Hazardous goods transportation – A.D.R.

Our company specialises in the transportation of hazardous goods at European level and any material or waste containing elements or substances that are harmful to the environment or to the health of persons.

Our hazardous goods transportation service guarantees safe handling of any type of hazardous material in compliance with EU legislation on transportation by land (A.D.R. – “Accord Dangereuses Route”).

The aim of the A.D.R. is to prevent and eliminate any risks that may involve the safety of persons, damage to goods or environmental pollution.

The rigour and precision we employ on these types of shipment is unparalleled and involves various checking operations, tracking and the application of certain regulations regarding the loading, transportation and unloading of these types of materials in order to eliminate any risks involved.

Hazardous goods

Certain criteria determine the hazard level of goods and, depending on the hazard level, the goods are assigned a class and a specific packaging group (ranging from level I, highly hazardous, to level III, moderately hazardous).

We are authorised to transport any A.D.R. hazardous goods class:

Skilled management with experience in the field

All personnel involved in the provision of the service are qualified and continuously updated on the management of hazardous goods or wastes at EU level, both in legislative terms and according to the regulations governing the activity.

All our drivers of vehicles involved in this type of goods handling possess special permission and specific training to avoid any incident and resolve any unforeseen events.

Utmost safety

We have developed exclusive working processes for the transportation of hazardous goods and loads throughout Europe in which the sequence of checks required has been analysed in detail to ensure the utmost safety.

A.D.R. transportation vehicles

We have a fleet of vehicles equipped according to legislative requirements in order to operate in this field. Indeed, the transportation of A.D.R. goods is a very delicate operation that, in addition to requiring ad hoc expertise on the part of all the personnel involved in the process, also requires the vehicles used to have specific characteristics, as is the case for vehicles designed to transport explosive or flammable materials.

To carry out this kind of transportation, the vehicles are fitted with special equipment and our travelling personnel have a special licence that has to be renewed every 5 years.
