Client Overview
Our client, the largest Allu operator in Europe, approached us with an urgent and highly specific request for a particular late-model Allu unit. Their operations demanded a reliable, low-hour machine with a known service history to meet critical project timelines on a major construction site in Finland.
Challenge
The client required:
- A very specific model of an Allu unit.
- Immediate availability with low operational hours.
- Verified service history and full working condition.
- Expedited transport across multiple European countries.
- A strict delivery deadline to ensure operational continuity at their jobsite.
Our Solution
Sourcing the Unit
We swiftly located a late-model Allu unit that met all technical specifications. The unit had low operational hours and a fully documented service history. Once sourced, we coordinated an on-site inspection in Germany.
Inspection and Testing
- We personally attended the machine viewing near Hamburg, Germany.
- Conducted a full operational test and run, verifying mechanical condition.
- During inspection, we identified a missing in-cab monitor—a critical component.
- We promptly sourced a replacement directly from Allu to ensure complete functionality.
Pre-Shipment and Logistics
- All pre-shipment checks were completed in just five days, including installation of the replacement monitor.
- The unit was loaded onto a low-bed trailer, measuring 3400mm in width.
- We secured over width transport permits and began the overland journey through Poland, exiting via Gdynia Port.
Transport and Delivery
- The machine departed Germany on the morning of Wednesday, July 30th.
- Transported on the same trailer from origin to final site—minimising risk and handling.
- Crossed the Baltic Sea via ferry from Gdynia to Helsinki.
- Arrived in Finland and was delivered to the job site.
- Total transit time: just 4 days from collection to on-site delivery.
Outcome
- The Allu unit was delivered on time, fully operational, and ready for immediate deployment.
- Our proactive approach and end-to-end logistics coordination ensured zero downtime for the client’s project.
- This case demonstrates our capability to source, inspect, and deliver specialised machinery across borders under tight time constraints—with complete transparency and professionalism.
