Vehicle transport at Nou Transport

How we ensure safe vehicle transport at Nou Transport

At Nou Transport, we understand that every vehicle we transport represents significant value for our clients, whether economic, operational or strategic. For this reason, safety during transport is not optional, but an essential part of how we work. Every journey is carried out following clear and rigorous procedures designed to minimise risks and ensure vehicles arrive at their destination in perfect condition.

Our team applies a series of key steps on every trip, based on experience, continuous training and strict compliance with current regulations.

Balanced weight distribution

One of the most important aspects of vehicle transport is the correct distribution of weight on the car carrier. Each vehicle is positioned strategically to maintain balance, avoiding overloads on specific axles or tilts that could compromise stability during driving.

Proper weight distribution not only protects the transported vehicles but also contributes to safer driving, reduces wear on the transport unit and improves overall handling during braking, cornering and manoeuvres.

High-strength straps and securing systems

Vehicle securing is a critical part of the process. At Nou Transport, we use high-strength, approved straps and securing systems, which are regularly inspected to ensure maximum reliability.

Each vehicle is secured at solid chassis points, avoiding sensitive areas that could be damaged during transit. Before departure, the driver carefully checks every securing point to ensure all straps are correctly tensioned and firmly in place.

Correct height and spacing between vehicles

Respecting the maximum permitted height and maintaining the correct distance between vehicles is essential to prevent incidents. Excessive height can pose risks at bridges, overpasses or access points, while insufficient spacing may cause rubbing or damage due to vibrations.

For this reason, these parameters are carefully checked before each departure, ensuring the load complies with regulations and remains stable throughout the journey, even on long routes or under changing road conditions.

Pre-trip inspection

Before starting the journey, we carry out a complete inspection of the load. This includes checking securing systems, vehicle positioning, total height, the condition of the car carrier and proper signage.

This step is essential, as a thorough pre-trip inspection can prevent issues during transport. In logistics, prevention is key, and spending a few minutes on detailed checks makes a significant difference in terms of safety and reliability.

Responsible and professional driving

Safety does not end with proper loading. During the journey, our drivers maintain a responsible driving style adapted to vehicle transport, avoiding sudden braking, sharp turns or abrupt acceleration.

Thanks to their experience and training, our drivers are able to anticipate potential risks and maintain smooth, controlled driving, always prioritising the safety of the load, the driver and other road users.

Commitment to quality and safety

By correctly following each of these stages, we are able to provide a safe, reliable and high-quality transport service, aligned with our clients’ expectations. At Nou Transport, we work with a professional and responsible approach, knowing that trust is built trip by trip.

Our commitment is clear: to treat every vehicle as if it were our own and ensure it reaches its destination in the best possible condition.
