What special features should you pay attention to when transporting machines?
Machine transport poses specific logistics requirements due to the size, weight and often delicate nature of the machines. Here are some special features for machine transport:
Heavy goods transport:
Machines are often heavy and large. Logistics must specialize in the transport of heavy goods and provide suitable means of transport such as low-loaders or heavy-duty transporters.
Specialized packaging:
Machines often require customized packaging to prevent damage during transport. Packaging must take into account the specific requirements of the machine and protection against shock and vibration.
Lifting devices and cranes:
Lifting devices or cranes may be required when loading and unloading machines. Logistics must organize access to such equipment and ensure that personnel are trained.
Disassembly and assembly:
In some cases, machines need to be disassembled and reassembled at the destination. Logistics should offer these services and have the necessary know-how.
Security and protection:
The safety of the machines during transport is crucial. This may include the use of special seat belts, restraints and other protective measures.
Insurance coverage:
Due to the high value of machinery, comprehensive insurance against damage or loss during transport is essential.
