Heavy transport service

Permits and exceptional transport escorts

The EMIL EGGER heavy transport service includes the organization of special permits, private escorts as well as exceptional transport escorts (ATB) in Switzerland and the Principality of Liechtenstein (BF2/BF4). The so-called ATB (exceptional transport escort) drivers safely perform transport escort within the framework of national regulations. EMIL EGGER has sufficient ATB drivers in the required national language (DE, FR, EN, IT), the appropriate vehicles and also the necessary authorizations for the entire area of operation.

WE ENABLE SPECIAL TRANSPORTS AT HOME AND ABROAD

“We bring every load with special masses safely to its destination! Our specially trained and experienced staff offers heavy transport services in Switzerland and the Principality of Liechtenstein. We guarantee efficient planning and execution with all necessary clarifications, inspections and permits.”

Michael Dudler
Division Manager Heavy Lift Logistics, Member of the Executive Board

WE PERFORM THE FOLLOWING TASKS WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE ATB

Within the framework of exceptional transport escorts, we ensure that the vehicle and cargo arrive safely at their destination on the route prescribed by the licensing authority and in compliance with safety requirements. The focus is on road safety and the protection of road infrastructure.

ATB Authorized companies/persons may give road users mandatory traffic signs and use variable text display boards as part of the transport. Thanks to the exception and escort vehicles, it is allowed to deviate from the traffic rules and signaled or marked instructions during the journey, provided that sufficient safety measures are taken.

We leave nothing to chance! Our team will be happy to meet your challenges and support you in all matters concerning permits and transport escorts so that your goods are ready at the right time, at the right place.
