Services

Special Transport

Special transport requires a high level of operational expertise, regulatory compliance and precise planning. Our company provides fully managed logistics solutions for non-standard, oversized and heavy cargo, ensuring safe and efficient delivery across Europe. As a forwarder, we cooperate exclusively with audited and certified transport partners, equipped with vehicles dedicated to extraordinary transport tasks.

Our logistics team prepares a complete operational concept, including permits, route surveys, loading supervision, escort arrangements and customs support if required. Every shipment is analysed individually based on cargo dimensions, weight, loading and unloading restrictions, infrastructure limitations and transit regulations applicable in each country.

Scope of Special Transport Services

We handle a wide range of non-standard cargo, including:

  • Industrial machinery and production lines
  • Construction equipment: cranes, excavators, drilling units
  • Agricultural machines: harvesters, tractors, sprayers
  • Boats, yachts and floating units
  • Energy sector components: generators, tanks, transformers
  • Steel structures, frames, beams and oversized modules
  • High-height cargo requiring special route clearance
  • Vehicles and mobile equipment with non-standard dimensions

We ensure the correct selection of trailers and equipment, tailored to the size, weight and handling requirements of each cargo type.

Equipment and Trailer Types

Depending on cargo specifications, our certified transport partners operate:

  • Open low loader trailers - for all types of high machinery of different types.
  • Closed low loader trailers - for CNC machinery and similar (maximum protection)
  • Extendable trailers - for long cargo such as hulls, beams and tanks
  • Widenable trailers - for extra-wide construction equipment
  • Jumbo open trailers - for light but voluminous cargo
  • Flatbed solutions - for oversized loads without enclosure requirements
  • Container chassis or platforms with twistlocks - for 20/40" container transport
  • Yacht trailers - trailers used to transport used/new motorboats and yachts with keel/mast.
  • Semi trailers - open and closed semi trailers for overheight machinery units.
  • Autotransporter trailers / ROLFO type - transport of new and used trucks of all kinds.

Additional equipment such as ramps, chains, lashing accessories, supports and cradles is provided when required.

Each special transport route is analysed to avoid infrastructure constraints such as narrow turns, weak bridges or height restrictions. Compliance includes:

  • Permits for oversized transport in all transit countries

  • Escort services (pilot cars) where legally required
  • Load securing according to EN 12195-1
