Eén aanspreekpunt voor al uw zwaar transport

Zwaar transport organiseren is geen eenvoudige klus. Elk land hanteert eigen regels, procedures en eisen voor lengte, breedte, gewicht en route. U heeft vaak te maken met meerdere overheidsinstanties, uiteenlopende aanvraagformulieren en – niet onbelangrijk – een taalbarrière. EPS neemt u dat werk uit handen. Al sinds 1992 helpen wij transporteurs in heel Europa aan de juiste vergunningen en begeleiden we het proces van A tot Z.

We brengen routes in kaart, houden rekening met obstakels en regelen indien nodig verkeersmaatregelen of begeleiding. Dankzij ons sterke netwerk en jarenlange ervaring weet u zeker dat alles klopt. Eén aanvraag, één aanspreekpunt, volledig geregeld — zodat u zich kunt richten op wat écht telt: uw transport veilig en efficiënt op de plek van bestemming krijgen.

Voorkom vertraging en fouten bij zwaar transport

Zwaar transport vraagt niet alleen om vergunningen, maar ook om inzicht. In de praktijk zien we vaak dat transporten vertraging oplopen door kleine fouten: een ontbrekend document, verkeerde timing, of een route die onverwacht geblokkeerd is. Ook gebeurt het regelmatig dat een vergunning niet geldig is in het volgende land — met stilstand en boetes tot gevolg.

European Permit Service voorkomt dit. Dankzij onze ervaring en Europese dekking stemmen we alles op elkaar af: vergunningen, begeleiding, route en uitvoering. We signaleren knelpunten voordat ze problemen worden. Dat maakt EPS geen extra stap, maar juist een slimme zet bij ieder zwaar transport. Zo komt u verder — letterlijk én figuurlijk.

Veelgestelde vragen over zwaar transport

Wat is het verschil tussen zwaar transport en uitzonderlijk vervoer?

De termen worden vaak door elkaar gebruikt, maar er is een nuance. Zwaar transport verwijst specifiek naar ladingen die een bepaald gewicht overschrijden — meestal meer dan 44 ton. Uitzonderlijk vervoer gaat breder: dit omvat ook transporten die afwijken op het gebied van lengte, breedte of hoogte. In beide gevallen zijn er afwijkingen van de standaardvoorschriften, en is een vergunning of speciale begeleiding verplicht. EPS regelt beide soorten vervoer en helpt u bepalen in welke categorie uw transport valt én wat daarvoor nodig is per land.

Hoe weet ik of ik een vergunning nodig heb voor mijn transport?

Of u een vergunning nodig heeft voor zwaar transport hangt af van de afmetingen, het gewicht én de landen waar u doorheen rijdt. Elk land heeft zijn eigen drempelwaarden. Zo kan in Duitsland al bij een breedte van 3 meter een ontheffing nodig zijn, terwijl in Frankrijk dit pas bij 3,5 meter geldt. EPS heeft deze kennis per land paraat en kan u direct vertellen of uw rit vergunningsplichtig is. Twijfelt u? Neem contact met ons op. Liever één telefoontje te veel dan onderweg stil komen te staan.

Hoe lang duurt het om een vergunning voor zwaar transport te regelen?

De verwerkingstijd verschilt sterk per land en per situatie. In sommige landen zoals België of Nederland is het mogelijk om binnen één tot drie werkdagen een vergunning te verkrijgen. In andere landen, zoals Italië of Spanje, kunnen procedures enkele weken duren. Spoedaanvragen zijn soms mogelijk, maar niet overal. EPS start het proces direct na uw aanvraag en geeft u altijd een duidelijke inschatting van de benodigde tijd. Dankzij ons netwerk kunnen we veel aanvragen sneller behandelen dan wanneer u dit zelfstandig zou doen.

Regelt EPS ook begeleiding en piloten?

Ja, indien begeleiding verplicht is op (delen van) uw route, regelt EPS dit voor u. Afhankelijk van het land kunnen dit civiele piloten zijn, politiebegeleiding of zelfs gecertificeerde verkeersbegeleiders. Wij zorgen voor de juiste aanvraag, coördinatie en afstemming met de lokale autoriteiten. U hoeft zich geen zorgen te maken over afwijkende regels of lokale taalverschillen — EPS zorgt ervoor dat de juiste begeleiding op de juiste plek aanwezig is, zodat uw transport veilig en conform de wet verloopt.

Wat houdt routeverkenning bij zwaar transport precies in?

Een routeverkenning is een vooronderzoek waarin we kijken of uw transport de geplande route kan afleggen zonder obstakels. Denk aan viaducthoogtes, bochtstralen, brugbelastingen of tijdelijke wegwerkzaamheden. We brengen knelpunten in kaart en stellen indien nodig een alternatieve route voor. Soms zijn aanpassingen nodig, zoals het verwijderen van straatmeubilair of het aanvragen van een parkeerverbod. Pas na een succesvolle verkenning kunnen we vergunningen aanvragen. EPS voert deze routeverkenningen uit in samenwerking met lokale specialisten, zodat u altijd een haalbaar en veilig traject rijdt.

Kan EPS ook tijdelijk verkeer regelen zoals parkeerverboden of rijplaten?

Zeker. In veel gevallen zijn aanvullende maatregelen nodig om zwaar transport veilig te laten verlopen. Denk aan het tijdelijk afsluiten van een straat, het plaatsen van rijplaten bij zachte bermen, of het verwijderen van een hek of lantaarnpaal. EPS regelt dit voor u in overleg met de lokale overheden. Ook zorgen we voor de bijbehorende vergunningen en, indien nodig, de inzet van een verkeersregelaar. U hoeft zelf niets te coördineren — wij regelen alles van aanvraag tot uitvoering.

Helpt EPS ook met transportmiddelen en kraanwerk als ik dat zelf niet heb?

Ja. Als u zelf geen zwaar transportmaterieel of hijsmateriaal heeft, schakelen wij betrouwbare partners in uit ons Europese netwerk. Of het nu gaat om een dieplader, semidieplader, telescopische kraan of speciaal transportvoertuig — wij vinden de juiste oplossing voor uw lading. Daarbij letten we niet alleen op beschikbaarheid en prijs, maar ook op betrouwbaarheid, veiligheid en ervaring. Zo weet u zeker dat uw transport professioneel wordt uitgevoerd, zonder verrassingen onderweg of op de losplaats.

Hoe werkt een aanvraag bij EPS?

Een aanvraag start met een korte intake: telefonisch, per mail of via een formulier. We vragen u naar de lading, afmetingen, route, geplande data en eventueel aanvullende wensen zoals begeleiding of kraanwerk. Op basis daarvan stellen we een offerte op. Na akkoord starten we direct met de aanvraag van de vergunning(en) en eventuele voorbereidingen. We houden u op de hoogte van de voortgang en zijn tijdens het hele traject bereikbaar. U heeft één aanspreekpunt en hoeft verder niets zelf te regelen.
