3PL Support Built Around Real Freight Operations
IE Logistics provides practical third-party logistics support for freight brokers, freight forwarders and businesses that need storage, cartage and freight handling working together.
Our 3PL capability is built around real operational services including secure FCL and LCL storage, container pack and unpack, warehousing, FCL cartage and project or contract logistics.
By combining these services with our transport capability, IEL can help reduce the number of separate providers involved in moving and managing freight.

Integrated 3PL Capability
IEL’s 3PL capability combines the services freight professionals commonly need around containerised and commercial freight.
- Secure FCL and LCL Storage: storage support for full container load and less-than-container-load freight between transport stages.
- FCL Cartage: transport of full container loads between terminals, warehouses and delivery locations.
- Container Pack and Unpack: practical handling support when freight needs to be packed into or unpacked from shipping containers.
- Warehousing: secure storage capability for freight requiring temporary or ongoing warehouse space.
- Project and Contract Logistics: coordinated support for recurring, project-based or contracted freight requirements.
- Transport Coordination: access to IEL’s broader fleet and transport capability as part of the logistics process.
The exact combination of services depends on the freight, storage requirements, timing and transport movements involved.
What 3PL services does IE Logistics provide?
IEL’s 3PL capability includes a combination of storage, freight handling, container cartage and logistics support.
Services can include:
- Secure FCL and LCL storage
- FCL cartage
- Container pack and unpack
- Warehousing
- Project and contract logistics
- Transport coordination using IEL’s broader fleet and freight capability
The services used depend on the freight, storage period, transport route and operational requirements.
What is FCL and LCL storage?
FCL refers to Full Container Load, while LCL refers to Less than Container Load.
IEL can provide secure storage support for both containerised freight and smaller consolidated freight requirements, helping freight brokers and freight forwarders manage cargo between different stages of transport.
The appropriate storage arrangement depends on the freight, volume and length of time storage is required.
Does IEL provide FCL cartage?
Yes. FCL cartage forms part of IEL’s transport and 3PL capability.
Our team can support full container load movements between suitable terminals, warehouses and delivery locations using appropriate container transport equipment.
Where required, FCL cartage can be combined with storage, warehousing or container handling as part of a broader logistics arrangement.
Can IEL pack and unpack shipping containers?
Yes. Container pack and unpack services can form part of IEL’s 3PL support.
This can help when freight needs to be transferred between a container and warehouse environment before the next stage of transport or distribution.
Speak with our team about the freight type, container configuration and handling requirements so we can confirm the appropriate arrangement.
Can IEL combine warehousing with transport?
Yes. Combining warehousing and transport is a key part of IEL’s 3PL capability.
Freight can be stored between movements and then transported to the next required location using IEL’s transport fleet where suitable.
This can help reduce the need to coordinate separate warehouse and transport providers for the same freight movement.
Does IEL offer project and contract logistics?
Yes. IEL can support project-based and contracted logistics requirements where freight movements, storage or handling need to be coordinated over a defined period or on an ongoing basis.
The structure of each arrangement depends on the type of freight, volumes, frequency, storage needs, transport routes and operational requirements.
Contact our team to discuss the scope of your project or contract.
Who are IEL's 3PL services designed for?
IEL’s 3PL services are particularly suited to freight brokers, freight forwarders and businesses that need additional logistics capability behind their existing operation.
Our team can support customers who need transport, storage and freight handling coordinated through one experienced logistics provider.
Can IEL support container transport as part of 3PL?
Yes. IEL’s dedicated shipping container transport capability can be incorporated into suitable 3PL arrangements.
This includes FCL cartage, skeletal and lightweight trailer configurations, rail terminal access and specialised sideloader capability where required.
This allows container movements to be coordinated alongside storage, warehousing and other freight handling requirements.
Can IEL support ongoing 3PL requirements?
Yes. IEL can discuss both individual logistics requirements and ongoing arrangements.
For regular freight movements, our team can review typical volumes, storage requirements, container activity, transport routes and handling needs to determine which combination of IEL services is appropriate.
What information should I provide when enquiring about 3PL services?
Providing an overview of your operation helps our team understand which services are required.
Where possible, include:
- Freight type and typical volumes.
- FCL or LCL requirements where container freight is involved.
- Storage requirements and expected storage periods.
- Container pack or unpack requirements where applicable.
- Collection and delivery locations for transport movements.
- Frequency of movements for ongoing work.
- Project or contract requirements where the arrangement is longer term.
Our team can then determine the most practical combination of storage, transport and handling services.
