Special transport Hamburg

Special transports are all transports that have special requirements. These can range from heavy loads to refrigeration, special labelling requirements or a certain urgency of a transport.

As a forwarding agent for special transport in Hamburg Otto Halboom is traditionally interested in customised solutions and develops concepts for a wide variety of special transports. As an international freight forwarder, our catchment area is not limited to the Hanseatic city of Hamburg and we are naturally active in logistics for our customers in Germany, Europe and the whole world.

Most common special transports

The best-known special transports include oversized, heavy and long transports. The following definition applies to road transport:

High-capacity transport

Large-volume transport is defined as transport in which the transported goods exceed the permitted width of 2.55 metres. Large pipes or rigid components often fall into this category.

Long transport

If a load is longer than 22.75 metres, it must be declared as long transport. Rotor blades of wind turbines are a typical example.

Heavy haulage

As the name suggests, heavy transport is defined by an excessive weight - namely over 25 tonnes of transported goods. This includes prefabricated buildings (parts) or heavy, connected machines.

Among other things, these three properties ensure the declaration of a special transport. Of course, several classifications can also be combined. For example, a load can be wider than 2.55 metres and weigh more than 25 tonnes.
