Transport of works of art internationally and throughout France
Expertise and means for national and international transport
We take the greatest care in choosing our staff and provide you with qualified, skilled and reliable technicians who respect safety and discretion. Our technicians have gained expertise and reliability from their extensive experience. Individually, or more often as a team, they listen closely to their interlocutors.
Transexpo's respectful, cordial and discreet technicians remain focused on the safety of people and property, first and foremost the works. In-depth knowledge of their profession gives them autonomy and productivity that are highly valued by our clients.
On the ground, our teams are dressed in Transexpo colours.
All operations are carried out by at least two people, including at least one team leader.
Our vehicles
Our vans are specially designed for transporting works of art. These unmarked vehicles have the latest equipment and fittings: pneumatic suspension, liftgate, controlled temperature, isothermal boxes, alarms, fire extinguishers, security escort seat, padding, geolocation, etc. Our vans have a capacity of 20 and 40 cubic metres and are equipped with liftgates.
Our trucks are always manned by two drivers, including one constantly in the vehicle. They have three front seats, including one for any possible security escort. They are EURO 6 compliant.
We have an electric car (ZOE type) for transporting security escorts. We favour vehicles with an electric motor for transporting all small-scale works. This will be done with our electric Kangoo.
We also have crane arm trucks with a lifting capacity of up to 80 T/m, equipped with jibs, allowing monumental works to be handled and craned or certain works to pass through windows where no other access solutions are possible. These crane arms are also equipped with winches that can pass works through hatches, when necessary.
Our semi-trailers include air-conditioned low-loaders, tarpaulin low-loaders, tank carriers, flatbeds and very high semi-trailers. Some of these vehicles are approved for exceptional category 2 courier services on a year-round basis.
Our drivers are trained in eco-driving and we monitor monthly vehicle fuel consumption in order to control and improve diesel consumption. Our trucks use AdBlue.
As part of our ecological improvement process, we are gradually changing our fleet of trucks and Transexpo now uses natural gas vehicles.
