Schoonacker Transport assists industrial companies from A to Z with relocations, machine handling, and transport. Both nationally and internationally. Based in Wetteren, we work for companies in diverse sectors, each with its own complexity.
After all, you move a production line in the food industry differently than a press machine in the metalworking industry. Customization is not a slogan for us. It is how we work.
Our expertise is broad. Our approach is always specific.
Why sector knowledge makes the difference
Industrial relocations are never routine work. Every factory is different. Every machine has its own weight, dimensions, and technical requirements. And every sector brings specific challenges: strict regulations, cramped factory spaces, complex production lines, or hygiene requirements that must be respected even during a move.
Schoonacker Transport has an extensive range of rolling stock and a specialized team that complies with all VCA standards and holds the necessary diplomas and certificates. This gives you the assurance that every project, no matter how complex, is executed with safety and efficiency as the top priority. No surprises. No compromises.
The sectors in which Schoonacker is active
Below you will find an overview of the industrial sectors for which Schoonacker Transport actively carries out projects, with the most characteristic challenges listed for each.
Food sector: hygiene and continuity come first
The food industry is one of the most demanding sectors when it comes to industrial relocations. Machinery is heavy, production environments must be hygienic, and downtime costs money. Moreover, food companies are required to operate according to the HACCP system , and these standards also apply to any external partner entering the production area.
Schoonacker Transport is familiar with this context. We meticulously align every move with your quality procedures, from the initial inspection to the reassembly of your production line at the new location. With over 20 years of experience, we know exactly what is at stake when a line comes to a standstill.
Textile sector: precision for sensitive machines
Industrial looms, embroidery machines, cutting systems. These are machines that are not simply moved from A to B. They weigh several tons, consist of hundreds of precisely tuned parts, and require a well-thought-out disassembly sequence.
One wrong move can shut down production for days.
Schoonacker Transport understands the logic behind textile machinery. We help think through transport routes, the dismantling sequence, and reassembly at the new location. Nationally or internationally. We are ready.
Metal processing: heavy-duty, precise, and without downtime
CNC milling machines, laser cutters, and presses. The metalworking industry works with machines that are large, heavy, and often precisely calibrated. They are rarely designed to be moved. And yet, sometimes it is necessary. Quickly, safely, and with minimal downtime.
Schoonacker Transport offers a customized total solution: from preparation and dismantling to transport and precise reinstallation at the new location. Our specialized team and extensive fleet of machinery make the difference. Even for cross-border projects.
Automotive: no room for errors
The automotive industry runs on precision. Every minute of downtime costs money. Every error in the production line has consequences that extend far beyond the shop floor. Robot arms, press lines, welding bridges, assembly lines. Each component has its own weight, dimensions, and technical requirements.
Schoonacker Transport offers a complete package from A to Z: from thorough preparation and expert dismantling to transport, handling, and placement at the new location. Including temporary storage if the new location is not yet ready. As a family business, we are very attuned to our customers' expectations. They want a complete project. We provide that.
Petrochemicals: safety as the absolute foundation
In the petrochemical sector, there is no room for error. Process plants, distillation columns, compressors weighing tens of tons. It requires a partner with the right knowledge, the right equipment, and the right permits. Safety is not a side issue here. It is the foundation of everything.
Schoonacker Transport offers a total solution: from dismantling and transport to installation and, if necessary, reinforcing the ground or constructing custom metal structures. A single point of contact. Less coordination, less risk, more control.
