Heavy & Oversized Transport – International Project Logistics from Europe to Kazakhstan, China and Central AsiaThe transport of oversized, heavy or technically complex cargo is one of the most demanding disciplines in logistics. When machinery, plants, modules, industrial components or complete project units do not fit into standard trailers, containers or LTL solutions, specialized heavy and oversized transport solutions become essential.
As a Swiss-based freight forwarder with a strong international focus, we organize professional project logistics and heavy transport solutions from Germany, Switzerland and across the EU to Kazakhstan, China and the entire Central Asian region – as well as return transports back to Europe.
We provide full door-to-door execution, customized technical planning, route surveys, permit and authority management, and multimodal transport concepts by road, rail, sea and along the key corridors of the New Silk Road.
International Heavy Transport – When Standard Logistics Is Not EnoughHeavy transport refers to cargo that cannot be moved using conventional transport equipment due to weight, height, width or length constraints.
Typical heavy and oversized cargo includes:
- Oversized machinery
- Industrial plants and turbines
- Transformers and generators
- Modular construction elements
- Tanks, pressure vessels and silos
- Steel structures
- Long pipes and profiles
- Construction and infrastructure components
- Vehicles and special equipment
- Project cargo for large-scale developments
These transports require precise technical preparation, specialized equipment and extensive permitting, especially on international routes between Europe and Central Asia.

1. Germany → Kazakhstan / Central AsiaKey export regions include:
- North Rhine-Westphalia
- Bavaria
- Baden-Württemberg
- Lower Saxony
- Hamburg / Bremen
- Berlin / Brandenburg
These regions regularly export machinery and industrial equipment for energy, infrastructure and industrial projects to Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan.
2. Switzerland → Central Asia and ChinaSwiss mechanical engineering, medical technology and industrial products are in high demand.
Origin regions include: Zurich, Bern, Aargau, Basel, St. Gallen, Zug and Lucerne.
3. EU-Wide Heavy Transport to the EastWe organize heavy transports from Italy, France, Austria, Benelux, Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
4. Return Transport from Kazakhstan, China and Central Asia to EuropeWe also manage return shipments of machinery, industrial components and project cargo back to the EU and Switzerland along the same eastern corridors.
Multimodal Heavy Transport Solutions – Road, Rail, Sea and AirEvery shipment has unique requirements. That is why we intelligently combine transport modes:
1. Heavy-Duty Trucks and Specialized Vehicles- Low-bed trailers
- Semi-low loaders
- Deep-bed and girder trailers
- Modular transporters (SPMTs)
- Tank bridges
- Mega and jumbo trailers
- Equipment for excessive height and width
Ideal for door-to-door transport within Europe and up to Central Asian borders.
2. Rail Transport (Eurasian Corridor)For heavy modules and machinery:
- Flat wagons
- Stake wagons
- Specialized railcars
Rail transport is robust and efficient for long-distance routes to Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and China.
3. Break Bulk Sea FreightFor large modules originating from China or the Far East:
- Heavy-lift vessels
- Multi-purpose vessels
- Break bulk carriers
- Ro-Ro vessels (for rollable units)
4. Air Freight for Time-Critical ComponentsFor spare parts or smaller but mission-critical cargo:
- Charter solutions
- Express air cargo
- Door-to-door air transport
