As required, Hoondert will transport as well as tranship your materials. We have various transport vehicles, including (extending) flatbed trailers, tipping lorries, crane lorries, and vans. And if you need to transport goods across water, we have a range of pontoons at our disposal to serve you. To load and unload materials, we make use of various types of machines and extending cranes to handle these materials.
Vertical transport
Hoondert will help you transport virtually any material. Our fleet is very extensive and includes various types of tipping lorries, 6×6, 8×8 or 10×8, with a fixed bin or using removable containers, tipping trailers, crane lorries, flatbed trailers, and vans, with its own trailer if required, and a hazardous substances vehicle (ADR). For transport across small distances or rough terrain, we present the articulated hauler.
Special accessories
Lifting and hoisting work has special needs. That is why we have kubels, pallet hooks, platform clamps, stone clamps, and a variety of work bins, including the so-called flyer. This elongated bin is constructed in such a way that work can be done relatively easily in places that are difficult to reach. For instance underneath high viaducts or inside high industrial constructions.
Quality and safety
The sector vertical transport is faced with strict requirements. This responsible work demands high-quality equipment and skilled operators. In case of complex hoisting works, the working methods agreed upon and the specific safety measures are laid down in a special hoisting plan.
To guarantee that you are provided with the very best quality and the highest level of safety, we are ISO-9001 and VCA** certified.
Stevedoring work
Hoondert’s service package also includes the loading and unloading of packaged goods and sea containers. An extending crane, or, if necessary, a combination of extending cranes, will place the goods on the shore. If required, we can also look after your further transport needs to the hinterland.
