Not all cargo fits neatly inside a box. That’s where Samskip’s Flatrack Service steps in offering a smart, flexible, and reliable solution for transporting oversized, heavy, or irregularly shaped goods across Europe.

Whether it’s bundled bricks, timber, steel pipes, or out-of-gauge machinery, our flatracks are purpose-built for what traditional containers can’t carry. Think forklift-side-loading, top-loading, and even direct-to-deck handling, each shipment carefully secured and managed by our highly trained flat cargo specialists.

“With our own specially built flats, the largest multimodal network in Europe, and a dedicated team with over 38 years of experience, we offer reliable and flexible transport solutions, door to door,” says Jeroen Bredius, Product Manager Flats and Reefers.

From the first mile to the last, we treat flat cargo with the care it deserves:

• Expert planning and loading: Carried out by specially trained drivers and handlers using tailored equipment.
• Specialized gear: Including A-frame containers and spreaders for crane lifting and oversized cargo handling.
• Multimodal efficiency: Combining truck and shortsea vessel routes for cost-effective and timely transport.
• On-site delivery options: We can bring flat cargo directly to construction sites or industrial facilities when needed.

And because reliability matters, we’ve built a service around it minimizing risk and maximizing trust, every step of the way.
