Transport monitoring

Our vehicles are equipped with the latest telematics and are automatically monitored. The systems continuously calculate the expected time of arrival (ETA) in real time, taking into account traffic conditions, as well as the driver's remaining driving time. We therefore know where your freight is at any time, as well as when the truck arrives at the specified loading and unloading points.

CONNECT - an overview of your orders with just one click

On our CONNECT customer platform, you can easily and quickly handle your transport orders. You submit your booking online, receive information about the truck and can directly access freight documents.

Intelligent interfaces

For us, optimising transport processes means adapting to your IT. Through our standardised Application Programming Interface we offer you the possibility to automate your processes and to contribute to an efficient and fast data exchange.

  • What equipment does LKW WALTER use for transportation?

    13.6 m curtain siders (trailer and tautliner) are used as standard. If necessary, and only on certain routes, we can provide other types of trailers (mega trailers, jumbo, semi-trailers, small trucks etc.). In combined transport we also use cranable trailers. Cranable mega trailers (internal height: 3 m) and special trailers with coil troughs are also available.

Glossary

In our glossary you will find all the important terms relating to transport. Get informed now!

A

Anti-slip mats

Load securing equipment which is used as an underlay to increase the level of friction. It is made of anti-slip materials e.g. rubber granulate, fibrous materials or coated cardboard.

AÖSp

AÖSp = Allgemeine Österreichische Spediteursbedingungen (General Austrian Forwarders' Terms and Conditions )

The scope of application of the General Austrian Forwarder's terms and conditions is according to agreement. Amongst other things they govern the legal relationship between the principle and the forwarder as well as the liability of the forwarder.

Aramid fabric

Aramid is a special fabric for roof tarpaulins. Aramid is yellow and fire-resistant.

B

BAG

German Federal Office for Goods Transport

(www.bag.bund.de)

C

CIM

CIM = Règles uniformes concernant le Contrat de transport international ferroviaire des marchandises

The CIM are the uniform rules concerning the Contract of International Carriage of Goods by Rail and can be found in Appendix B of the COTIF.

See also COTIF.

CMR

CMR = Convention relative au contrat de transport internationale de Marchandises par Route

The CMR is the Convention on the Contract for the International Carriage of Goods by Road. The provisions of the CMR are mandatory between all contracting states in cross-border road transport.

Combined Transport

With combined transport, different modes of transport such as trucks, trains and ships are optimally combined to handle transport as environmentally-friendly and cost-efficiently as possible.

  • Rail/Short-Sea for the majority part of the journey (environmentally-friendly transport solution)
  • Trucks for the feeder services (flexible collection and delivery)

Combined Transport

CONNECT

CONNECT is our online portal for customers through which orders can be conveniently processed at the click of a mouse. Other features: current order overview and provision of useful additional information.

Customs seal

When transporting customs goods, a customs seal can be attached by customs authorities to either the trailer itself (= TIR seal) or the individual package (= open TIR seal).

D

daN

daN stands for dekanewton. The Newton [ˈnjuːtn] (unit symbol N) is the unit of measure used in the international unit system (SI) for the physical size of a force. daN is a unit that is used e.g. in load securing to indicate the load carrying capacity or ultimate strength of ropes or straps. It roughly corresponds to the weight that acts on a mass of 1 kg. A rope with an ultimate strength of 1,000 daN can therefore support approx. 1,000 kg.

F

Form-fit

Form-fit is a type of load securing.

With "form-fit" load securing, the goods are loaded perpendicular to the boundary of the loading hold (front wall, side panel, stakes, etc.) without gaps between the loads.
Form-fit loading, in combination with XL trailers, is considered a particularly efficient method of securing loads.

X

XL trailer

In contrast with standard trailers, XL trailers have several characteristics that further support load securing - e.g. reinforced front wall, 4 door locks, reinforced curtain, at least 32 side slats, stronger structure and reinforced side panels.

Our own trailer fleet consists exclusively of XL trailers.

See also EN 12642 XL.
