LVTmoto success story: storage of motorbikes, e-scooters and bulky goods as a logistics buffer

Storage and management of motorbikes, e-scooters and other bulky goods for LVTmoto, with Grupo Akoma acting as a logistics buffer that gives it the capacity it needs to keep growing. The partnership turns a common problem with bulky products —running out of space when activity picks up— into external capacity that is available, controlled and ready to support the customer’s growth.

LVTmoto’s logistics infrastructure and operations

Sector and activity

LVTmoto is a company specialising in the logistics of motorbikes and two-wheelers. Its business combines storage, handling and distribution of a product that takes up a lot of space, has a high unit value and cannot tolerate knocks or scratches. It is part of the Lagermax Group and, since 1998, has worked for manufacturers, importers, dealerships and private customers.

Operational location

Grupo Akoma’s own centres in the province of Barcelona, which provide additional storage capacity for LVTmoto’s operations.

Type of operation managed

Storage of motorbikes, e-scooters and other bulky goods
Receiving, identification and put-away by unit or package
Handling with equipment suited to bulky loads
Stock control and dispatch preparation to the customer’s requirements

Operational volume

Bulky product with a high unit value
Elastic capacity that adjusts to activity
Stock controlled unit by unit

Initial logistical context

Two-wheelers take up a lot of space per unit. When activity grows, the in-house warehouse runs out of room before demand does, and every new campaign or incoming shipment means finding space in a hurry.

Initial logistical challenge and critical operational needs

Initial situation and problems

LVTmoto needed a partner able to receive and store motorbikes, e-scooters and other bulky goods with the same care as its own operations, and to give it room to grow without having to expand its facilities.

Critical factors to be resolved

Gaining additional space without investing in its own facilities
Storing bulky goods in an orderly, accessible way
Protecting every unit during handling and storage
Knowing at all times where each unit is and what condition it is in
Absorbing inbound peaks without slowing down operations

Existing operational risks

In-house warehouse saturated during periods of growth
Damage caused by handling with unsuitable equipment
Loss of visibility over stock spread across locations
Commercial decisions held back by lack of space

Aim of the project

To have a stable logistics buffer: storage and management capacity for bulky goods available whenever LVTmoto needs it, with unit-level control and the handling standards a high-value product requires.
