Each shipment is individual

Your shipment is unique. The nature of your shipment determines the mode of transport required, whether general groupage or combination transport. Or, as is sometimes necessary, separate, individual, transport. It can all be provided. We consider the importance of your shipment and always offer the most favourable conditions. Your wishes, the conditions of the exhibition organisation and the specifics of the location are all central to our approach.

Eye for detail

From the smallest package to a complete truckload: your goods are essential for the success of your exhibition. Delivery to the stand, on the agreed delivery date and exactly on time in perfect condition; that is what it is all about and Deudekom knows that better than anyone.

Drivers

The professionalism and experience of the truck-drivers should give you a great sense of security – their responsibility and careful driving coupled with precision. For Deudekom it already starts with the loading. Only carefully loaded trucks are allowed on the road. We provide you with assistance at the exhibition location, that goes without saying. It is all part of the total service and our promise to meet all your demands and expectations.

Fleet of trucks

Deudekom’s fleet of trucks is extremely modern – all, of course, are standard with tail-lift, air suspension, pump trucks, lashing bands, and blankets. Special large-volume combi’s and mega trailers with “Tautliner” sliding curtains and roller roofs for loading by fork-lift truck and crane, speed up the process of loading and unloading.
