HIS Hamburg Intermodal Service plans and executes complex logistics projects for out-of-gauge cargo, heavy lift, industrial plants and oversized shipments – from feasibility study and permit management through specialist loading to on-site delivery and installation.
No off-the-shelf solutions – every project is planned and executed individually. From small oversized consignments to full-scale industrial projects.
Transport of cargo pieces exceeding standard container dimensions on flatrack or open-top containers. Width, height or length beyond standard limits: we find the right solution on any container route worldwide.
End-to-end heavy cargo solutions: RoRo transport, vessel charter for major projects, heavy-haul trucks and intermodal combinations – with complete permit management for overweight and overwidth loads.
Project loads requiring temperature control: reefer containers for pharmaceutical equipment, food technology or chemical plants. Monitored cold chain throughout the entire project duration.
Transport and delivery of production lines, turbines, transformers, presses and other industrial equipment – including packaging consultancy, engineering support and on-site installation coordination.
Structured and transparent – from the first conversation to successful delivery.
Analysis of the cargo (dimensions, weight, packaging), review of transport routes, port and terminal capacities and constraints. A detailed project concept is prepared including timeline and budget estimate.
Application for all required permits: over-length/over-width on road and rail, port handling authorisations, exemptions for international transports – in Germany and across the globe.
Coordination of crane and lifting equipment, lashing and securing concepts, loading onto flatrack/RoRo/heavy-haul truck. Continuous project monitoring and escalation management during transit.
Delivery to the destination including unloading, positioning and – on request – coordination of installation by certified on-site partners. Full documentation and signed handover report.
Experience, network and commitment – for your most complex transport projects.
Every project gets a fixed single point of contact at HIS Hamburg – from the first enquiry through to final delivery. No call-centre hand-offs; direct availability around the clock.
Through our worldwide partner network we reach every port and every destination – with local heavy-lift and OOG specialists on the ground at every major hub.
We handle all permit procedures in Germany and internationally – overweight, overwidth, dangerous goods and port exemption permits included.
Lashing calculations, packaging and securing recommendations to sea freight standards (ISPM 15) and engineering support for particularly sensitive equipment.
A clear upfront calculation of all project costs – port fees, crane charges, permits and transport. No surprises during project execution.
From sea or air freight booking through OOG handling at Hamburg Port to special haulage permits and on-site installation – HIS Hamburg coordinates every phase of your project.
Share dimensions, weight and destination – we will prepare a bespoke project proposal including routing, permit plan and cost breakdown.
