FROM PIONEER TO PREMIUM PROVIDER

TRANSPORTS WITH PERFORMANCE AND PERSONALITY

EMIL EGGER AG is a leader in the heavy lift sector and thanks to the long tradition we have translated the pioneering spirit of the former founder Emil Egger into the present day as a premium supplier. The perfect interaction of state-of-the-art technology and a competent team relieves the burden on customers and brings the highest performance to solve all the challenges that are placed on us.

EXCEPTIONAL TRANSPORTS OR HEAVY TRANSPORT SERVICE – WE ACCOMPANY YOU FROM A TO Z

Exceptional transports or heavy transports are transports with excess masses. In Switzerland, police escorts are mandatory above certain masses and weights. Since 2019, these police tasks may also be performed by specially trained private personnel. In the corresponding special permits / exceptional transport permits, the respective regulations are issued by the state. The so-called ATB (exceptional transport escort) drivers safely perform transport escort within the framework of national regulations. EMIL EGGER has sufficient ATB riders, the appropriate vehicles and also the necessary authorisations for the whole of Switzerland.

SPECIAL TRANSPORTS – MORE PERFORMANCE THAT MAKES MORE POSSIBLE

Special transports are not only low loaders of all kinds and dozens of special tractors, but above all solutions from A to Z. As a full-service provider with the most powerful fleet in Switzerland, we are ideally equipped for this and manage entire projects at the customer’s request. Tons of goods of various sizes and lengths are transported by us in Switzerland, but also beyond its borders. Additional services such as route clarification, obtaining the necessary permits, organizing the escort and project management are part of our service portfolio as standard.

MACHINE TRANSPORTS

 

For decades, customers have relied on the sound expertise of EMIL EGGER AG in the field of machine transport / machine relocation. The extensive fleet of vehicles is also highly specialised in this area in order to optimally cover the needs of the individual machine customers. The transport of delicate new machines with special tarpaulin vehicles of all kinds is one of our daily tasks. Even machines with excess width and height are transported quickly and gently thanks to sophisticated tarpaulin systems and the many years of experience of our specially trained chauffeurs.

At EMIL EGGER AG, however, machine transport is only one part of the complete solution. Various gears interlock so that the machine collection at the overseas ports, the customs clearance, the unloading with forklift / crane and the delivery to the end customer can be carried out by the industrial relocation professionals from a single source and with their own resources. This allows the manufacturers to concentrate fully on their core competencies such as commissioning / service.

ETE is the leading Swiss professional in new machine logistics for solutions from A to Z.
