Special and heavy container transport from the Port of Barcelona

Open top, flat rack, out of gauge (OOG) and high tonnage. When the container the port hands over will not fit or weighs too much for ordinary transport, we resolve the last kilometre to your plant, site or substation.

What we move

Open top

Cargo too tall to fit through the doors, loaded from above by crane. We resolve the height of the combination.

Flat rack

Machinery, structures and project cargo that projects in width. Reinforced lashing.

Out of gauge (OOG)

When chassis, container and cargo exceed the general measurements: permit, pilot and escort.

High tonnage

Boxes that concentrate a lot of weight: the axle configuration that distributes it within what is admissible.

How we work

Reading on the quay

We measure and weigh the box itself, not the document. We decide whether to move it whole or empty it.

Platform and permit

Low bed or extendable, authorisation under the SCT regime and a clearance and itinerary study.

Pilot and escort

Pilot vehicle and, where appropriate, accompaniment by the Mossos d’Esquadra.

Delivery

From the port to your destination, with a single point of contact from start to finish.

Why Pastor

CST accreditation — we handle the cargo from the moment it arrives on the Port of Barcelona quay.
Since 1963 — sixty years of family special transport.
Own fleet — low bed and extendable platform; for the heaviest or widest, the right configuration for each case.
Real last mile — Catalonia, the Ebro Corridor and southern France.
A single point of contact — from the first analysis to delivery.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a special container transport cost?

It depends on the gauge, the weight, the itinerary and whether a pilot or escort is needed. We give an indicative quote within 24 working hours.

What permits do I need and who arranges them?

We arrange them: SCT in Catalonia and ACC for the rest of Spain. A movement from the port to the Catalan interior is authorised by the SCT.

Do you move the container whole or empty it?

Whichever suits: sometimes it moves whole, sometimes it is emptied on the quay and the piece travels on its own. The decision is made by measuring the box itself.

Where do you operate?

Catalonia, the Ebro Corridor and southern France are our natural ground. For destinations further out, we point you to a closer operator.

Do you have a special container to move?

Tell us the container type (open top, flat rack…), the weight, the dimensions and the origin-destination. Within 24 working hours you receive a working proposal with the recommended platform, timelines and an indicative quote.
