How much does it cost to transport steel structures from Germany?
Trošak transporta čeličnih konstrukcija iz Njemačke zavisi od vrste i dimenzija elemenata, ukupne mase, tačne lokacije preuzimanja, odabrane relacije, potrebnih dozvola i odgovarajuće transportne opreme. Vangabaritni elementi i konstrukcije veće dužine mogu zahtijevati specijalne prikolice, posebne dozvole i dodatno planiranje rute. Kod transporta kompletne čelične hale organizacija zavisi od ukupne količine materijala i broja potrebnih transportnih jedinica.

How long can the element fit on a standard trailer?
A standard semi-trailer (curtainsider or flatbed) can carry loads up to 13.6 m long within the permitted overall vehicle length of 16.5 m (in the EU according to Directive 96/53/EC). For elements 13.6–20 m we use an extendable trailer. For elements 20–50+ m we use a special long-haul trailer (swan neck + dolly or jeep dolly configuration) or a modular platform.
When does a steel structure become an oversized load?
In the EU, cargo that together with the vehicle exceeds the following values becomes oversized and requires special permits for extraordinary transport: width 2.55 m, height 4.0 m (in some countries 4.2–4.3 m), vehicle length 16.5 m (20 m for tractor + semi-trailer). For steel elements that exceed these limits, we obtain permits for each transit country — the deadline is 2–10 working days depending on the country.
How to transport a complete prefabricated steel hall?
The steel hall is transported in a dismantled state — columns, roof supports (rafters), secondary structure and cladding separately, organized by groups according to the order of assembly. Transporting a typical 30×50 m hall requires 2–5 vehicles depending on the span, height and total mass of the structure. We coordinate the order of delivery according to the assembly plan.
Can steel structures be stacked and transported together?
Yes — standard beams, profiles (HEA, HEB, IPE, UPE) and pipe profiles can be bundled and transported in larger quantities on one trailer, as long as the total weight does not exceed the load capacity (standard 24 tons for a semi-trailer within the EU) and the height of the combined load does not exceed 4.0 m. Lattice constructions and spatial frames cannot be stacked as a rule and are transported individually.
How is anti-corrosion protection ensured during transport?
Steel constructions with an anti-corrosive coating (primer paint, epoxy, polyurethane or powder varnish) are secured exclusively with textile (polyester) binding tapes with rubber or wooden bases at the points of contact of the tape with the metal. We never use metal chains or links directly on the painted surface. This practice is a standard requirement of most construction companies.
How long does it take to transport steel structures from Germany?
Standard elements within the allowed dimensions: 2–3 working days to Bosnia, Croatia or Serbia. Oversized elements requiring special permits: 5–10 days total (2–7 days to obtain permits + 2–3 days transport). We recommend confirming the order as early as possible so that we can obtain permits on time.
Is the steel structure insured during transport?
Yes — every transport is covered by the CMR consignment note (Convention des Marchandises par Route), which regulates the liability of carriers in international road transport. For more expensive elements and complete structures, we organize additional cargo insurance according to the declared value.
What documentation is required for the transport of steel structures?
For standard transport: consignment note or CMR waybill and invoice or declaration of value. For items that exceed standard dimensions: special permits for extraordinary transport for each transit country. For customs clearance (outside the EU): customs declaration, invoice and packing list. We organize all permits for transit countries as part of the service.
Do you organize delivery according to the order of assembly?
Yes — this is one of the key services for steel structures. We coordinate the sequence of loading and delivery with the assembly team at the construction site. The columns come first, the roof supports after them, the secondary structure at the end — according to the actual assembly plan. Construction sites that do not have space to store their materials suddenly especially appreciate this approach.
