cargo transfer & logistics
Whether bulk cargo, break bulk, heavy-lift or liquid cargo, containers, semi-trailers or swap bodies - the effective transfer of goods from one mode of transport to another places high demands on technology and organisational talent. For each shipment we ensure precision, efficiency, safety and punctuality.
We use state-of-the-art technology, such as high-performance cranes and innovative handling equipment, and provide special handling facilities at our locations for oversized and heavy-lift goods. A wide range of silos, oil tanks, refrigerated stores and modern warehouses are available at our sites to tailor to the storage requirements for all manner of goods.
In Aschaffenburg, we move goods of all kinds: In our handling facilities, we transfer mostly raw materials and bulk goods such as mineral oils, construction materials, cellulose, coal, steel and chemical intermediates. In dispatch, we concentrate on high-value industrial products, consumer/industrial timber, and recycling materials such as steel/scrap metals, paper and plastic. As a high-performance logistics company, this enables us to offer industrial and trading companies in the Bavarian Lower Main region access to global transport chains.
State-of-the-art technology is at your disposal for your cargo transfer operations. Our handling facilities ensure efficient, on-time handling of bulk goods, containers, groupage freight and heavy-lift goods. Pumping facilities and storage tanks ensure the supply of mineral oil and other liquid goods to the region. If you need to transfer exceptionally heavy and bulky goods, we handle this assignment at our dedicated cargo-transfer facilities.
Whether transport, storage, picking, processing, procuring, recycling or distributing, we work closely with the companies operating from our port to meet the demands you expect from high-performance logistics.

Heavy-lift handling
bayernhafen Nürnberg provides excellent conditions for handling goods and cargo weighing up to 1,250 tonnes. Established in 1972, the roll-on/roll-off facilities were the first of their kind at a European inland port. They enable bulky, extra-long and exceptionally heavy cargo to be loaded onto barge. The range of heavy-lift and bulk cargo includes nuclear reactor components, tanks, crane components, melting furnaces, chemical industry equipment, heavy machinery, floating dredges and yachts as well as a broad range of large-scale transformers. At the beginning of 2012, a hydraulic strand jack system for loads of up to 600 tonnes was added to the facilities. The continual availability of these crane facilities results in savings not only in terms of time, but also in terms of costs.
Equipment or structural components, whose clearance profiles in their finished state would exceed those of rail or road systems, can be assembled on a reinforced and floodlit area immediately prior to loading. This saves expensive assembly in the destination country and avoids the strain that oversized cargo transport places on road networks. For the large-scale transformer and heavy machinery construction companies based in the Nuremberg metropolitan region, this is one of the decisive factors for their commitment to the region..
The company responsible for operating and marketing the heavy-lift transfer sites is Züst & Bachmeier Project GmbH.
