The transportation of heavy machinery is a complex undertaking that requires specialized expertise and equipment. Optimized transport solutions are essential for ensuring operational efficiency and minimizing downtime in the industrial sector, where precise delivery times and minimal damage are critical.
Understanding the challenges of heavy machinery transport
- Size and weight: Heavy machinery often exceeds standard transportation limits, requiring specialized vehicles and permits. For example, using Mega trailers gives you 11% more loading space than standard trailers. In the end, this can decrease the total number of your trips. Further, different modalities have different maximum payload weights. For example, road transport allows 25 tons, and shortsea allows 28 tons, while Mafi's loading capacity runs up to 80 tons.

- Fragility: Many machines are sensitive to vibrations and shocks, making proper packaging and handling crucial.
- Accessibility: Deliveries to remote or restricted locations like city centers may present logistical challenges.
- Time-sensitive: Delays in delivering heavy machinery can disrupt production schedules and lead to significant losses.
Our Optimized Solutions
- Customized transportation planning: Our logistics experts carefully plan each shipment to ensure efficient routing and choose the best transit times for the company's goals. For example, express freight by road is a perfect solution for time-critical transport, when rail transport is more sustainable but depending on the route, it might not be the fastest option. Let’s work together to find your best fit!
- Specialized equipment: We utilize a fleet of specialized Megahuckapack XLS trailers to accommodate various machinery sizes. Compared to a standard trailer, you gain 11% of space and more loading height.
- Secure packaging: Our trailers are equipped in XLS system, which ensures that your cargo remain stable and secure inside the trailer.
- Experienced personnel: Our team of experienced professionals is skilled in handling heavy machinery and navigating complex transportation routes. Our drivers are continuously trained via Ewals Academy. Further, they can be supported on the road and (un)loading location by the Mobile Quality Team. This team of experts creates tailored safety or (un)loading procedures and supervises if our drivers obey safety standards.
- Real-time tracking: Stay informed about your shipment's progress with our real-time tracking system. Our trailers have solar powered track & trace system, so they are always visible across road, rail and shortsea.
