Specifically, LKW WALTER provides you with sufficient loading capacity at the right time and place. Our employees plan the fastest routes for you and ensure an optimal transport process.

Today, we organise more than 300 departures a day on more than 200 short-sea and rail routes. At the same time, we are expanding our European-wide Combined Transport network. On one hand, to adapt the capacities to the increasing demand. On the other hand, to meet our high ecological standards.

Your advantages in Combined Transport:

• Payload up to 29 tonnes
• Telematics systems in all trailers
• No traffic jams and driving bans
• Easy and safe loading

Combined Transport

Only drivers who fulfil the SQAS requirements work for LKW WALTER. For transports for the chemical industry, only professionals who are trained to BBS guidelines are at the wheel.

The use of trained and reliable drivers increases the transport quality and the transport safety. Which is why in the chemical industry we only work with selected drivers, who have been trained according to BBS guidelines.

By observing, actively training and communicating with drivers, LKW WALTER constantly improves safety in road transport. During information and training days, we regularly brief drivers on load securing and correct behaviour in road transport.

For LKW WALTER ecological responsibility is a commitment to present and future generations. That's why we have defined it as an important corporate goal. We do everything we can to minimise the environmental impact.

Our activities go far beyond complying with environmental laws and regulations. With numerous measures we succeed in continuously contributing to the improvement of environmental protection:

• LKW WALTER has had its environmental management certified to ISO 14001.
• "GREEN transport": In addition to environmentally-friendly equipment, we continuously invest in expanding the Combined Transport network.
• SHEQ Management: The integrated management system summarises the continuous improvement in the areas of safety, heath, environment and quality.
• SQAS: LKW WALTER is evaluated according to the standards of the European Chemical Industry Association.
• LKW WALTER is a member of the "Responsible Care" initiative for sustainable business.

Social responsibility

When transporting, not every danger can be anticipated. But you can minimise the risks with a proactive partner like LKW WALTER. Our trained employees have the right solution for every situation and always have everything under control.

LKW WALTER develops preventive measures to reduce sources of risk and uses the Near Miss approach. In other words: the systematic handling of hidden dangers or risk potential is part of every transport solution from LKW WALTER.

We support you with:

• Risk assessment of the transport process
• Route analysis
• Development of preventative measures

Trailer standards:

• Tautliner certified according to EN 12642 XL
