Mechanical Engineering & Plant Engineering: Heavy loads, minimal time windows.
A technical defect in a large-scale plant or a missing component in mechanical engineering can bring entire production sites to a standstill. In these situations, standard freight forwarders are often too slow or too inflexible. Samedaylogistics specializes in emergency logistics for plant engineering. We move everything – from precision spare parts in hand luggage to machine components weighing several tons via exclusive charter. Wir bewegen alles – vom präzisen Ersatzteil im Handgepäck bis hin zu tonnenschweren Maschinenkomponenten via Exklusiv-Charter.
Special Transports
In mechanical engineering, it is not only dimensions and weight that matter, but absolute schedule reliability. We combine technical understanding with maximum logistics speed.
Express Airfreight / Next Flight Out (NFO):
For urgently needed machine parts, replacement components and production-critical equipment, we arrange transport on the next available scheduled flight – worldwide, with priority handling and continuous shipment monitoring.
Air charter for large components:
When loads weighing several tons, turbines or press tools need to cross continents, we provide the suitable cargo aircraft within the shortest possible time.
Express dedicated road transport:
Europe-wide special transports for oversized freight (out-of-gauge). We use vehicles with tail lifts or special equipment for autonomous unloading on site.
On-Board Courier (OBC):
For highly critical small parts such as control modules or sensors that a technician needs immediately for repair.
Project logistics & emergency planning:
We develop ad-hoc transport concepts for complex construction-site deliveries or remote locations.
Strategic solutions for plant emergency service.
Spare parts management:
Fast supply of service technicians worldwide to drastically reduce your customers’ MTTR (Mean Time To Repair).
Tool logistics:
Time-critical transport of special tools between different production sites to optimize utilization.
Heavy cargo & OOG:
Coordination of transports that do not fit into regular scheduled aircraft due to their dimensions.
Expertise through trained specialists and smooth customs clearance.
In global mechanical engineering, delayed customs processes are often the biggest obstacle. Our logistics experts and couriers are extensively trained in the specific requirements of plant engineering.
A key focus is the accelerated customs clearance of capital goods and spare parts. Our teams are highly familiar with complex documents such as certificates of origin or temporary exports (Carnet ATA). With this expertise, we navigate your freight through international customs checks without losing time. These trained processes ensure that your machine components reach their destination faster and that downtime costs are minimized.
Frequently asked questions about mechanical engineering logistics
Can very heavy components also be shipped by air charter?
Yes, we have access to a global fleet of cargo aircraft – from small Cessna aircraft for urgent parcels to Antonov or Boeing 747-F aircraft for loads weighing several tons.
How flexible are dedicated road transports for oversized freight?
We provide special vehicles at short notice that are designed for heavy loads or excess width. Our dispatch team immediately checks feasibility and the route.
Does SDL support documentation for third countries?
Absolutely. We check your freight documents in advance for customs compliance and support you in preparing the documents required for smooth export/import.
