BigMove partner Colossus Logistics is expanding its Locations

The Brandenburg heavy goods logistics company creates a new handling center for heavy goods

Wustermark – 22. February 2021 – On March 1, 2021, Colossus Logistics will start operating its new heavy goods warehouse in Wustermark near Berlin. The new hall with an area of around 7,000 m2 is primarily intended for the storage and handling of heavy goods. Among other things, railway shell car bodies, bogies and large assembly elements from well-known wagon builders are to be stored there. Due to the large capacity of up to 60 storing positions, 6-8 car bodies can be removed or stored on working days. Additional areas are provided for the storage and handling of other heavy goods. The new warehouse is equipped with a 25-ton quadro crane, a self-developed coachmover with a payload of 30 tons and several forklifts with a load capacity of up to 7 tons. The plans were implemented in close cooperation and with the support of BigMove AG.

With the operation of the large heavy goods warehouse in the freight traffic center Wustermark and its proximity to the Havelport, Colossus Logistics is moving even closer to the leading railway wagon builders in Berlin-Brandenburg. “The need for storage space of this kind is currently very high. With the hall constructed according to our wishes, we are responding to the high demand in this area in particular. Our company is anticipating significant double-digit sales growth. The new warehouse will play a decisive role in this, ”says Colossus Logistics managing director Klaus Pietack. The new location is to be certified according to AEO-S.

After the heavy goods warehouse has gone into operation, Colossus Logistics intends to expand further and is relying on the second expansion at its subsidiary, Havelport Berlin GmbH. On a 17,000 m2 site and around 13,000 m2 of paved port area, space is to be created for the transshipment, handling, storage and logistics of wood chips. A modern office building is also to be built there.

With the expansion of its activities at the locations in Brandenburg’s Wustermark and its partnership with the heavy goods logistics network of BigMove AG, Colossus Logistics GmbH & Co. KG wants to expand its position in the market for special logistics and strengthen the company for the future.
