Comprehensive Transportation Solutions

Oversized tires present unique challenges due to their weight, dimensions, and specific requirements for securing and reinforcing. To meet these demands, we offer customized solutions that cover every step of the process:

Water Transport: Tires are transported by water transport (ship) to designated ports. We work with trusted maritime partners to ensure safe and punctual delivery.

Port Operations: Once the tires arrive at the port, they are carefully unloaded from the ship by our trained personnel, following strict guidelines to maintain the integrity of the cargo.

Reinforced Loading into Wagons: Once unloaded, each tire is securely loaded into specially reinforced wagons. This step is crucial to prepare for the next stage of transportation, ensuring stability and safety during rail transit.

Railway Transportation: Oversized tires can also be transported by railway in covered wagons like the CMGV 250 m³, which offer the necessary space and security for such large cargo. Rail transport is an ideal option for moving tires over long distances inland, providing an economical and efficient solution.

Transport Process for Oversized Tires

Our seamless process makes transporting oversized tires hassle-free and efficient. Here's how we do it:

Initial Consultation and Planning

When you contact BTR Logistics, we begin with a thorough consultation to understand the specifics of your shipment, such as dimensions, weight, destination, and any special handling requirements. Our logistics team then creates a detailed plan tailored to your needs.

Preparation and Packaging

Depending on the mode of transport, we ensure that each tire is properly prepared and reinforced. If transported by rail, oversized tires may be loaded into covered wagons such as the CMGV 250 m³, which offer added protection from the elements and additional support for secure transportation.

Securement and Loading for Transit

Tires are carefully secured, whether transported by water or rail, to prevent movement during transit. For water transport, we use durable straps, braces, and padding to stabilize each tire. For rail, each wagon is reinforced to withstand the weight and size of the tires.

Real-Time Tracking and Monitorin

Our advanced tracking system allows you to monitor your shipment from departure to arrival. Our team provides regular updates, ensuring you remain informed every step of the way.

Unloading and Final Delivery

Upon reaching the destination, our crew carefully unloads each tire. If the destination is not directly accessible by rail or port, we coordinate with local transportation providers for last-mile delivery, ensuring that your tires reach their final destination on time.

Advantages of Multi-Modal Transport for Oversized Tires

Multi-modal transport, combining water and rail, offers unique benefits for oversized tire shipments. Shipping tires by ship and then transitioning to rail provides flexibility and allows you to capitalize on the strengths of each mode:

Cost Efficiency: Rail and water transport are more economical than road transport for oversized items, reducing the cost of shipping.

Environmental Impact: Both rail and maritime transport are environmentally friendly options with lower emissions than traditional road transport.

Reliability and Safety: By securing oversized tires in reinforced and covered wagons like the CMGV 250 m³, we enhance the safety and protection of each shipment against weather conditions and other potential risks.
