Machine transport - precise handling & insertion
Moving heavy systems, loading them professionally or realizing a complex insertion – the machine transportation by ZBV Fels specializes in the precise handling of demanding loads. Whether it’s a new machine or a new one Internal transportation within your production halls: We supply the technical solution for movements in confined spaces.
Thanks to detachable special trailers as well as compact forklifts and mobile cranes, we can also handle tight spaces, low passages and operations in production halls.
With state-of-the-art technology – such as compact forklifts, mobile cranes and special trailers that can be lowered – we can handle any machine transport, even with low clearance. If you also require mechanical disassembly or reassembly for your project, you will find all the details in our Machine assembly department.
Our success factors
Individual machine transportation
Project management on site
Every machine transport is individual – and always challenging. We therefore inspect both locations and all transport routes and plan the procedure in detail, including routes, travel times and necessary permits.
Interface management
We take responsibility for the technical handling, while we integrate our specialized industrial mechanics precisely into the process for any necessary machine assembly.
Machine transportation with equipment
Whether production line, solo machines or medical equipment – machines are central to efficiency and quality in many industries. We ensure that exactly the right lifting gear and special vehicle is available for every machine transport – whether a new machine or an existing system.
Special technical handling instead of standard logistics
Professional machine transportation is always individual and requires precise planning of transport routes and load distribution. We inspect the conditions on site to ensure that sensitive machine parts are moved with the necessary security and the right equipment.
While a complete machine relocation includes the entire project management including disassembly and assembly, our team concentrates on the machine transportation on the pure, safe movement of the load. Thanks to this specialization, we guarantee that your valuable equipment arrives at its destination undamaged.
The three phases of machine transportation
1. preparation & loading
Before the actual machine transport can begin, the system must be ready for transportation. We take care of the professional loading and securing of the components on our special vehicles.
2. the implementation of the shipment
In this phase, the precision of the handling counts, regardless of whether it is an in-house transfer or road transportation. We use compact forklifts and mobile cranes to move machines safely even in confined production halls. We carry out relocations within your warehouse or production facility without the need for a complete change of location.
3. insertion & positioning
After transportation, our specialists assemble the machine at the new location precisely and in accordance with the documentation. We position the machine precisely at its new destination, ready for the final installation. As soon as the machine transport has been completed and the machine has been positioned, our industrial mechanics can take over the professional reassembly and testing of the connections on request.

FAQs
What exactly does machine transportation involve for us?
We are your specialized freight forwarder for machine transports within the company. This means that we not only move your equipment from A to B on the road, but also take care of the centimeter work within your production areas. Whether it’s bringing in a new machine or moving it within your production halls – we navigate even the narrowest aisles and place the machine precisely at the installation site.
Which machines does ZBV Fels transport?
We transport machines and systems of all kinds – from individual devices to complete production lines, regardless of industry, size or weight.
Does ZBV also carry out internal shipments during ongoing operations?
Yes, that is one of our core competencies. An in-house relocation often has to be planned in such a way that other production lines do not come to a standstill. We coordinate the process closely with your production management to keep downtimes to a minimum – regardless of whether a single machine is being relocated or entire production lines are being moved.
In addition to external machine transportation, ZBV Fels also handles internal machine relocations. Transport routes, floor loads, safety areas and production processes are checked in advance in order to keep downtimes to a minimum.
Does a machine have to be dismantled for transportation?
Whether a machine has to be partially or completely dismantled depends on its size, weight and the structural conditions at the source and destination locations. Systems can often be completely relocated. In many cases, however, partial dismantling makes sense in order to facilitate transport routes or reduce risks.
At ZBV Fels, we check which solution makes technical and economic sense before each project.
Does ZBV Fels also undertake dismantling and assembly?
Yes, we not only take care of the transportation, but also the professional dismantling, packaging, reassembly and commissioning of your machines.
How do I prepare my new machine for transportation to the hall?
It is important that the transport routes are clear and that the floor load-bearing capacity has been clarified. As experts in machine transportation, we check the conditions on site in advance. We clarify questions such as: Do the dimensions fit through the gates? Does the machine have to be partially dismantled for transportation? We accompany you from the delivery of the new machine to the final installation and alignment.
How is it ensured that no damage occurs during transportation?
Our experienced teams rely on precise planning, state-of-the-art equipment such as special forklifts and cranes as well as secure packaging – to ensure that your machines arrive at their destination undamaged.
Does ZBV Fels also carry out international machine transports?
Yes, we offer national and international machine transportation – by truck, sea freight or air freight, depending on requirements and location.
How quickly can a machine transport be carried out?
Thanks to our internal resources and structured processes, we can also reliably realize machine transports at short notice and within tight time frames.
