Heavy cargo transport project management in Belgium, Europe & worldwide
Heavy cargo transport is a logistical and technical challenge that demands precision, anticipation, and multisite coordination. At Van Egdom, we offer a fully integrated “project cargo” approach, providing turnkey management of your operation — from feasibility studies to final delivery — across Belgium (Flanders & Wallonia), Europe, and worldwide.
Complete logistics solutions for heavy, oversize or sensitive cargo
Managing a heavy transport project goes far beyond moving large equipment: it means coordinating all human, technical, regulatory, and operational resources involved. It also means ensuring traceability, safety, timely delivery, and cost control.
We handle:
- Technical studies and clearance simulations
- Permitting for exceptional convoys (Belgium, Europe, outside EU)
- Multimodal chartering: road, inland waterway, sea (RO-RO, breakbulk, barges)
- Lifting operations, heavy handling, crane logistics
- Our own pilot vehicles for road escort services
- Coordination with local authorities and logistics hubs
- End-to-end project supervision by a dedicated contact
Multimodal integration: road, port and inland waterway
Our strength lies in seamlessly integrating various modes of transport into a single, safe and efficient logistics chain.
We combine land, sea, and river transport and charter RO-RO vessels or barges from major ports (Antwerp, Zeebrugge, Dunkirk, etc.).
Our teams ensure operational continuity through port lifting, transshipment, temporary storage if needed, and final on-site delivery (factory, construction site, plant, port, etc.).
International scope & centralized coordination
Based in Belgium, we coordinate complex projects at European and international scale with:
- Our subsidiaries and European partners
- Local authorities for permits (France, Germany, Netherlands, etc.)
- Ports and logistics platforms
- Experts in heavy maritime and inland shipping
Each operation is overseen by a dedicated “Heavy” project manager, who coordinates physical and administrative flows and acts as a liaison between all stakeholders: logistics management, construction sites, customs, carriers, crane operators, etc.
Chartering and technical equipment
Each mission is tailored to the cargo’s constraints:
- Multi-axle modular trailers
- Extendable, low-bed and extra-low trailers
- Lifting gantries, mobile and telescopic cranes
- Accompanied transport by our internal escort vehicles
- Tarp-covered trailers or flatbeds for tools, accessories or related equipment
Our teams are trained in specific handling techniques, complex load securing, and compliance with Belgian and European load restraint standards.
