Enter: The Mobile Cross Dock
If your last-mile leg is lagging, you may as well write a check to your competitor.
We’re living in a time of instant e-commerce gratification where customers’ expectations are higher than ever. Retailers are setting the bar high with one- and two-day shipping options, and companies are feeling the heat to firm up their logistics and work faster & smarter than ever before to meet demands.
Your Secret Weapon to Conquer Last Mile
Think of our Mobile Cross Dock as a fully loaded last mile fulfillment center… on wheels. It’s a self-contained sorting center that arrives to your site with all the equipment you need to expedite last mile deliveries. They’re built-to-order, specifically configured to your operation, and offer the flexibility to multiply your dock positions without permanent construction.
Whether you’re delivering groceries, auto parts, pharmaceuticals, or anything in between, the Mobile Cross Dock is the flexible, efficient solution to boost your order fulfillment velocity.
Versatility of Dockzilla’s Mobile Cross Dock
Beyond gaining a competitive edge, here are a few other situations you might consider adding a Mobile Cross:
Your building is under construction & your go-to docks are down. Our Mobile Cross Dock can be a temporary hero, keeping your business fully operational with 10 instant last-mile dock positions.
Your business is booming, and you can’t wait for construction and permits to expand. Add increased last-mile shipping capacity in a few short months (not years).
You want to add a last-mile delivery hub in a remote or tricky location. Press pause on the realtor conversations and test your last-mile strategy—or set-up permanently- virtually anywhere before fully committing. Read a case study about a customer that used Dockzilla to pair a Mobile Cross Dock with an office trailer to add a last-mile delivery hub without brick-and-mortar.
Mobile Cross Dock Configurations
There are two ways our Mobile Cross Docks can help boost your last mile order fulfillment:
1) Attached to Existing Building
Imagine taking one existing dock door at your facility and instantly adding 10 last-mile dock positions. Our prefabricated unit rolls up to your facility and extends out (perpendicular) from a single dock door, allowing for immediate expansion.
2) As a Standalone Powerhouse
No facility? No sweat. The “mobile” element of our Mobile Cross Dock means it can be parked anywhere, turning an empty parking lot into a distribution hub. Because it’s built on wheel axels, it can be moved or relocated as you wish.
In a standalone situation, you have the luxury of flexibility to configure to your needs:
- Optimize loading and unloading: Install a built-in dock leveler for seamless 53′ trailer access, or opt for a ramp to accommodate various vehicle sizes.
- Create a dedicated workspace: Add an office trailer for employee comfort and productivity.
