Metals & Materials / SPECIALISM

Aluminium

Light material. Careful handling.

Sensitive surfaces and long formats need suitable packaging. We plan between producer, processor and customer.

TYPICAL GOODS

Aluminium sections, sheets and semi-finished products

01 / THE KEY STEPS

From preparation
to handover.

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

01 / BEFORE COLLECTION

Goods & packaging

Delicate sections and sheets need protection from friction, scratches and stacking pressure. We record packaging, bundle dimensions and permitted orientation.

02 / ON THE ROAD

Transport & timing

Dispatch considers weight, length and loading method. Mixed formats are sequenced to preserve the required protection.

03 / AT THE DESTINATION

Handover & records

Receiving needs accurate product and quantity references. Packaging or surface issues are recorded through the agreed handover procedure.

AGREE IN ADVANCE

Vehicle suitability for coils, special dimensions and specialised bodies is checked in advance.

02 / A PLANNING EXAMPLE

Section manufacturer → further processor

Long aluminium sections travel in protected bundles. Planning combines length, securing and suitable unloading.

What brings the plan together.

Aluminium sections, sheets and semi-finished products

  • Surface protection
  • Loading aids
  • Dimensions

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