A trusted partner for the steel industry

Transporting steel demands expertise and the right equipment due to its weight and compact form. At Begoma, we have extensive experience handling steel shipments, using specialized coil trailers to ensure safe and efficient deliveries. With our know-how, Begoma has become a trusted partner for the steel industry, dating back many years.

Steel is a unique commodity in that it is both dense and heavy, presenting specific challenges for transportation. This is why proper load securing is not just important – but essential.

The more compact and heavier the goods that are transported, the more critical it becomes to ensure that the equipment and processes are top-notch. For a product such as steel coils, this is especially true.

At Begoma, we use coil trailers that are specifically designed for the transportation of heavy steel coils. They are similar to curtainsiders, but with unique features that enable them to securely carry large and heavy loads.

– We have a long history of working with steel transport and has developed a deep understanding of the specific requirements that come with it. Whether it’s stainless steel or other forms, we’ve successfully handled large volumes for various customers across the steel industry, says Erik Malmberg, Traffic Director at Begoma.

Begoma ensures that all involved parties are well-informed of the safety procedures before the driver even arrives at the loading site. This is possible thanks to our system that integrates and transmits safety information from the shipping location to all stakeholders. This level of detail is crucial when dealing with large steel shipments.

Another key aspect of our service is ensuring that the end receiver is kept informed about their shipment. We automatically notify the receiver when the goods are loaded and en route.

This real-time communication ensures a smooth and transparent process, which is especially appreciated in cross-border shipments where customs procedures for steel can add complexity.

– We manage transports within as well as outside of EU and have the capacity and knowledge to solve complex customs related problems, says Erik Malmberg.
