Van Egdom is a trusted specialist in the road transport of railway equipment across Belgium and Europe. Whether for complete rail vehicles or technical components, we offer custom-made services to manufacturers, network operators, maintenance providers, and public institutions.
Tram Transport
Transporting trams requires precision, expertise, and perfectly adapted equipment. We handle operations from factory delivery to inter-site transfers, whether for full units or individual sections.
We use railed trailers and low-bed extendable trailers with ramps to ensure smooth roll-on operations and secure loading. Sensitive parts are protected with tarpaulin-covered trailers to maintain their integrity.
Each operation is preceded by a detailed technical study: clearance profiles, gross weight, load distribution, and suitable road route planning.
Transport of Locomotives and Wagons
We handle the road transport of thermal, electric or hybrid locomotives, as well as freight and passenger wagons.
Our multi-axle trailers are engineered to handle heavy loads and operate between factories, maintenance depots, ports, and storage sites.
Our teams take care of positioning, securing, and load restraint tailored to the mechanical specifics of each chassis.
Transport of Work Trains (tampers, ballast cleaners, etc.)
We transport work trains such as tampers, ballast cleaners, regulators, and other heavy maintenance vehicles to and from Belgium and Europe.
These oversized units are transferred between sites, to construction zones or after overhauls, with custom configurations and full logistics support.
They are transported on extendable railed trailers, with ramp loading or craning if necessary. All rolling stock is safely secured.
Conventional Transport: Spare Parts, Rails, Bogies
In addition to rolling stock, we manage the conventional transport of:
- Rails, bogies, axles, car bodies
- Mechanical or electronic parts
- Safety devices and operational accessories
These components are transported on open flatbeds or tarpaulin trailers, depending on the protection needed.
Our logistics solutions allow for shipment grouping, faster lead times, and safe deliveries to industrial sites, marshalling yards, depots, or ports.
Equipment and Preparation for Train Road Transport
Every project is preceded by an in-depth technical analysis by our engineering office: route simulations, load planning, authority coordination, and route surveys.
Our fleet includes:
- Railed trailers for rail vehicle rolling
- Extendable, steerable low-bed trailers
- Tarpaulin trailers for weather protection
- Specific equipment: reinforced ramps, custom bogie/axle chocking, integrated lifting devices
All trailers are pre-configured to match the specifics of each convoy, reducing on-site time and optimizing overall transport costs.
With its railway transport expertise, Van Egdom stands out as a flexible and reliable partner, adapting each mission to the unique challenges of the rail industry.
