TRANSPORTS WITH PERFORMANCE AND PERSONALITY

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

Exceptional 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 drivers, the appropriate vehicles and also the necessary authorisations for the whole of Switzerland.

As early as the 1950s, the machines to be transported became larger and larger, and Emil Egger recognized the need to specialize at an early stage. As a pioneer, he was initially unable to easily draw on existing devices on the market and developed some aids himself as part of his own brand. Today, the offer on the market is much more extensive, ETE continuously invests in necessary equipment to meet customer requirements. Nevertheless, every now and then the do-it-yourself brand is needed to master every need.
