Road transport

The use of modern equipment is an important reason why LKW WALTER transports run smoothly. On our standard vehicles with up to 34 Euro pallet spaces, we use additional load securing equipment for even more safety.

The transport of consumer goods begins with selecting suitable equipment. Specifically, we transport your goods wih 13.6 m curtain-sided trailers (tautliners and mega trailers) as standard.

Our trailer standard:

• Telematics systems in all trailers
• 20 pcs. straps
• Customs seal

Transport-suitable packaging of consumer goods, form-fit loading and efficient load securing play important roles when transporting. Because you know your goods best, the responsibiity for the correct stowage lies with you. Please note that we can only safely transport well-packaged and stowed goods.

LKW WALTER provides extra safety by carrying load securing equipment such as edge protectors, anti-slip mats, etc.

Combined Transport

Well-trained transport managers and state-of-the-art IT systems support you in the exact planning and efficient handling of your transports. By providing stand-by trailers, we also offer you a flexible loading solution.

For sufficient loading capacities and best-possible ramp utilisation, excellent time slot management is absolutely essential. LKW WALTER supports you in this.

Accurate transport planning reduces waiting times during loading or unloading and therefore increases efficiency. In addition, we can provide you with standby equipment, subject to request. This allows you to decide when you are loading or unloading your goods and to make the most of your loading staff.

In addition, standby equipment allows you to create additional loading space on site and avoid the time-consuming search for an additional warehouse.

Thanks to the highest safety standards, your consumer goods are protected through the entire transport. From loading to unloading. Our transport monitoring informs you in real time about the current location of your load.

LKW WALTER stands for reliable and safe transport solutions. In close collaboration with TAPA, and in an intensive exchange with its members, we create reliable solutions for maximum transport safety. In addition, we are continuously working together on improvements.

Additional security measures for you:

• When planning the route, we incorporate safe parking spaces.
• Our transport partners receive regular training and are familiar with the increased safety requirements.
• Transport monitoring via GPS guarantees additional security.

Working together with organisations

Our employees come from more than 40 countries and speak to you and your partners in your language. An equally high level of communication compatibility exists between your and our IT systems. We guarantee a fast and easy exchange of data.

Our well-trained employees guarantee the highest standards along the entire value chain. In particular, our transport managers optimise the entire process from the transport organisation to the unloading. In doing so, they communicate with you and your business partners in your native language.

Beyond that we also know the global standards of GS1 for optimising value chains and we consistently apply these in daily practice.
