Heavy machine transport for your plant
Whether it is one machine or a complete installation, we take care of the transport with maximum care and minimum impact on your production. Machine transport is completely taken out of your hands from the pre-planning phase to assembly at the new location.
This way, you can put your trust in one party, you don't have to deal with 5 different companies that need to be coordinated and you can move forward without any worries. For all options, please contact us.
The types of machinery we transport
We have experience transporting heavy machinery from many different sectors. Our experience spans a wide variety of machines, below are some of the most common sectors and machines.
Industrial machinery and equipment
Industrial machines and plants include heavy production machines (such as presses, CNC machining centers and generators) and complete factory plants or modules. This also includes complete production lines, which often consist of several linked machines that need to be disassembled and transported. This type of industrial equipment is usually large, complex and valuable, requiring specialized transportation.
Construction equipment and heavy vehicles
Construction equipment and heavy vehicles include machines from the construction and infrastructure sector, such as excavators, wheel loaders, cranes, bulldozers, asphalt machines and draglines. These machines often have exceptional dimensions and weights, so they often do not fit on average loaders, requiring special transport.
Agricultural Machinery
Agricultural machinery includes agricultural vehicles and equipment such as tractors, combines, sprayers, balers and other harvesters. These machines are also often too wide or high and often need to be moved outside the agricultural field. This could include moving a tractor or harvester to a customer or trade show.
Other specialized machinery
In addition to the above sectors, we also transport other types of machinery from other industries, for example, logistics machinery (forklifts and reachstackers), ship and aircraft parts, and large medical or laboratory equipment (such as MRI scanners or industrial autoclaves). When these machines are too large or sensitive for standard shipping, we transport them with due care.
Entire production lines
Of course, it is also possible to transport not only individual machines, but entire production lines. For this we also offer a total solution, from disconnection and dismantling, to installation and testing at the new location.
This allows you to move production as efficiently as possible and start as soon as possible at the new location. Would you like to transport your entire production line to a new location? Then contact us to discuss the possibilities.
Machine safety during transportation
Tightly under personnel safety comes machine safety. It is always a priority to ensure machine safety, which is why we carefully plan transportation, make a thorough risk assessment and deploy experienced technicians and suitable equipment to move the valuable machinery without damage.
Temporary storage during the move
Some heavy machine transport projects require temporary storage due to phasing of the heavy machine transport process or because the machines must leave the old location before the new location is ready to deploy the machines.
We offer temporary storage in these situations. The machines will be placed in a conditioned room and packed accordingly to ensure that the machines are not damaged by moisture, dust or temperature change.
International heavy machinery transportation
We have experience with both national (within the Netherlands) and international heavy machinery transport. There is a difference in the rules, permits and customs formalities required for border crossing per destination country.
International heavy machinery transportation within the European Union
Thanks to the European Union's internal market, there is free movement of goods between member states. This means there are no border controls or import duties for transporting machinery. This greatly simplifies paperwork.
We do not have to file a customs declaration within the European Union to transport machinery, but our transporters must have the proper transport licenses and must comply with the traffic regulations of each country they cross. Each country (even within the European Union) has different rules regarding special transportation.
International heavy machinery transportation outside the European Union
If a heavy machine goes to a country outside the European Union, we have to deal with customs formalities. When exporting, an export declaration must be made to customs in the country of shipment. The shipment must be accompanied by the appropriate export and/or import documents, documents such as the commercial invoice where the machine and value are specified, and a packing list with contents and weight.
Depending on the destination, additional documents may be required, such as a Certificate of Origin to indicate where the machines were produced. We take care of this for you as much as possible.
Heavy machinery transport provided by Nedmove
Heavy machine transportation is a large project that requires specialized knowledge, planning and execution. This way, the personnel are not at risk and damage on the machines is prevented.
We have 25+ years of experience in moving all kinds of machinery at home and abroad, both within the European Union and abroad. We can take care of your entire heavy machinery transportation from planning and unloading to assembly and connection at the new location.
That way you don't have to coordinate with 5 different companies and can get on with your other work without worry until the move is complete. Please contact us to discuss all your options.
