Handling hall for heavy goods

To the destination – safe and intact

Our handling hall for heavy goods, more commonly known as the heavy hall, is located in Vuosaari, Helsinki, next to the port area. Thanks to its excellent location, we are able to transport large and heavy loads directly from the warehouse to the port without transporting them by road.

Unique equipment

Nothing is small in our heavy hall. With the lifting capacity of a 120-tonne overhead crane, we could lift two locomotives up into the air at once. Our lifting truck equipment is also full of power with its 42-tonne lifting capacity.

Reliably with the professional skills of the personnel

We use certified lashing and support materials for all loads. We will take care of special lashing of loads, packaging and all other services you may need with the top expertise of our personnel.

We solve the challenges

Our uncompromising quality of service and operations, as well as our customised containerisation solutions ensure that your valuable cargo will always get to the destination safely and intact.
