Special Transports

Special transports in Austria & Europe — exclusive, secure, on time

Whether within Austria or across European borders: MASA handles time-critical special transports flexibly from your chosen pickup point to the destination — direct and without unnecessary transshipment. A special transport is the answer to shipments that no standard process can handle any more. Whether high-value goods, a sensitive prototype or a production-critical spare part — our vehicle travels exclusively for your consignment and takes it to the destination without transshipment.

What defines a special transport?

Special transports are individually planned shipments outside regular scheduled or groupage tours. They are dispatched on demand and assigned exclusively to a single order. Every waiting time in a consolidation hub disappears, and the driver carries responsibility for your goods continuously from pickup to delivery.

This structure makes special transports particularly suitable for shipments where handling, discretion, temperature sensitivity or on-time performance are top priority.

Typical occasions for a special transport

Our customers book special transports whenever standard forwarding processes are too slow, too inflexible or too risky.

  • Artworks and high-value goods
  • Prototypes from R&D
  • Sensitive IT and server hardware
  • Production spare parts under risk of downtime
  • Medical devices and laboratory equipment
  • Confidential documents and data carriers

Security and insurance

We confirm applicable insurance cover and any requested additional cover individually before confirming the order. We arrange suitable vehicles up to 3.5 t; larger trucks can be requested through partners when needed.

For particularly discreet trips we use vehicles without company branding — your shipment stays unobtrusive from pickup to destination.

Process and response time

We plan possible transit time using collection and delivery addresses, vehicle availability, loading times and traffic. Statutory driving and rest periods must be respected. Same-day delivery depends on scheduling and operational feasibility; overnight and next-day deliveries have an individually agreed deadline.

  • Tailored quote after reviewing the request
  • Pickup subject to availability and individual agreement
  • Live GPS tracking – keep an eye on your transport at all times
  • Status updates as agreed
  • Proof of delivery as agreed
