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).

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.
