Heavy transport with equipment of our own
Heavy containers and loads carried with our Volvo FH 540, bought specifically for the job. Our own drivers and GPS track and trace, out of Rotterdam.
Heavy transport in brief
For heavy transport, Melle Transport bought a Volvo FH 540 specifically: a three-axle tractor unit with the power and traction for loads that are too heavy for a standard combination. That means we carry your heaviest containers with our own equipment and our own drivers, from terminal to final destination.

Volvo FH 540, built for heavy work
With 540 hp and three axles, our Volvo FH is the obvious tractor unit for heavy containers and loads. The extra driven axle delivers the traction and stability heavy transport demands, including pulling away fully laden.
Heavy project cargo too
Besides heavy containers we carry project cargo craned onto our chassis. On site we agree how the load is lifted and secured, so it sits safely on the chassis and arrives safely at its destination.
The same service as all our haulage
At Melle, heavy transport is not an exception but a full service: we plan the trip, drive it with our own drivers and keep you posted through GPS track and trace. From terminal to final destination, with one dedicated contact.
One party, the entire journey.
Heavy loads call for the right equipment. That is why we bought a Volvo FH 540 specifically for heavy transport: a three-axle tractor unit with the power for the heaviest trips. And you keep the same certainties as with all our haulage — our own drivers, GPS track and trace and one dedicated contact who advises you on the best approach.
