How do you handle specialty logistics & heavy haulage from Basel?
Moving industrial equipment within and from Basel requires specialized transport capabilities. Our logistics services include heavy haulage for oversized loads, multi-modal transport coordination (road, rail, sea, and air), customs documentation and handling, and buffer warehousing. We plan every transport from route surveys and permit applications through to final delivery and unloading, ensuring safe, on-time arrival regardless of destination.
Do you offer warehousing & staging in Basel?
Complex industrial projects in Basel often require temporary storage between phases. Klose Industrial Service provides secure warehousing and staging facilities for equipment awaiting installation, components in transit, or assets recovered from decommissioning projects. Our warehouse management includes inventory tracking, condition monitoring, and coordination with project timelines to ensure materials are available exactly when needed.
Can you manage international shipping from Basel?
Basel's position in Switzerland provides excellent access to European and global shipping routes. We manage door-to-door international shipments of industrial equipment, coordinating packing at origin, transport to port or airport, customs clearance in both origin and destination countries, and final delivery and unpacking. Our experience spans shipments across Europe, Asia Pacific, North America, and beyond — handling hundreds of container loads per project when required.
Specialist export packing vs. standard freight packing for Basel
| Klose specialist packing | Standard freight packing | |
|---|---|---|
| Standards | ISPM-15 and IATA compliant, fully documented | Generic packing, compliance gaps at customs |
| Protection | VCI and vibration-damped to the equipment | One-size packing regardless of sensitivity |
| Customs | Marked and documented to clear customs cleanly | Hold-ups when marks or papers are missing |
| Transport | Full multi-modal chain planned under one contract | Packing and haulage handled separately |
| Risk in transit | Engineered to arrive damage-free | Higher risk of corrosion and transit damage |
Packaging is insurance you only notice when it fails — we build the crate for the machine, not for the average box.
