What drives the cost of a heavy transport
A heavy transport has no per-kilometre price. Costs arise from many building blocks that affect one another: vehicle, permits, escorts, route measures, crane and time. Knowing them allows targeted savings.
What matters
- Dimensions and weight
- Determine vehicle, permit and escort – every centimetre of width can count.
- Route
- Detours, route measures and bridge assessments cost money.
- Escort and travel times
- Night travel and multi-day journeys increase effort.
- Crane and waiting time
- Lifting and poorly prepared loading points are often underestimated.
Planning questions
We clarify these points before quoting – the earlier they are known, the more precise the plan.
- Can dimensions be reduced by removing parts?
- Is the time window flexible?
- Is lifting available on site?
- Can pieces be bundled?
- How well prepared is the loading point?
What we need from you
- Dimensions and weight
- Flexibility
- Lifting
- Loading points
Preparation: You hand over the cargo ready for loading with known lifting points – dismantling, assembly and foundation work are handled by your team or your installation partner.
What we do for you
What we organise
- Feasibility check per project with questions on missing values
- Coordination of permits, escort vehicles, route surveys and lifting equipment via partners
- Quote with the agreed scope once the transport can be planned
Good to know
With complete details on dimensions, weight and route you receive a quote that reflects your project precisely.
How it works
- 01
Request
You state the cargo, dimensions and weight per piece with units, rough route and time window – marking anything unknown.
- 02
Review
After the review we show which building blocks determine the price and where there is room.
- 03
Quote
After the feasibility check you receive a quote with the agreed scope, including partner services.
- 04
Execution
The quote lists the agreed services individually.
Questions and answers: What drives the cost
What does a heavy transport cost?
That depends on dimensions, weight, route, permits, escorts and crane. We state a price after the review.
How can costs be reduced?
For example by removing attachments, flexible dates, well-prepared loading points and bundled pieces.
Why are there no flat prices?
Because every heavy transport needs different building blocks. A flat rate would be either too high or not sustainable.
