Trucks on the road

Road, rail, waterway

We think all way

Groupage, special freight, heavy cargo – anything goes

Land transport services from a. hartrodt put you on the right road. We have the perfect product for all requirements. Economical groupage, FCL, LCL, heavy cargo, special transport, top-priority express shipping: we make sure that your goods will arrive safely wherever they need to go. Do you need to send smaller consignments? Maybe you want to combine several modes of transport or need special transport equipment? We will find the best solution for you.

Avoid traffic jams and protect the environment: with our short sea shipping services

No traffic congestion, significantly fewer emissions than road transport, optimum value for money: with short sea shipping, your goods travel economically with minimum environmental impact. Short sea shipping on just one ship replaces around 130 trucks. These departures are scheduled and can therefore be optimally integrated into our transport chains.

By rail to the Far East

Use the new Silk Road for your business relations with Asia! Our rail transports to and from China are an attractive alternative to other modes of transport. We offer three departures a week from Hamburg to Zhengzhou and Wuhan, for example – and there are four trains a week in the opposite direction. Our programme also includes regular scheduled routes to many other locations in Germany and the rest of Europe.

Our main rail transport lanes:

  • Europe – The former CIS states and back
  • Europe – Mongolia and back
  • Europe – China and back

    We configure various modes of transport in the best way possible to make sure your goods are shipped economically, reliably and with minimum environmental impact. While rail or ship transport is cheaper over longer distances, trucks are most flexible on short routes. We will gladly combine them for you.
