Delivery to Retail Hub
Goods, along with their reusable containers, are delivered to retailers' distribution centers. Empty RTIs are temporarily stored for future shipments based on demand or collected directly for return to the pool.
The pooling system ensures that distribution centers only maintain the necessary resources, preventing an overstock of containers.

“By renting through HB RTS, we never run out of carriers during peak seasons. Everything is clean, ready to use, and always on time.”

From intake to return

Pool management that works for you

1. Analysis

We review your volumes, lead times, and projects together. This helps us identify bottlenecks and where rental provides the most value. You immediately gain a clear understanding of what is needed.

2. Furnishings

You will receive a proposal with rates, availability, and logistics options. We clearly show which load carriers suit your situation. This allows you to easily compare and quickly choose.

3. Management

We deliver when you need it. We agree on clear delivery times and locations. After use, we collect the load carriers and take over maintenance.

"We work hands-on and with respect. Safety always comes first."

“We no longer need to invest in peak capacity and now only pay for what we use.”

HB distinguishes itself as a pan-European player offering solutions for specialised cleaning.

“Ordering load carriers has become very easy since we started working with HB RTS. I can specify what I need per order and immediately see the costs.”

“Thanks to HB RTS's pan-European balance, we can return crates locally and pick them up clean nearby, which saves many transport kilometers.”

“HB RTS's autofill system physically relieves our employees and makes the filling process much more efficient.”

"Thanks to HB RTS's depot network, we now save 74,000 transport kilometers every year."

“Since HB RTS manages our operations, I can fully focus on planning. Our service level to our customers has significantly improved.”

About Pool Management

Pool management is ideal when reusable transport packaging circulates through multiple links in the chain. Instead of separate agreements or manual management, you opt for a single central control system. HB RTS brings structure to complex RTI pools and supports long-term, scalable collaborations within retail and B2B chains. You can read more about pool management in the FAQ.

  • Suitable for complex and dynamic chains
  • One central control over RTI circulation
  • Supports scalable, long-term collaboration

our RTIs

We offer a wide range of reusable carriers that are available for immediate rental: crates, pallets, dollies, bulk containers, and liquid solutions. Our RTIs are suitable for a variety of sectors and are cleaned and maintained in accordance with food safety standards.

You choose exactly the types and volumes that suit your operation, without fixed stock.

Pool management is structural: reusable transport packaging circulates continuously within an open or closed chain. We manage availability, return flows, cleaning, and registration.

This way, you always have the right RTIs at the right time, without manual management or administrative complexity.

Yes. When standard RTIs do not optimally fit your chain, we develop customized solutions. This could be a modified version within the pool, or a completely new carrier that fits seamlessly into your logistics flow.

We work closely with producers and your team to carefully organize this.

The rates for pool management depend on the type of RTI, volumes, turnover rate, and the structure of the pool. We work with transparent pricing models based on actual usage. For larger or dynamic flows, we work with you to determine the most cost-efficient solution.

Within pool management, you have insight into stock, movement, and balances via our registration system. For specific RTIs, it is possible to work with track & trace solutions, depending on the type of carrier and your requirements. Together, we determine which level of insight suits your chain and processes.

No worries about your RTIs

We keep track of everything, so you can move forward.

We collaborate with you to understand your needs. Tailored, clear, and customised.
