01 / THE KEY STEPS

From preparation
to handover.

What matters for Machine Tools – and how we turn it into a coordinated transport process.

01 / BEFORE COLLECTION

Goods & packaging

Alongside dimensions, we need weight, centre of gravity and securing points. Sensitive axes, guides and surfaces are protected to manufacturer instructions.

02 / ON THE ROAD

Transport & timing

Loading method, body type and route are assessed together. Oversize or unusual weight requirements are clarified before confirmation.

03 / AT THE DESTINATION

Handover & records

Crane or forklift capacity, building access and handover point must suit the shipment. Indoor placement is a separate service expressly offered when needed.

AGREE IN ADVANCE

Oversized loads, heavy haulage and necessary permits are assessed and quoted per project.

02 / A PLANNING EXAMPLE

Machine manufacturer → production business

A packaged machine tool goes into an existing production facility. Dimensions, loading method and available unloading equipment determine the process.

What brings the plan together.

Machine tools, machining centres and machine parts

  • Centre of gravity
  • Securing requirements
  • Lifting and unloading points

The goal: coordinate goods, time slots and handover in a single transport order.

03 / FROM REQUIREMENTS TO ORDER

Well prepared.
Precisely planned.

The calculator carries over “Machine Tools” as the goods category. Add dimensions, weight, loading sites and product requirements for your actual shipment.

Ship machinery
  1. Specific cargo requirements

    Centre of gravity · Securing requirements · Lifting and unloading points.

  2. Packages and load carriers

    Quantity, external dimensions and gross weight per package; packaging condition, stackability and any loading equipment required.

  3. Route and receipt

    Full collection and delivery addresses, goods readiness, opening hours, mandatory receiving slots and reachable contacts.

  4. Documents and coordination

    External dimensions, weight and centre of gravity · Lifting points and loading aids · Protective packaging and unloading plan.

  5. Additional services

    Special handling, records, returns and agreed extra services belong in the transport plan from the outset. The exact scope is agreed before execution.

04 / CHOOSE THE RIGHT TRANSPORT OPTION

Your volume. Your deadline.
One coordinated plan.

Regular goods flows

For recurring volumes, we jointly plan collection frequency, delivery locations and capacity. Loading and receiving slots form the basis of coordination.

Individual shipment

Enter packages, dimensions, weight and the services you need. We then determine the appropriate part-load or full-load solution for your shipment.

Special requirements

For requirements outside automatic pricing, we agree the vehicle, approvals, handling and price individually. Oversized loads, heavy haulage and necessary permits are assessed and quoted per project.
