For almost 30 years we have been active in the areas of heavy and large-volume transport, project and system forwarding and in the area of contract logistics.
Our company history in the logistics sector, which extends across various company forms and structures, began in 1994. As a handling forwarder, our managing partner started implementing his ideas for individual customer service and transport logistics tailored to our clients.
Within the last 2 years we have further invested in our special equipment and our vehicle fleet. Our fleet has been increased and renewed by a total of 2020% since 30 to meet the increasing demand for cargo space and spe
to do justice to the cial equipment. Along with the shortage of loading space and rising operating costs, it was necessary to invest in an efficient and energy-saving vehicle fleet.
The global pandemic presents our company with new challenges. Daily adjustments to the new circumstances, the restructuring and reorientation of the company and the management are necessary in order to be able to deal with the new tasks with flexibility

With video meetings, structural and organizational adjustments to our internal and external processes and the corresponding restructuring of our internal divisions, we are defying the restrictions of the global pandemic and preparing for a new era.
LC Heavy Transport and Contract Logistics regularly renews its extensive fleet of special vehicles and invests in the latest technology. Tire pressure monitoring sensors and interactive fleet management software are now standard features in our vehicles.
With our own brake testers and regular Dekra and TÜV inspections, our commercial vehicle master workshop is being further modernized and expanded.
Our contract logistics division is growing and a new task for tank logistics begins. Crane provision and complete construction site logistics determine our new contract logistics area.
With our new contract logistics area, the maintenance of mobile transport systems in our commercial vehicle workshop and the storage of the systems at our company headquarters also begins.
LC starts at the new operating location in 47647 Kerken, which was completely renewed, renovated and adapted to the needs of our fast-growing company in advance.
With the availability of over 14,000 square meters of paved outdoor storage space and the commissioning of our commercial vehicle workshop and trailer maintenance, new challenges begin at our new location.
The tasks are becoming more complex and the number of orders is increasing. These changes require a restructuring of the previous company processes as well as the outsourcing of various service areas to associated company forms.
LC Schwertransport und Kontraktlogistik GmbH is set up as one of these outsourcing and in connection with the planning and construction of its own logistics center in Kerken on the Lower Rhine. Planning for the purchase and conversion of a new location with appropriate storage facilities and a commercial vehicle workshop begins.
The entry into the larger special fleet class with low loaders, tank bridges and extendable telescopic semi-trailers as well as the expansion of the large-capacity transport area begin.
The area of outsourcing and contract logistics starts with several projects by taking over the shipping areas of our clients, which were previously managed internally, and the associated handling of the entire freight logistics by our own employees on site.
Employees to apply for special permits and to manage the vehicle fleet started in the still small department.
The first, smaller vehicle combinations were purchased and the expansion of the international system logistics area was now supplemented by self-entry as a competent freight carrier.
In the years that followed, the division continued to expand. The initially small team grew and so the expansion into larger offices was necessary in the same year.
The history of the founder of our company began on March 13, 1994 as a freight forwarder in the field of normal freight traffic, large-capacity and plant transports as well as in the logistical handling of plant projects with delivery of all plant parts from various shippers and production sites for international shipment to a destination.
