Unproblematic Delivery of Problematic Cargos

Distances on the Earth are measured in thousands of kilometers. However, such figures no longer scare anyone. Borders are disappearing, so complicated cargos can be transferred just as easily as simple letters.  They travel around the globe in trucks and trains, on ships and planes. Large and small logistics companies search for the most convenient ways of delivery and lat new routes while cargos get still more varied and complicated. 

Transporting animals, outsized and hazardous cargos is just as usual for AsstrA  logistics company as the transporting fabrics or timber.

 Some cargos literally require special attention. They do not fit into the standard limits and even require a special transportation route.  AsstrA easily finds an approach to the transportation of outsized cargos, be it agricultural machinery, readymade factory lines, drilling rigs or outsized containers for oil-processing plants. Certainly, such cargos do not travel alone.  AsstrA arranges for the heavyweight and outsized transport to be escorted and facilitates the trip by dismantling and mounting road infrastructure for the period of special transport transit.

Expert carefulness and experience makes it possible to organize safe transportation of hazardous cargos by road, sea and railroad (in case of combined transportation).  AsstrA provides special trucks from its own vehicle park and well-trained drivers for this purpose.  AsstrA can transport passenger cars from Europe, China and the USA by car haulers. Highly experienced employees will ensure safety and integrity during the transportation of tanker and powdered cargos: food, chemical and neutral products. 

Animals can travel almost with the same comfort as people do. At least, if they “use” the services of AsstrA logistics company. Horses, cattle stock, pigs and other animals are transported in specialized vehicles equipped in accordance with forefront technologies. An air conditioner is installed for traveler convenience. A ventilation and watering system and good conditions for rest help avoid injuries and excessive stress.

 It is not only its special passengers that AsstrA treats with such care and attention. If glass could express emotions, it would also find words of gratitude to the company for comfortable transit. 3210*6000 mm large-sized glass is transported in specialized semi-trailers. AsstrA experts monitor the loading and unloading process so that the fragile cargo stays intact. 

Besides the safety of a cargo and careful handling of its every component, AsstrA also offers a range of services for easy and convenient work. The company transports cargos by road, sea and air all around the world with its own vehicles and with the vehicles of its partners, provides comprehensive assistance with shipping documents, insurance and customs handling of cargos. Apart from that, AsstrA will help optimize costs by using railroad transport for combined transportation. In this case each cargo will be delivered door-to-door in apparent good order and condition as soon as possible.
