Machinery & special transport

Specialist transport solutions for machinery, heavy equipment and oversized cargo.

AVIO Group provides specialist transport for industrial machinery, agricultural equipment, construction machines and oversized loads across Germany and Europe. Every movement is planned around the equipment specifications, loading method, route conditions and delivery-site requirements.

Industrial & production machinery Agricultural & construction equipment Oversized & non-standard loads
Specialist machinery logistics

Heavy and non-standard equipment requires technical planning at every stage.

Machinery transport depends on accurate dimensions, weight distribution, operating condition, loading requirements and access at both the collection and delivery sites.

AVIO Group can coordinate suitable specialist vehicles, winch loading, cranes, forklifts, permits, escorts and route-specific arrangements where these are required.

Technical assessment

We review the machine specifications, exact dimensions, weight, operating condition, lifting points and loading requirements.

Route preparation

Road restrictions, bridge limits, access conditions, timing and any permit requirements are considered before dispatch.

Controlled handover

Loading, collection, transport and unloading responsibilities are confirmed with all relevant site contacts in advance.

What we transport

Specialist transport for machinery, equipment and project cargo.

Final feasibility depends on the machine dimensions, total weight, loading method, route conditions and access at both sites.

Industrial machinery

Production equipment, workshop machines, presses, generators, manufacturing systems and factory assets.

Agricultural equipment

Tractors, implements, harvest equipment, attachments and other agricultural machinery.

Construction equipment

Excavators, loaders, rollers, compact machinery, access equipment and other site machines.

Oversized cargo

Loads exceeding standard vehicle dimensions or requiring permits, escorts and route-specific preparation.

Non-running machinery

Machines requiring winch loading, crane support, forklift assistance or controlled positioning.

Project cargo

Special units transported as part of an installation, factory relocation, construction project or industrial programme.

How the service works

Five carefully coordinated steps from technical review to final delivery.

Complete technical information from the outset helps prevent loading delays, unsuitable vehicle allocation and route complications.

01

Send technical details

Provide the make, model, exact dimensions, total weight, photos and operating condition.

02

Confirm loading method

Identify whether ramps, a winch, crane, forklift, loading dock or other specialist equipment is required.

03

Review route & access

Collection and delivery access, road restrictions, permits, escorts and timing are assessed before confirmation.

04

Coordinate collection

The specialist vehicle, loading equipment, site contacts and agreed collection arrangements are coordinated before dispatch.

05

Complete delivery

The receiving site prepares suitable access and unloading support for a controlled and safe handover.

Machinery and special transport planning
Loading and site access define the transport solution.The correct vehicle, equipment and route can only be selected after the machinery and both locations have been properly assessed.
Information required

What we need to prepare an accurate machinery transport quotation.

Machine specifications

Make, model, exact length, width, height, total weight and operating condition.

Loading method

Ramps, winch, crane, forklift, lifting points, centre of gravity and available site assistance.

Site access

Gate width, turning space, surface condition, overhead restrictions and available loading or unloading area.

Route & timing

Collection and destination addresses, preferred dates, permit requirements, escorts and delivery restrictions.

Preparation & securing

Prepare machinery for safe lifting, loading, securing and road transport.

The equipment must be safe to handle and prepared for the agreed loading method before the specialist transport vehicle arrives.

  • Remove or securely fasten loose components, tools and detachable accessories.
  • Lower booms, arms, blades and attachments where technically safe and possible.
  • Confirm approved lifting points, securing points and centre-of-gravity information.
  • Protect controls, glass, exposed surfaces, hydraulic connections and sensitive components.
  • Declare fuel, batteries, oils, fluids or hazardous components before transport is confirmed.
  • Provide operating keys, technical instructions and responsible site contacts where required.
Machinery transport FAQ

Common questions before arranging machinery or special transport.

Exact requirements depend on dimensions, weight, operating condition, loading method, route and site access.

Can you transport non-running machinery?

Yes, subject to prior assessment. A winch, crane, forklift or other assisted loading method may be required depending on the machine and site conditions.

What dimensions and weight information do you need?

Please provide the exact length, width, height, total weight and details of any detachable parts, together with clear photos and model information.

Can oversized machinery be transported internationally?

Yes, where technically feasible and legally permitted. The route may require permits, escorts, border preparation and confirmation of destination access.

Who arranges the crane or forklift?

This depends on the agreed transport plan. Available equipment and responsibility for loading and unloading support must be confirmed before collection.

Are permits or customs documents required?

Requirements vary according to the dimensions, weight, route and destination. AVIO Group will identify the known transport requirements during the planning stage.

How far in advance should machinery transport be arranged?

Standard machinery transport should be requested as early as possible. Oversized loads requiring permits, escorts or route surveys may need significantly more preparation time.
