From dinosaur bones to submarines – we move the extraordinary
Introduction
Some shipments don’t fit in a box. Or a standard trailer. Or within regular office hours.
Whether it’s fragile museum pieces, oversized props, or a 20-meter industrial object — 8 Event Freight is specialised in special transport: precise, customised, and secure.
With our expertise in complex logistics, we ensure your exceptional cargo arrives safely, on time, and without surprises.
1. Pre-Transport – Detailed Preparation Is Everything
For non-standard transport, solid preparation isn’t a luxury — it’s a must. We begin with:
- Assessment of dimensions, weight, and fragility
- Site inspection, access routes, and lifting equipment
- Permits and exemptions (for width, length, or weight)
- Route planning including bridge loads, height limits, etc.
Followed by:
- Coordination with road authorities, police, and escort teams
- Security, temperature or vibration control if needed
2. Transport Phase – No Room for Error
Depending on the cargo, we deploy the right resources:
- Convoi exceptionnel with certified escort
- Low-loaders, cranes, air suspension trailers, blocks and fixings
- Climate control or shock-absorption for delicate objects
- Tracking & tracing with live updates
Our teams include specialists in the transport of valuable, unique or oversized objects — from art and heritage to high-tech installations.
3. On Site – Millimetre Precision, Maximum Care
On location, we take over full coordination:
- Unloading with cranes or lifting tools
- Positioning, installation or temporary placement
- Coordination with builders, curators or technicians
- Discreet or secured presence if required
We also handle temporary storage, interim moves or return shipments internationally.
4. What You Get in Return
- Total peace of mind – from permit to final placement
- One contact for a complex process
- Experience with unique objects, demanding clients and unusual conditions
- Safety, discretion and precision – always
