Professional Furniture Logistics The logistical handling of your transport
Transporting furniture requires expertise and experience—and when these items are also fragile, unpackaged, or bulky, professional handling is essential. Well-organized transport is indispensable for ensuring that newly manufactured furniture—whether directly from the manufacturer, carpenter, designer, or overseas—reaches the end customer.
In addition to secure transport, we take care of all customs formalities and other additional services as required, ensuring that the entire process runs smoothly and without any additional effort on the part of our customers.

FAQ – die wichtigsten Fragen rund um die Möbellogistik
What is meant by furniture logistics?
Furniture logistics encompasses all logistical processes involved in the transport, storage, assembly, and delivery of furniture—from the manufacturer to temporary storage facilities to delivery to end customers or business partners. DACHSER & KOLB offers a complete logistics chain from a single source.
Who is furniture logistics suitable for?
Furniture logistics is aimed at furniture manufacturers, furniture stores, online shops, interior designers, and project developers. Private customers also benefit from tailor-made logistics solutions when moving house or having new furniture delivered.
What is the difference between furniture logistics and traditional furniture transport?
Furniture logistics goes beyond mere transport: it integrates planning, storage, delivery, assembly, and after-sales services into a comprehensive system. The result: greater efficiency, fewer interfaces, and higher customer satisfaction.
How does the “last mile” delivery work in furniture logistics?
Delivery is carried out by a two-person team directly to the place of use – including notification by telephone, arrangement of a preferred delivery date, and assembly on request. Packaging is disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner. This is particularly important for bulky or high-quality furniture.
What is meant by two-man handling in furniture logistics?
With 2-man handling, two trained employees take care of the delivery, carrying, assembly, or connection of the goods—ideal for bulky or heavy products.
How is quality ensured in furniture logistics?
DACHSER & KOLB works with trained specialists, specially equipped vehicles with lifting platforms, and uses professional packaging and securing techniques. Certified processes and track & trace systems also guarantee maximum transparency and reliability.
