New playing field and major transfers:
The Logistics Centre is on the offensive!
Our logistics centre has developed considerably in recent months. Boasting an expanded storage capacity of an impressive 10,000 m², we are now in an even better position to process orders efficiently and flexibly. Our new area is currently around the size of 1.5 football pitches!
Our latest signing is a high-performing forklift truck with a load capacity of 5.5 tonnes. Featuring 2.4-meter-long forks, a low superstructure and a triplex mast, it can effortlessly manoeuvre the load into a 20-foot container. Short-passes in the tightest of spaces makes for precise handling of heavy goods!
The warehouse has also been expanded to include lifting beams that enable the safe movement of large consignments weighing up to 25 tonnes each. Organising has become a walk in the park.
We can weigh weights of up to 50 tonnes on our new scales – and since they are mobile, they can be used on site at our customers‘ premises. That means we can now also score points away from home!
We have purchased a container ramp for even more convenience and efficiency, which considerably simplifies loading and unloading. New lifting equipment (chains, lifting straps, etc.) ensure that every shot hits the back of the net without fail. With precision and reliability.
And yet another smash hit: as of now, we can handle the professional packaging of your consignments in our own facility – all under one roof, all from a single source. We can even manage the storage of containers directly on site – a safe bet for onward transport!
Our new tactical repositioning means we are ideally equipped to meet your project requirements.
Come and put us to the test!

Significant cost increases in permit procedures for large volume and heavy transport as of 2021
Dear Sir or Madam,
We wish to inform you about changes in permit procedures which will have a future impact on your large volume and heavy transports.
On 01.01.2021 an increase in fees for transport permits became effective, which can amount to almost three times the present fees for an average heavy transport.
The Federal Ministry of Transport has resolved that with the 54th amendment of the road transport regulations, on 01.01.2021 the scale of fees for road traffic measures will be changed in order to specify a nationally uniform scale of fees with uniform calculation base for the federal states for large volume and heavy transport permits.
With the introduction of this uniform tool, the federal states intend to ensure competitive equality and also take into account the costs to approval authorities.
On the basis of a basic fee and other factors such as the number of routes which are applied for, the number of authorities involved, and the size of the transport, etc., since 01.01.2021 permits have become fundamentally more expensive. Up to an amount of € 250.00 the permit costs are included in our offer. If the costs exceed this amount, they will be charged plus a handling fee of 10 %. In case of cancellation, from this point on, regardless of the vehicle cancellation costs, the incurred permit costs will have to be charged to you. In the event of cancellation, as of this time we shall have to pass on the permit costs to you regardless of the vehicle cancellation costs.
