Special transports with Maxmove
Exclusive vehicle
No part loads, no shared routes: the vehicle drives solely for your shipment – from documents to machinery.
Bulky goods & machines
Bulky, heavy, or sensitive goods that no parcel service accepts – with the right vehicle class and load securing.
Plannable to the minute
Fixed pickup and delivery windows for deadlines that must hold: trade fair setup, production starts, spare parts logistics.
Insured & documented
Every special transport is insured, trackable live, and documented with a digital proof of delivery.
When a special transport is the only option
Whether the load ignores pallet dimensions or the delivery slot sits outside normal hours, special transports begin where the standard network stops. You describe the cargo and the constraints; we put a vehicle and driver on it exclusively.
Oversize and bulky loads
Around Chempark Leverkusen, shipments come up that are longer than any euro pallet and still have to cross the Rhine, where the A1 bridge dictates the route – and they suit neither a standard vehicle nor a consolidated plan. For loads like that you book the open flatbed as a special transport on request: one vehicle exclusively for the job, load securing to match, handover at the gate you name. Dimensions, weight and contact person go into the notes field – and you follow the run live on the map.
Nights, early hours and weekends
Cologne city-centre addresses accept goods only in narrow windows, and trade-fair builds or shop refits happen after hours anyway – miss the window and it lapses, pushing the build to the next day. A night or weekend special transport books as an express delivery: one vehicle exclusively, driven direct with nothing reloaded, handover at the delivery point named in the notes field. You see the available pickup window before booking, and the digital proof of delivery records the handover with photo, signature and time stamp.
Project and prototype runs
Around RWTH in Aachen, prototypes and test rigs move between workshops, institutes and partners in the border region towards NL and BE – and the moment one leg gets stuck in groupage, the experiment stops. For project runs you reserve a vehicle exclusively for the job; sensitive equipment stays on the same load bed from start to destination, with hall, gate and contact person in the notes field. Even booked at short notice as an express run, you see the instant price before you book instead of waiting on a quote.

Vehicles for shipments that break the standard grid
Special transports run on the larger classes: extra-long-wheelbase Sprinters, 3.5-tonne box vans and the open flatbed for loads that will never go through a rear door. The table lists payload, pallet slots and load area for every class; from-prices are calculated live by our pricing engine for the Cologne → Düsseldorf corridor, and the open flatbed books as a special transport on request.
| Vehicle class | From-price | Payload | Euro pallets | Load area (L × W × H) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sprinter L3 | Calculating price… | up to 1,200 kg | up to 5 | 4.30 × 1.70 × 1.90 m · 13–14 m³ |
