Types of road freight transport

Within road freight transport, a number of variables come into play depending on the kind of cargo to be transported. Different types of goods require different kinds of care for their handling, loading and unloading, and stowage in the truck. Thanks to our expert knowledge of the special care required by each type of freight, at Rocket Logistics we specialise in all kinds of cargoes.

Road transport of bulk cargo

Bulk cargo is freight transported in large quantities without packing or packaging, where the means of transport itself acts as the container. Both solid and liquid bulk freight require especially careful stowage to reduce cargo loss.

At Rocket Logistics we know how to deal with the road transport of bulk cargo, as well as the machinery and instruments required for its handling, particularly when the freight in question is dangerous, such as fuel or chemicals.

Heavy goods transport

If you have a heavy load to ship, it may require equipment such as cranes or hoisting platforms for its transportation.Rocket Logistics is experienced in handling the road transport of heavy goods including machinery, industrial and construction materials.

We can provide specially approved vehicles for this kind of freight, as well as skilled workers to carry out the operation, guaranteeing that your heavy load will arrive safely at its destination within the agreed deadline.

Dry goods road transport

When we refer to dry or general road freight, we mean goods that need no special transport equipment or conditions. This encompasses most of the goods transported by road.

This kind of cargo is transported in packages or on pallets. We can subdivide the dry load into fractions, referring to loose goods when they have their own packaging, such as parcels, sacks or boxes; and to units, when it is made up of articles grouped together on pallets or in containers.

Road transport of dangerous goods

The road transport of dangerous goods, also known as ADR transport (Agreement on Dangerous Goods) requires particularly sensitive handling and is subject to a series of legal requirements and specifications.  

Accidents related to the transport and handling of dangerous goods can entail serious consequences for people and the environment. That’s why transport of this kind mustn’t be left to just anybody, but should be done by a company capable of controlling the goods at all of the stages of the transport chain.

Rocket Logistics offers the road transport of dangerous goods to satisfy your ADR shipment needs with complete reliability and in compliance with all standards demanded by the law. Here we refer to specifications on packaging, labelling and the marking of units transported as well as safety when loading and stowing the cargo in said units.

We work with qualified personnel, approved vehicles and experience which enables us to optimise the supply chain so that your goods will arrive intact after an incident-free journey.
