LCL Services

In transport and logistics, LCL is a simple acronym that stands for “less than a container load”. 

If your goods do not occupy a full container – that is, it is below the normal weight or quantity of a typical full container – they can be consolidated alongside goods from other shippers into a single container. That means your goods are classified as less than a container load shipment.

Benefits of LCL Services

  • LCL is a cost-effective shipping method, as you only pay for the space your goods occupy

  • LCL capabilities means even if your goods do not occupy a full container, you do not have to sacrifice important shipping deadlines

  • The ability to ship smaller deliveries is useful for a business looking to expand its target markets

  • Similarly, LCL is a cost-effective way for a company to test or experiment with a new supplier

  • Both LCL and FCL services offer tremendous flexibility to many businesses

LCL services are also beneficial to companies who find themselves having to quickly dispatch goods due to unexpected demand. LCL allows goods to be transported efficiently even when a company cannot fill an entire load.
