A historic business unit within MB Groupe, MB Transports has been your trusted partner for over 40 years! Today, MB Transports operates a fleet of 50 vehicles, with or without trailers: 25 vehicles dedicated to exceptional transport of indivisible, heavy, and oversized loads, machinery transport, and distribution or conventional transport, and another 25 crane-equipped vehicles for on-site handling and combined transport and lifting operations.
We are also specialized in glass installation using suction systems with capacities ranging from 350 kg to 1200 kg.
For the transport of indivisible, heavy, and oversized loads, MB Transports offers a dedicated exceptional convoy service. Thanks to our extendable trailers, semi-low loaders, and extra-low loaders, we can provide the ideal solution for your transport needs. We hold the necessary exceptional transport permits, and you will of course benefit from continuous cargo tracking and professional advice.
For the transport of conventional goods, MB Transports offers a reliable distribution service. For your loading and unloading operations at ground level or height, we provide tail lift trucks, crane trucks, and trucks or semi-trailers equipped with onboard forklifts. The experience and expertise of our team ensure safe transport and unloading, eliminating any potential risk of damage to your goods.
For your transport operations involving loading and/or unloading in hard-to-reach or elevated areas, as well as for various handling requirements, MB Transports operates several types of crane trucks: flatbed crane trucks from 3 to 7.5 meters equipped with cranes ranging from 25 to 82 T/m, and tractor cranes combined with (semi-)lowbed trailers equipped with cranes from 36 to 140 T/m.
We are also specialized in glass handling using crane trucks (with or without crawler or electric cranes), suction systems with capacities from 350 kg to 1,200 kg, and a 3D robotic suction lifter.
NEW 2024: Jekko MPK10 – Glass Lift 3D suction system, 990 kg capacity.
Based in Thimister-Clermont, our specialized drivers handle the transport of machinery and long, wide, or heavy construction elements throughout Belgium and beyond.
For the transport of reels, stone and marble, various materials, and blocks, MB Transports also operates a fleet of long semi-crane trailers equipped with mobile cranes: flatbed semi-trailers with 16 TM cranes and wooden supports, semi-cranes with forks, and semi-cranes with block clamps. Fast and efficient execution guaranteed.
MB Transports specialises in abnormal transport, the transport of construction machinery and industrial equipment, conventional and distribution transport, as well as transport with handling services. We also have vehicles equipped with cranes and truck-mounted lifts to handle loading and unloading directly on site.
We transport a wide range of goods, including machines, construction machinery, building components, industrial parts, materials, glass, cable drums, stone, marble, blocks and conventional goods. For specific requirements, our planning team will determine the most suitable solution.
A conventional transport operation involves goods whose weight and dimensions comply with the permitted limits for normal road transport.
An abnormal transport operation is required when the vehicle or its indivisible load exceeds the regulatory dimensions or weight limits. It may then require specific permits, a suitable route and, in some cases, an accompanying vehicle or escort.
MB Transports handles both types of transport and adapts the solution to the specific characteristics of each load.
We operate throughout Belgium and internationally, mainly across Europe. Each transport operation is assessed according to the route, the characteristics of the load and the regulations applicable in the countries it passes through.
In Belgium, a permit is required in particular when the vehicle combination exceeds certain regulatory limits, for example 2.55 m in width, 4 m in height or 44 tonnes for certain 5-axle combinations. Length limits depend on the type of vehicle combination.
Yes. MB Transports has extensive expertise in the administrative management of abnormal transport operations. We hold a comprehensive portfolio of standard permits and can apply for any additional permits required for specific transport operations, including route studies and roadbooks where necessary.
Abnormal transport may require an accompanying vehicle or escort depending on its dimensions, weight, route and traffic constraints. Depending on the transport category and applicable regulations, one or more escort vehicles may be required to ensure the safety of the convoy and other road users.
MB Transports assesses each route in advance and, where necessary, arranges the appropriate escort measures for the transport.
There is no single limit that applies to all transport operations. Our capacity depends on the weight, dimensions of the load, selected vehicle, load distribution, route and available permits. We therefore assess each abnormal transport operation individually to determine the appropriate technical and regulatory configuration.
A low-loader semi-trailer is particularly suitable for transporting tall, heavy or oversized loads, while an extendable semi-trailer is designed to transport particularly long loads.
Our fleet includes extendable flatbeds, low-loader and extra-low-loader semi-trailers, allowing us to adapt the vehicle to the dimensions and specific requirements of each load.
A delivery with a truck-mounted forklift is particularly suitable when no unloading equipment is available at the delivery location.
Our rigid trucks and semi-trailers equipped with truck-mounted lifts make it possible to transport and unload the goods directly at the recipient’s premises, completely independently.
A delivery with a truck-mounted forklift is ideal when the goods need to be unloaded directly at the delivery location, without relying on equipment available on site.
This solution provides greater flexibility and autonomy, particularly for deliveries to construction sites, depots, shops or customers without their own handling equipment.
A crane truck is recommended when the goods need to be loaded, unloaded or positioned directly at the delivery location, particularly when suitable handling equipment is not available on site.
MB Transports has several types of crane trucks and crane-equipped tractor units, with capacities of up to 140 Tm, depending on the vehicle. This solution makes it possible to combine transport and handling in a single operation.
Yes. The transport of construction machinery, machines and industrial equipment is one of our areas of expertise. Our experienced drivers have vehicles and trailers suited to the specific requirements of this type of load.
The transport and handling of glass requires equipment suited to its weight, dimensions and fragility, in order to minimise risks during handling and installation.
MB Transports has crane trucks, compact cranes and specialised vacuum lifters for the transport, handling and installation of glass. Our equipment offers capacities ranging from 350 to 1,200 kg, as well as 3D robotic vacuum lifting systems for more specialised operations.
Yes, delivery by truck to a private residence is possible when access and safety conditions allow. Before delivery, it is particularly important to check vehicle accessibility, the space available for manoeuvring and handling, as well as the unloading conditions. MB Transports assesses these various factors in advance to provide a suitable delivery solution.
Safety begins with choosing the right vehicle, ensuring correct load distribution and securing the load appropriately according to the characteristics of the goods. Our teams also take into account loading, transport and unloading conditions to minimise risks to the goods, people and infrastructure. Our experience in specialised transport and handling enables us to anticipate the specific constraints of each operation.
The lead time depends on the type of transport. Conventional transport can sometimes be arranged quickly, depending on the availability of our fleet. For abnormal transport, the technical assessment, route planning and any permit applications must also be taken into account. Some administrative procedures may take several working days. We therefore recommend contacting us as early as possible, while our planning team will always seek the fastest feasible solution.

For abnormal transport, precise information about the dimensions and weight is essential in order to determine the appropriate vehicle, route and required permits.
Our team is here to listen and provide the best possible advice, from departure to the arrival of your goods.
