What a Professional Lumper Crew Does

Lumpers are third-party laborers who help warehouses, distribution facilities and transportation operations load, unload and process freight.

The work can include unloading trailers and containers, moving products through receiving areas, sorting freight, palletizing goods and preparing products according to customer or facility requirements.

Some assignments may also require products to be separated by SKU, re-palletized or shrink wrapped before the freight can continue through the distribution process.

JC Movers has provided freight handling and lumping support for trucking companies and warehouse operations since 2009.

Trailers & Containers

Unloading Support for Inbound Freight

Inbound freight can arrive in trailers, shipping containers or other commercial loads that require additional labor before receiving operations can continue.

The load may be palletized or floor-loaded, and products may need to be separated, sorted or palletized after they are removed.

Knowing the trailer or container size, freight condition, approximate number of pallets or units and receiving requirements helps define the assignment.

If forklift support or additional warehouse handling is required, include those details with the service request.

Downstacking & Palletizing

Downstacking, Palletizing & Freight Reconfiguration

Floor-loaded freight often requires additional hands-on work before products can move efficiently through a warehouse or distribution facility. JC Movers provides lumper labor for unloading freight, downstacking products and placing items onto pallets according to the requirements of the assignment.

Loads may also need to be sorted, separated or re-palletized after unloading. Our crews can help organize freight so the product is positioned in the configuration required for the next stage of warehouse handling.

Freight reconfiguration can depend on product weight, load stability, pallet condition, handling limitations and the warehouse requirements provided for the project.

When requesting lumper service, let us know whether the freight is floor-loaded or palletized, the approximate number of units or pallets involved and any sorting, palletizing or reconfiguration requirements.

In-Facility Freight Movement

Freight Running & In-Facility Product Movement

Unloading freight is not always the end of a lumper assignment. After products are unloaded, sorted or palletized, they may need to be moved from the receiving area to another designated location within the facility.

JC Movers can support freight running by moving handled product toward the warehouse, staging or storage location specified for the assignment.

The required movement can vary depending on the facility layout, freight quantity, pallet configuration and the distance between the unloading point and the designated product location.

Provide the required destination inside the facility along with any pallet jack, forklift or other handling requirements when requesting service so the scope of the freight job is clear.
