Construction logistics – site transport, heavy haulage and just-in-time delivery

For the construction industry, Speed Logistics delivers just in time to the site – from an urgent spare part in a sprinter van, through structural steel and prefabricated parts, to a heavy transport on a low-loader up to 200 t, including permits under § 29/§ 46 StVO and BF3/BF4 escort from a single source.

Construction site crane façade – Construction

On a construction site every hour counts: if the crane is standing ready but the prefabricated components are missing, costs for staff and equipment keep running. For the construction industry, Speed Logistics delivers just in time to the site – from an urgent spare part in a sprinter van, through structural steel and formwork material in a curtainsider, to a heavy transport on a low-loader.

Our dispatch team is personally reachable 24/7 and calculates a fixed-price quote within a few hours – including loading, CMR insurance and live GPS tracking. This way the site manager and foreman always know when the material will be at the crane.

Typical transports for construction companies

  • Construction machinery and attachments on a low-loader, with a permit and escort vehicle where required
  • Structural steel, girders and prefabricated components with excess length on a flatbed or semi-low-loader
  • Formwork, scaffolding material and site equipment as a full load without transhipment
  • Urgent spare parts and small items by express sprinter, including overnight

Heavy haulage and oversize: permit and escort from a single source

When the load exceeds the permitted dimensions or weights, we organise the complete heavy transport with low-loader capacity up to 200 t: permits under § 29/§ 46 StVO (German Road Traffic Regulations) are applied for in each affected federal state, the route is checked against bridge loads and clearance heights, and where required we provide BF3/BF4 escort vehicles or police escort. You tell us the dimensions, weight and preferred date – we factor permit lead times in realistically and give you a reliable delivery date.

Just-in-time delivery to the construction site

Construction sites have tight time windows: crane slots, no-parking zones, delivery only at certain hours. Our dispatch team agrees the time window with your site management in advance and guides the driver in precisely via GPS tracking. For multi-stage building projects we phase recurring deliveries – such as prefabricated parts in assembly order – so that no interim storage is needed on site.

Sites abroad and non-EU projects

We carry construction material and machinery across Europe as a direct transport – and beyond that to projects in Türkiye, North Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia. We handle the customs clearance in full: export declaration, T1/T2 transit procedures and, for temporarily deployed construction equipment, the ATA Carnet, so that your machine returns after the project ends without renewed customs clearance. Delivery terms from EXW to DDP are freely selectable.

How your construction transport works

You send us the dimensions, weight, loading and unloading point and the time window. We check the vehicle and permit requirements, calculate the fixed price and dispatch once you approve. During the journey you see the location live; after unloading you receive the signed proof of delivery for your construction documentation.

One point of contact for the whole construction project

Construction projects rarely need just one transport: first comes the site set-up, then structural steel and prefabricated parts in assembly order, urgent spare parts in between, and at the end the return of equipment and material. At Speed Logistics, a dedicated dispatcher coordinates all the journeys for your project – from the 3.5-t sprinter to the heavy transport. This reduces the coordination effort for site management and procurement and ensures that delivery dates match up across all trades.

Our multilingual 24/7 dispatch team (German, English, Russian, Turkish) is also reachable for night and weekend sites. Every journey runs with CMR insurance; for high-value equipment, extended value cover can be arranged. This way you have costs, deadlines and liability for the entire site logistics in one place.

Frequently asked questions: Construction

How short-notice can Speed Logistics deliver material to the site?

For permit-free transports we often dispatch the same day: after your enquiry you receive a fixed price within a few hours, then the right vehicle sets off – from an express sprinter for urgent spare parts to an articulated truck for full loads. Heavy transports additionally require the authorities' permit lead time.

Who takes care of heavy-haulage permits and escort vehicles?

Speed Logistics handles it all: we apply for the permit under § 29/§ 46 StVO for each affected federal state, check the route against bridge loads and bottlenecks and, where required, provide BF3/BF4 escort vehicles or coordinate the police escort. All you supply is the dimensions, weight and date.

What low-loader capacities are available for construction transport?

We organise low-loader and semi-low-loader capacity for construction machinery, structural steel and prefabricated parts up to 200 t unit weight. For excess lengths we use extendable trailers, and for tall loads drop-deck or lowered load beds. Our dispatch team selects the right equipment based on your dimensional details. We also arrange combinations with crane or side unloading at the destination.

How does just-in-time delivery work with tight construction-site time windows?

Our dispatch team agrees the delivery window with your site management in advance – for example to match the booked crane slot. Via live GPS tracking we guide the driver in precisely and report delays immediately. This way you avoid idle times for crane and crew as well as expensive interim storage on site.

Does Speed Logistics also deliver to construction projects outside the EU?

Yes. We carry construction material and equipment as a direct transport to Türkiye, North Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia – including complete customs clearance. For temporarily deployed machinery we use the ATA Carnet, so that repatriation after the project ends is possible without renewed customs clearance.

What does a construction-site transport cost?

The price depends on weight, dimensions, distance, time window and any permit or escort requirement. You receive a transparent fixed price from us including loading, CMR insurance and live tracking – usually within a few hours. Additional services such as express, weekend delivery or crane unloading are itemised separately.

Which mistakes throw the construction schedule off track?

Typical ones are an underestimated permit lead time for heavy transports, a missed crane or delivery window, and a lack of storage space for goods delivered too early. Speed Logistics factors permit lead times in realistically, agrees the time window with site management and phases prefabricated parts in assembly order, so that no interim storage is needed.

Why does Speed Logistics bundle all the journeys of a construction project with one dispatcher?

Construction projects rarely need just one transport: first site set-up, then structural steel and prefabricated parts, spare parts in between, and at the end the return of equipment. When a dedicated dispatcher coordinates all journeys from the 3.5-t sprinter to the heavy transport, delivery dates match up across all trades and the coordination effort for site management and procurement drops.
