care of the correct preparation and documentation of the AWB based on the respective shipment details.
