Every cargo needs its right vehicle; a refrigerated load and a machinery load are two completely different worlds. Vira Farabar Logistics supplies the right vehicle for each cargo with a diversified fleet and logistics facilities, and manages the transport process from loading to delivery. In this article we review our fleet and its facilities.
The types of vehicle in the fleet
| Type of vehicle | Main use | Suitable for |
|---|---|---|
| Flatbed truck | bulky loads and large sections | machinery, profiles, pipes |
| Curtain truck | loading quickly from the side | industrial and packaged cargo |
| Reefer trailer | temperature control | perishable goods and foodstuffs |
| Container | combined transport | packaged and multi-destination goods |
Choosing the right vehicle for your cargo
The choice of vehicle depends on several factors:
- Type of cargo: fragile, reefer, liquid or bulky
- Weight and dimensions: the capacity and dimensions of the load must match the vehicle; see the details in truck loading and stowage
- Route and distance: the distance and the road conditions affect the choice of vehicle
- Transport method: full truckload or less-than-truckload (comparison in FCL and LCL)
Note: for temperature-sensitive goods the use of a reefer trailer is mandatory and has special conditions; before departure coordinate the right temperature and loading time.
The logistics facilities that come with the transport
In addition to the fleet, the following facilities complete your transport process:
- Monitoring by the operations operator: tracking the loading, movement and delivery at every stage
- Coordinating the loading and securing: standard loading in line with the safety principles
- Real-time tracking: informing you of the progress of the cargo
- Transparent documents and waybill: a waybill without hidden costs (see the process in behind the scenes of Vira Farabar)
The covered routes
Our fleet is focused on the road routes of Iran and Turkey and moves the cargo through the Urmia and Bazargan borders. Check the choice of the right border in Urmia customs or Bazargan customs.
Important note: choosing the right vehicle directly affects the cost and the time. For cargoes with an unsuitable vehicle the chance of a stoppage and a hidden cost is higher.
FAQ
Does your fleet have a reefer truck?
Yes, reefer trailers are available for perishable and temperature-sensitive goods.
Which vehicle suits a large and bulky cargo?
The flatbed trucks and the trailers suitable for the bulky goods and the machinery are the best options.
Do you offer combined (road and sea) transport?
Yes, for the routes that need a combination of transport the container and the necessary coordination are provided.
Warning: a mistake in choosing the vehicle before departure is not easily corrected; over-capacity load, temperature-sensitive goods in an ordinary truck or an incorrect stowage all raise the risk of a stoppage at the border and of damage to the cargo. Before loading, give the expert the exact specifications of your load.
