Smart logistics, trusted for generations
Our Services
At Transport Company G. v.d. Heijden & Zn., we have been ensuring that goods reach their destination safely, efficiently and on time for nearly a century. Whether it concerns containers, steel or fixed shuttle services to Germany, our customers can rely on reliability and craftsmanship.
Specialist in container haulage
Container transport
Our container haulage operations run daily from the ports of Rotterdam and Antwerp to domestic and international destinations. We handle all standard ISO container sizes, including 20 ft, 40 ft and 45 ft units, as well as specialised equipment such as reefer containers for temperature-controlled cargo.
Our fleet operates modern skeletal chassis equipped with clip-on gensets, ensuring continuous temperature control throughout the entire transport chain. This makes us a reliable logistics partner for clients handling sensitive or temperature-critical goods.
In addition, we are experienced in ADR-certified transport of dangerous goods, including batteries and various industrial gases, carried out in full compliance with applicable safety regulations.
At Transport Company G. v.d. Heijden & Zn., one principle still applies: “The customer asks — and we deliver.”
Investing in tomorrow
Looking ahead
In addition to our daily operations, we actively invest in future-oriented logistics solutions. We firmly believe in innovative concepts such as BoxReload, a collaborative initiative aimed at optimising container flows and improving efficiency within the transport chain.
Precision in heavy transport
Steel transport
For ODS, we carry out daily transport of steel plates, pipes, profiles and bars throughout the Netherlands. Two of our trucks are specifically equipped with truck-mounted cranes, enabling efficient and precise loading and unloading operations.
Thanks to this specialised equipment and expertise, we are a reliable link within the steel transport supply chain.
Strong in cross-border transport
Ruhr Area shuttle service
Our shuttle service to the Ruhr Area is operated on behalf of Neelevat. While planning and routing are managed by the client, we are responsible for the operational execution, applying the same high standards of safety and reliability our customers expect from us.
With many years of experience in cross-border transport to Germany, we are a trusted partner for this dedicated route.
Modern and sustainable on the road
Modern trucks & trailers
We continuously invest in a modern and sustainable fleet, with a strong focus on maintenance and operational reliability. Our in-house workshop and maintenance team ensure that all trucks and trailers are serviced, inspected and maintained to the highest standards.
This guarantees maximum uptime and allows us to operate safely, reliably and efficiently — day in, day out.
