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.

MACHINE TRANSPORTS

EMIL EGGER Industrial Removals Jobs Jobs MachinesFor decades, customers in the field of industrial relocation and industrial assembly have relied on the sound expertise of EMIL EGGER AG. 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 brand self-made is again in demand to master every need. Whether relocating, bringing in or assembling machinery or replacing production equipment and facilities, we put our experienced team of experts at your disposal and lead your project to success.
