Dangerous goods

Safety and security come first

With our own Dangerous Goods Officers at our business sites, we train our employees in how to handle dangerous items, monitor the transport operation and ensure compliance with the national and international dangerous goods directives. We are able to provide evidence of the safety and quality of our services using the Safety & Quality Assessment System (SQAS).

SQAS is a standard established by the European Chemical Industry Council. It assesses the quality, safety and environmental compatibility of logistics specialists, both for transporting hazardous items and for establishing specific quality standards for storing and transporting chemicals. Our services include the following:

  • Dangerous goods (ADR)
  • Excepted quantities (EQ)
  • Limited quantities (LQ)
  • Temperature-controlled transport

 

Temperature-controlled transport

We protect your temperature-sensitive goods

We specialise in the transport of temperature-sensitive goods such as chemicals, pharmaceutical goods, paint and lacquer, adhesives and foils.

Rhenus uses thermal vehicles for line haul, which provide several benefits:

 

  • Thermal swap bodies with air conditioning
  • Cooling and heating via diesel motor or electricity
  • Technological recording and monitoring to ensure the maintenance of constant temperatures
You can see the delivery of goods within a cold chain.

In addition to special know-how and technology, temperature-controlled shipments with Rhenus South Korea are made possible as a result of our tight-knit network and daily pick-ups. Within national networks on the mainland, we can offer delivery within 24 hours. For these deliveries, we use passive temperature control and thermal covers in different sizes. We also offer door-to-door deliveries for B2B transports.

Rhenus transports are continuously documented using barcode scanning at each interface. This also enables you to track and trace your shipment via our web-based solution.

The safe and secure delivery of your goods and your freight is very important to us. That is why we provide security with the use of sealed trailers as well as GPS positioning and automatic location notification via mobile communications (GSM). For further information, our hotline is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Transport insurance

We act on your behalf

The liability of freight forwarders is regulated by law and limited for international goods. If any damage or loss occurs, the compensation amount is usually significantly lower than the actual value of the goods. Other exemptions from liability often apply as well.

We therefore recommend additional insurance protection in order to prevent any costs being incurred in cases of damage or loss.

We can offer you various cost-effective solutions for this and are here to establish contact with our insurance partner for you:

  • “All risks” insurance
  • Tailored transport insurance policies
  • Taking out insurance for each consignment or on a long-term basis
