Special transport

Your machine, silo or cable reel needs to be moved to a new destination. But how do you transport a load that is exceptionally tall, wide or heavy? Van de Wetering assesses the options for you. With specially developed equipment, experienced staff and route knowledge, we carefully prepare your transport. Tell us what you want to transport and where it needs to go, and we will assess which approach is suitable.

What do we transport as special loads?

Van de Wetering handles a wide range of special transport requirements:

Loading and unloading tailored to your transport

In addition to the transport itself, the activities at the collection and delivery locations are important. How will the object be loaded onto the vehicle, and how will it be unloaded at its destination? Van de Wetering takes these steps into account when assessing your enquiry. We tailor the approach to the available space and facilities, ensuring that loading, transport and unloading are coordinated.

Our fleet for special transport

Van de Wetering has its own fleet of low loaders, semi-low loaders and vessel bed trailers. Our low loaders are built to our own specifications. Their low loading height makes them suitable for transporting tall objects. To provide additional clearance, the load can temporarily be lowered to approximately two centimetres above the ground. Based on the dimensions, weight and shape of your cargo, we determine which vehicle in our fleet is best suited to your transport.

A carefully planned route

Finding a suitable route for special transport involves more than calculating the distance. Bridges, overpasses, bends and narrow passages can restrict access. We therefore use our own database of clearance heights and widths, which is updated while on the road. If required, our escort drivers carry out a route survey in advance to identify potential obstacles.

special transport permit and transport escorts

The requirements for a transport operation depend on the load and the route. Our transport coordinators therefore take local regulations and the necessary permits into account. We also assess which transport escorts are needed. We discuss the required measures and how they will be coordinated in advance, so that the conditions applicable to your transport are clear.

International special transport

Van de Wetering provides transport within Europe and to Turkey, North Africa and Asia. Conditions and regulations for cross-border transport can vary from country to country. We take these differences into account when preparing the international route. With the exact collection and delivery locations, we can assess how the destination affects the planning and execution of your transport.

How much does special transport cost?

The price is determined for each individual assignment. Dimensions, weight and the equipment required all play a role, as does access to the collection and delivery locations. Potential obstacles, route surveys, permits and transport escorts can also affect the cost. Based on your transport details, Van de Wetering prepares a quotation that reflects the work required for your enquiry.
