The main features of the transportation of building materials

Due to regular repair and construction work taking place on the territory of Ukraine, it is necessary to constantly buy and transport building materials that are needed for efficient construction. Due to the large abundance of all different building materials, for high-quality cargo transportation, you need to carefully choose the category of the cargo being transported. Such cargoes have differences not only in weight and dimensions, but also in technical parameters, the importance of which is no less important when planning cargo transportation.

Today, there are no unambiguous conditions and rules for the transportation of all building materials in Ukraine. There is a great need for a thorough and detailed analysis of the features of the transportation of all types of construction materials, among which there are variations of a car for its transportation. To facilitate this task, it is enough to ask for help from the transport company Don-Trans. The specialists of this company are engaged in professional services for the transportation of building materials.

Features of the organization of transportation of building materials

Now only a professional transport company can correctly organize and transport building materials, taking into account the most important rules for the transportation of standard and non-standard cargo. To accomplish this task, Don-Trans specialists have an integrated approach:

• selection of the optimal car;
• compliance with documentary support;
• insurance of the cargo being transported;
• special tools and equipment for unloading and loading building materials in cars;
• obtaining all necessary documents for the transportation of building materials.

When preparing for cargo transportation, our specialists always carefully analyze various factors, which certainly play an important role in the transportation of building materials.

Almost always, the transportation of building materials goes from the manufacturing plant itself, or from the supplier’s warehouse, and ends with the arrival at the construction site. The maximum distance in this case usually does not exceed 300 kilometers. However, if the distance for transportation of building materials is too long, it will be much more profitable for the customer to find a supplier of building materials much closer to the construction site. It is worth noting that transportation over long distances is financially justified if the cargo for delivery is various expensive products or large goods, such as ceramics, designer tiles or even natural stone. Most often, the production of such materials is located in another region or even in another country.

The safety of the transported cargo is the most important factor in the transportation of building materials. Therefore, they must take place in full compliance with all international standards. Transportation over long distances has a high risk of cargo damage. Damage to the transported cargo can be as deformation of structures, solidification of solutions and mixtures, unsuitability of fragile materials. In order to save finances in the event of such problems, it is important to insure the transported cargo against possible accidents before transportation.

You can order the transportation of building materials in batches of various volumes of products from Don-Trans. Our managers will select the best transport that is able to accommodate even the most oversized cargo and easily successfully implements the required number of flights. It is very important to take into account the timing for the transportation of building materials. This significantly affects which car is used for transportation. In our country, the best option is to use trucks. If you need to transport a small amount of cargo, such as bulk materials, choosing a gazelle as a car for transportation will be financially justified.

What are the categories of building materials

Quality and reliable transportation of building materials in Ukraine is inexpensively carried out with the help of Don-Trans. Our experienced drivers are engaged in cargo transportation of all types of building materials. Taking into account the characteristics of the cargo being transported, the usual classification of building materials contains the following categories:

• Loose building materials. This category includes cement, sand, gravel and other materials. At first it may seem that such a simple product is not particularly demanding on the conditions of transportation, but, nevertheless, this is an erroneous opinion. Almost always, bulk building materials are transported using dump trucks. The cement must never come into contact with moisture. A mandatory requirement for the transportation of such materials is careful packaging or transportation in a closed container. As for the unloading and loading of building materials, they are carried out using gravity, pneumatic or mechanical methods.
• Liquid building materials. One of the most popular types is concrete. Such material is insanely demanding for careful storage and proper transportation. This category of building materials is transported quite quickly thanks to the use of special tanks that are in constant rotation to maintain the correct structure of the concrete.
• Uniform building materials. Brick belongs to this category of building materials. This product must be transported as carefully as possible so that its integrity is not violated. Quite often, bricks are transported using special pallets, which are additionally covered with polyethylene. But when loading and unloading bricks, manipulators are always used.

All products of building materials are always fixed with a special crossbar or belts. Due to the presence of metal structures in a car with a long body, you can load the cargo into the car vertically.

Used vehicles for the transport of building materials

Transportation of building materials at an affordable price is a fairly frequent request among the inhabitants of our country. Transportation of building materials can be delivered using various means of transport: air, rail, water and various vehicles. Often, special equipment is also used, including tanks, concrete mixers and mixers.

Trucks account for 80% of all building materials transportation. These trucks have a special body type and increased load capacity. Such transport has a lot of advantages, including high speed, increased maneuverability, which helps to deliver products on difficult sections of the road. Such trucks have the ability to quickly load and unload building materials.
