Construction site logistics is the transport of building materials to and from the site, on a fixed time slot. PLS moves hollow-core slabs, steel, palletised goods and long elements across the Benelux and Western Europe. We plan every trip, report at the agreed time and track your deliveries, also outside office hours.
What is construction site logistics?
Construction site logistics is about planning and running transport to building sites. It is not about one trip, but about a series of deliveries that have to line up. A site works to a tight schedule. Every delivery gets a check-in time for loading and unloading.
That makes construction transport different from a single load from A to B. We handle ten to twenty of these transports a month. For producers of concrete elements and building material suppliers who need their goods on site on time, we plan that flow from start to finish.
Whether you call it construction transport, building material transport or moving hollow-core slabs, the logic stays the same: the right goods, at the right time, on the right site.
What equipment do we use for construction transport?
The equipment depends on what has to go on the trailer. We pick the trailer to suit the load, not the other way round.
- Flatbed trailers and low platforms for hollow-core slabs, steel and other long or heavy elements. Loading is done from the top or the side, by crane or forklift.
- Curtainsiders for palletised goods such as bricks, roof tiles and packed building materials. The curtains slide open, so side unloading is quick.
- Telescopic trailers for very long items that do not fit on a standard trailer. The trailer extends to the length the element requires.
This lets us move a load of concrete slabs just as easily as a run of pallets, always with the trailer that fits the goods. For exceptionally long or heavy elements, we link up with abnormal load transport.
Why choose a carrier that knows the goods?
Concrete elements and steel call for proper load securing. A slab that is fixed the wrong way gets damaged in transit or arrives on site with damage. We know how these goods belong on the trailer and which equipment fits.
We work with corner protectors, anti-slip material and lashing straps matched to the weight and shape of the load. That is not a detail. It decides whether the goods arrive intact and on time.
With twenty years of experience in construction transport, we know this work from the inside. Our drivers are hands-on: not a pass-through service, but people who know what happens on a site and how the goods should be handled.
How do we keep track of your weekly deliveries?
With ten to twenty transports a month, each with its own check-in time, keeping track is the real challenge. That is where our strength lies. You have one fixed point of contact who oversees the whole schedule, instead of a changing dispatch that has to learn the file again each time.
We call the loading and unloading points, coordinate the time slots and follow every move. If a time shifts, we act on it. You are not caught out, because you hear it from us before it becomes a problem.
Does a delivery fall outside office hours? We stay reachable. Through our work phone you reach us 24/7, in the evening and at the weekend too.
