Transloading at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach

The San Pedro Bay port complex, made up of the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, is the busiest container gateway in the United States. Within that volume are flat racks, open tops, steel and machinery that most Southern California warehouses are not set up to handle.

Eastern Terminals is built for that freight. In Los Angeles & Long Beach we strip, store and reload flat racks, open tops, OOG and project cargo, steel pipe, coils, plate and aluminum with our own cranes, booms and heavy-duty forklifts, with outdoor yard storage for long and heavy material. We pull from terminals across both ports, so one company handles the freight from the pier to final delivery.
