Metals & Materials / SPECIALISM

Metal Processing

Parts that connect production stages.

Workpieces and assemblies move between machining, finishing and assembly. We consider intermediate packaging and your manufacturing sequence.

01 / THE KEY STEPS

From preparation
to handover.

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

01 / BEFORE COLLECTION

Goods & packaging

We record machining stage and sensitive surfaces. Protective layers, racks and any residue information are clarified in advance.

02 / ON THE ROAD

Transport & timing

Actual completion and the next production requirement matter between stages. Collection and arrival follow that sequence.

03 / AT THE DESTINATION

Handover & records

Part references and counts enable allocation to the next stage. Reusable carriers return under an expressly agreed arrangement.

AGREE IN ADVANCE

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

02 / A PLANNING EXAMPLE

Machining business → finishing or assembly

Finished workpieces move to the next stage. Surface protection and timing are considered from the transport enquiry onward.

What brings the plan together.

Machined workpieces, turned parts and metal assemblies

  • Workpiece protection
  • Schedule sequence
  • Load carriers

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 “Metal Processing” as the goods category. Add dimensions, weight, loading sites and product requirements for your actual shipment.

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