In short
Big-bag transloading into a silo trailer is the start, not the end. Afterwards the material travels in bulk to the recipient, and the trailer eventually returns for service. In the PHS Magnum network, one base by the A4 ties together transloading, transport and service (trailers and concrete pumps) — which cuts downtime and simplifies logistics for companies operating mixed fleets.
What follows transloading
After gravity big-bag transloading into a silo trailer , the material moves in bulk to the recipient. It may be a plastics plant (PE/PP granulate) or a construction site, where binders and dry bulk feed the concreting process. Where dry bulk haulage ends, the concrete pump’s work begins — and both types of equipment need the same quality of technical oversight.
The SMIALA terminal handles up to 200 tonnes per day. After transloading, the trailer either delivers immediately or is staged in the covered yard until the haulage window opens.
The logistics chain step by step
- Goods receipt — big-bags, octabins or sea containers arrive at SMIALA (Chorula, 4 km from the A4)
- Storage — up to 2,000 big-bags in a covered, ISO 9001:2015-certified warehouse
- Transloading — gravity transfer into silo trailer through the top dome (no pneumatics, no grain damage)
- Bulk haulage — PHS Magnum fleet: 31 silo trailers (55–65 m³), 26 DAF XF 480 Euro 6
- Delivery — pneumatic discharge at recipient’s silo (plastics plant, construction site, grain elevator)
- Return for service — TDT inspection, aeration pad replacement, cleaning, paintwork
One network: from the big-bag to fleet service
- Dry bulk transport by silo trailer — bulk material haulage
- Silo trailer service — Spitzer and Feldbinder specialist service
- Concrete pump service — pompydobetonu.pro : the same binders and dry bulk we haul are placed on site by the pump
- Storage and packaging — warehousing and packaging services
So a firm with a mixed fleet (silo trailers + concrete pumps) has one point of contact — more in one service for the whole fleet .
Why keep it at one base
- Fewer trips — transloading, storage, haulage and service in one location (4 km from the A4, 180 km from the German border)
- Shared TDT schedule for trailers and concrete pumps — inspections bundled into one service window
- Shorter downtime — no waiting for a third-party workshop while a trailer sits loaded in a yard
- One invoice — transloading, haulage and service on one commercial relationship
Certifications and compliance
The SMIALA terminal and PHS Magnum operate under ISO 9001:2015, which covers the full chain from goods receipt to delivery. Every transloading operation is documented with a batch record, weight certificate and cleanliness protocol on request. For TDT-regulated trailers, all repair and inspection records are kept for the lifetime of the vehicle.
