Vehicles

A wide range of vehicles are used across industry for both internal and external transportation, available as standard models and purpose-built special vehicles. Standard vehicles such as cars, lorries and vans are primarily designed for external use, capable of covering long distances and typically powered by petrol or diesel engines. Special vehicles, on the other hand, are deployed for internal transportation according to their specific function – and alongside diesel-powered options, many of these run on electric power, drawing energy from dedicated batteries recharged at on-site charging stations.

The key advantage of electrically powered vehicles is that they produce zero emissions, making them suitable for unrestricted use around workstations and in warehouses. For heavy external loading operations, heavy-duty forklifts and industrial transport vehicles are the go-to solution. Trailers, available in a wide variety of configurations, add further flexibility to transportation workflows – with heavy-duty trailers being particularly common in industrial settings.

In the commercial vehicle sector, buyers will find a broad selection of specialist options, including vehicles fitted with tipping troughs, loading cranes, hydraulic attachments and other purpose-specific features. A truck-mounted crane, for example, is an ideal solution for moving and positioning heavy loads on construction sites – easy to set up and a significant time-saver across many assembly processes.

Choosing the right vehicle for the job is essential for efficient logistics, whether moving goods across a warehouse floor or delivering products to customers. For internal transportation, electric vehicles with pallet trailers are the most widely used solution, offering quick and flexible movement of goods throughout a facility. During production downtime, these vehicles are parked at dedicated charging stations, ensuring they are fully charged and ready for the next working day.

Heavy-duty transport vehicles are required for handling steel components and chemical industry machinery, where payload capacity and stability are critical. On construction sites, the truck-mounted crane is the most common choice. Available in a wide range of sizes and load capacities, these mobile cranes are versatile enough to handle large-scale tasks – including the full assembly of an industrial hall. Many models also support remote control operation, allowing operators to position themselves directly at the point of work for greater precision and safety.

For external transportation, vans are the vehicle of choice for regional deliveries. Compact, fast, and fuel-efficient, they are well suited to last-mile logistics where speed and economy matter most.

The vehicles sector is home to a wide range of established manufacturers, each with a strong reputation for quality and reliability. Among the most recognised names are JCB, Caterpillar, Wirtgen, Astra Veicoli, Fiat, Ford, Kaminski, Kampa, Liebherr, Mercedes-Benz, Tetra Pak, TMG, MAFI, Volkswagen, Renault, MAN and Volvo.

These manufacturers cover a broad spectrum of vehicle types – from heavy-duty construction and transport machinery to commercial and industrial vehicles – making it straightforward to find the right equipment for a wide variety of applications.
