01 / THE KEY STEPS

From preparation
to handover.

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

01 / BEFORE COLLECTION

Goods & packaging

Structural parts need complete dimensions, weight and lifting points. Special geometry and overhangs must be known before planning.

02 / ON THE ROAD

Transport & timing

Route, vehicle and loading method follow the project. Special dimensions require checking transport conditions before commitment.

03 / AT THE DESTINATION

Handover & records

Unloading equipment, placement area and responsible contact are defined. Assembly or lifting is included only by express agreement.

AGREE IN ADVANCE

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

02 / A PLANNING EXAMPLE

Metal fabricator → installation site

Several structural parts must arrive in assembly order. Packing list, loading sequence and available unloading equipment are planned together.

What brings the plan together.

Beams, structural parts and metal building elements

  • Oversized dimensions
  • Centre of gravity
  • Crane and unloading conditions

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