Agriculture
With an extensive fleet, experienced drivers and global multimodal transport solutions, Van der Vlist specialises in specialised and heavy haulage for the agricultural sector. We handle the transport of a wide range of agricultural machinery and static loads, including combine harvesters, pickers, forage wagons, field sprayers, fertiliser spreaders, choppers, beet and potato harvesters, tanks, silos, cable drums and irrigation reels up to a diameter of 4.5 metres.
For these transport operations, we use, amongst other things, narrow-bed low-loaders, low-loaders with a low loading floor and motor vehicles with trailers. Thanks to the low unladen weight of our low-loaders, we are able to transport goods efficiently. Where possible, we combine several smaller agricultural vehicles into a single consignment, which results in a cost-effective solution for our customers. Our drivers handle the loading and unloading independently, securing the load in accordance with the applicable standard NEN EN 12195-1 using our own equipment.
Van der Vlist also offers comprehensive global multimodal logistics solutions, seamlessly combining different modes of transport, such as road and sea freight. In addition to transport, we support various machinery manufacturers with storage and transhipment, as well as the assembly and disassembly of machine parts, both at our facilities and on-site. We also provide cleaning, paintwork, customs clearance and Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI). By offering these services under one roof, we ensure an efficient and reliably organised logistics chain.
