Safety of Goods in International Road Transport

At MAKO TSL, we know that time and safety are two key components for effective freight transport. That is why we employ the latest cargo securing techniques and have a broad, flexible fleet ready to handle even the most complex transport projects.

As a result, we can guarantee our clients peace of mind and the certainty that their goods will reach their destination in perfect condition. A remarkable 97.5% of our hundreds of thousands of shipments each year arrive safely and on time.

Safe loading of goods using specialized securing methods is an additional service that our regular Clients, particularly from the automotive, furniture, medical, and industrial sectors, take advantage of. It’s also important to note that dangerous goods (ADR) require special attention during transportation.

Automotive Industry – Precision and Protection

Transporting automotive parts and finished components requires high precision and exceptional care. At MAKO TSL, we focus on the highest quality of securing measures to ensure the protection of delicate and valuable shipments.

Anti-slip protection: Our vehicles are equipped with anti-slip mats, locking bars, and securing straps that keep automotive parts in place, preventing them from shifting during transit.

Express delivery: The safest goods are those delivered in pristine condition exactly when the Client needs them. We offer express transport services, including on Saturdays and Sundays, and are flexible regarding delivery times.

Furniture Industry – Delicacy and Stability

Transporting finished and flat-pack furniture requires special care to prevent damage and scratches. At MAKO TSL, we employ advanced securing techniques to ensure that furniture arrives in perfect condition.

Protective packaging: We check the compliance and solidity of client-packaged goods, providing an additional quality control function. Additionally, we use protective blankets, bubble wrap, and sturdy cartons to ensure maximum protection.

Transport straps: To ensure the stability of larger furniture, we use transport straps that keep the load in place. Anti-slip mats are also an additional security measure.

Medical Industry – Safety and Precision

Transporting medical products requires the highest level of safety and precision. At MAKO TSL, we understand the importance of quickly and safely delivering medicines and other medical goods on time.

Strict delivery times: A key safety factor in the transport of medical products is time. Thanks to our extensive fleet and digital planning and monitoring systems, we can guarantee express deliveries of goods to their destination.

Monitoring the transport process: We know the status of each road transport at all times thanks to constant contact with the driver and digital monitoring systems, including our proprietary driver location system. This enables us to react swiftly even in emergency situations. Our drivers use pre-selected parking areas that ensure high security for the goods.

Industrial Sector – Strength and Protection

Transporting industrial goods, such as machinery and raw materials, requires solid and reliable securing measures. At MAKO TSL, we use proven methods to ensure the safe transport of even the heaviest loads.

Securing systems: Heavy machinery is securely fastened to the transport surface using specialized securing systems, such as anti-slip mats and transport straps, which prevent them from moving.

Tarp integrity control and vehicle sealing: Every time a vehicle exits a route, our drivers check the integrity of the tarp, ensuring the safety of goods from external conditions. Additionally, during transport, we can use seals that guarantee the goods remain in an untouched state after loading. This is important because most load damage occurs during handling rather than during transport itself.

Securing ADR Goods – Safety and Compliance

Transporting dangerous goods (ADR) is a particularly demanding task that involves adhering to strict regulations and safety standards. At MAKO TSL, we ensure that each ADR shipment is carried out with the utmost attention to safety and compliance with international regulations.

Documentation: Each ADR goods transport is accompanied by full documentation and emergency instructions.

Driver Training: Our drivers undergo ADR training programs, preparing them for the safe transport of dangerous goods. These training sessions cover both theoretical and practical aspects of ADR transport. They monitor the goods during loading, allowing us to detect potential deviations from the norm and protect our clients from mistakes. Additionally, our drivers undergo regular training to ensure their knowledge is up-to-date, including on securing goods.

Specialized Vehicles: For ADR transport, we use vehicles that meet all technical requirements specified in regulations. Our fleet is equipped with certified fire extinguishers and additional protective measures to minimize the risk of accidents. All ADR equipment used in our vehicles complies with the international ADR agreement.

Route Planning and Monitoring: Transporting dangerous goods requires careful route planning to avoid high-risk areas, such as densely populated regions and roads with heavy traffic. We use advanced GPS monitoring systems that allow real-time tracking of vehicles, enabling quick responses in case of any issues.
