Steel transportation and everything that goes with it
As an experienced freight forwarder, we specialize in the storage and handling of steel (round steel, bar steel, square tubes, round tubes, heavy plates, strip steel, angle steel, structural steel, coils, etc.).
In addition to storage, this includes a customer-specific IT environment, which we create in-house, as well as the option of sustainable transportation via freight train and e-truck.

SIDINGS FOR STEEL LOGISTICS
Steel transportation made easy by rail
We have a total of four
sidings
. Three of them are located in southern Germany, the northernmost in Bremerhaven. We will soon be calling a fifth connection our own. By using our proprietary software, Denkinger Greedy Log 1.2, we are able to continuously identify the mathematically optimal solution. This also allows us to determine the most cost-effective transport mix between road and rail.
STEEL LOGISTICS BY E-TRUCK
From rail to road with low emissions
Our fleet currently includes several FH Electric vehicles from Volvo with a total towing weight of 44 tons and a range of around 250 kilometers when fully loaded. The next generation of
e-trucks
from Mercedes-Benz, which will be in use from the end of 2024, will impress with even more range and power.
