Handling at the port

Rhenus Antwerp handles steel and metal products of all kinds: coils, slabs, beams, tubes, bars, wire rods, and much more.

At our port locations, various crane systems, coil lifting devices and special equipment enable flexible handling – specifically according to the needs of the respective product.

Unpacking of coils

Rhenus Antwerp can remove the transport packaging of the coils on request before delivering them to the recipient.

Coil tilting

Coils can be transported and stored “eye to sky” or “eye to face”. Some of our locations have special devices to tilt the coils.

“Eye to sky” means that coils are positioned in the container with a vertical winding axis, i.e. the winding axis points to the sky.

“Eye to face” means that the winding axis is positioned so that it can be seen from the side.

Re-strapping of coils or bundles

Rhenus Antwerp reattaches the straps for the safe transport of coils or bundles of beams or bars upon request and in compliance with applicable regulations.

Stock control

Rhenus Antwerp has developed a tool for monitoring stocked goods in warehouses in collaboration with its internal IT department.

This application automatically sends loading and unloading orders to the warehouses, ensuring that the cargo is placed on the right truck. It also calculates the exact renting rate.

Certified surveys

When handling sensitive or high value materials, it is important that loading and unloading is carried out correctly. The presence of a certified surveyor can be requested for both unloading and reloading operations.
