France Freight Forwarders

Road Freight and Specialist Transport Across France and Europe

Road transport remains central to freight forwarding in France, particularly for movements between industrial regions and neighbouring countries.

Through access to specialist equipment across Europe, STG manages a wide range of cargo, including heavy and oversized units requiring low loaders or modular trailer configurations.

France has also featured as a key transit and destination country in a number of long-distance European movements, including escorted transport of large fabrications over extended routes, where planning around road restrictions and access formed a significant part of the project.

Inland Waterways and Alternative Transport Methods

In certain cases, inland waterways provide a more practical solution than road transport alone.

France’s river network has been used as part of wider European movements where cargo size or weight made road transport less efficient. STG has experience combining barge and road transport to ensure that heavy equipment can move without unnecessary restriction, particularly where infrastructure limits apply.

Air Freight for Time-Critical Shipments

Where deadlines are fixed, air freight provides a reliable option.

STG has arranged both scheduled and charter airfreight solutions, including the movement of a complete canning line from Bologna to Shanghai using the Antonov 124. The project required precise coordination to meet a defined delivery window, with no flexibility once scheduled.
