The long haul across Europe is the predictable part. What goes wrong, goes wrong in the final approach — a gate that is too narrow, a turning circle that is not there, a crane that cannot be set up where it needs to stand.
Customs: the union, and the one exception
Türkiye and the EU are linked by a customs union. For industrial goods accompanied by an A.TR movement certificate, duties generally do not apply on entry to Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark or Luxembourg — import VAT and handling charges do. Switzerland is the exception: it is not part of the customs union, so import means clearance, import tax and handling. Your customs agent confirms the items for your shipment before it moves.
The route and the real lead time
The unit travels whole, on a low-loader, overland. Driving time is measured in days; the lead time that matters is set by production scheduling, documentation, and the unloading window at the destination. Denmark is the longest of the five destinations, which is why the Scandinavia tariff sits above the others and why dates there need to be fixed earlier.
The last hundred metres
Send photographs before you send a deposit. We need the width of the entrance, the turning radius, the surface, the gradient, overhead obstructions such as cables and branches, and where a crane or heavy-duty forklift could stand. Narrow and steep access is nearly always solvable — but only if it is known in time to plan for it. Discovering it on delivery day is what turns a fixed cost into an open one.
What happens on arrival
The unit is set down on a prepared foundation, levelled and secured. Connections to power, water and wastewater are made by local trades — we do not carry out the connection work in the destination country, and the electrical installation is signed off by a locally licensed professional under local rules. Handover documentation, technical data and maintenance notes are agreed in advance rather than handed over at the gate.
