With a tight lead time and hundreds of boxes to move, our time-critical team got to work on an urgent delivery.
ACS Time Critical keep a production line moving
When a manufacturing plant’s production line suddenly came to a stop, our time-critical team worked alongside our office in Johannesburg to arrange the urgent transportation of 240 boxes of automotive parts weighing over 1.3 tonnes from Thailand. With such a short lead time, waiting for permits for an aircraft charter wasn’t an option, so we set about devising an alternative plan.

We found a solution within hours of receiving this time-sensitive request, offering our dedicated hand-carry service as the most efficient means of expediting the delivery.

The cargo was collected in Bangkok and transported on three different flights, landing in Johannesburg in good time and avoiding further costly delays.
