Magnum moves books.
Lots of them.

Mangum Van

This is the story:

At Magnum we provide tailor-made shipping solutions for the book industry. Our unique, enhanced consolidation service not only simplifies the logistics process for our customers, but it also provides cost effective options.

Consolidation is our forte: saving considerable sums of money for each and every individual consignment.

No documentation – we do it all – so no documentation charges. No charges for clearing, customs and handling either – Magnum charges its customers by the kilo or per cubic metre.

We consolidate and ship only books. No farm machinery, chemicals, household goods, food stuffs or unidentified loads. Nothing to get in the way of shipping books. Just loads and loads of books…...

Magnum knows books. We know how to move them. You might say it’s our magnum opus.

Is shipping giving you a headache?

Cloud control

Every 15 minutes tracking data on every load throughout the Magnum system, on road, rail, sea and air is updated, providing ‘cloud based’ info in real time.

Our proud boast is that our customers invariably have no need to track their consignments. They know Magnum is on the case, making it happen.

However, the facility is invaluable to many of our customers who use the data for their reordering process.
