Winter transports: what you should know as a customer
Winter transports are more demanding — longer driving times, reduced visibility, unpredictable weather.
Longer lead times
From November to March we standardly plan 1 to 2 extra working days. Mountain routes can take longer.
Preparing the pickup location
Clear pickup and access areas. A 25 m lowbed needs space to manoeuvre. Gritted surfaces are mandatory.
Preparing the vehicles
Before transport: check coolant, tyre pressure and tread depth. For long-parked machines, a short test run is advisable.
Public holidays and weekends
The German truck driving ban on Sundays and public holidays remains in winter. Plan accordingly.
