Showcase

Two Audi SUVs loaded on the two decks of an open transporter

Two SUVs, one run

For a current car on a short run, open transport is the sensible choice.

Red Ferrari 296 GTS and Porsche 911 unloaded at the roadside

Unloaded en route

A 296 GTS and a 911 handed back at the roadside, engines cold.

Multicoloured Ford Mustang art car in profile inside an enclosed transporter

A rolling artwork

Carried like an exhibition piece, because that is what it is.

Prewar Bugatti coupé inside the open transporter with crew and onlookers around

An audience at the ramp

Unloading in public is part of the job. It changes nothing about how it is done.

Four men pushing a prewar Bugatti by hand across cobbles beside a park

Pushed, not driven

Starting a cold prewar engine for thirty metres is a risk. Four backs are cheaper.

Black Bugatti grand prix car and a blue streamlined Bugatti inside the transporter

Two racing Bugattis

One open, one enclosed, both built to race. They travel in the order they will be unloaded.

Rear wing detail of a Lancia 037 in Martini Racing livery

Martini wing

An original racing part: it travels under cover, the way it is kept.

Silver Porsche 911 Speedster inside an enclosed transporter

911 Speedster

A limited-run convertible carried behind closed doors, roof in place.

Silver Mercedes-AMG speedster with no windscreen driving onto the ramps

Onto the ramps

No roof, no windscreen: the trailer is the only shelter it will get.

Blue streamlined prewar Bugatti racing car with race number on the transporter deck

French racing blue

Enclosed bodywork, wire wheels, a number on the flank. Loaded with the ramps at their flattest.

Blue streamlined Bugatti coming down the transporter ramps in a cobbled street

Down the ramps

Cobbles, a slope and a car with no clearance. Somebody walks each wheel down.

Prewar Bugatti running on the transporter ramp at dusk, exhaust smoke in the air

Warming up

An engine of this age is warmed before it is asked for anything. The smoke clears.

Silver Audi Sportback on a white plinth at an outdoor event, transporter unloading behind

Straight onto the plinth

The delivery ends on the stand, not in a car park behind it.

Blue Porsche 993 Turbo seen through the transporter's side door

Side check

One look through the flank is enough to confirm nothing has shifted.

Car transporter with open flanks loaded with two Lamborghinis

Open flank

Full side opening lets us load from the side when the rear is blocked.

Crew member walking the length of the loaded museum transporter under a blue sky

Final check

Nothing leaves until someone has walked the length of the trailer once more.

Fiat 500 lifted by a crane truck above a Brussels avenue

Above the avenue

A shop window is not a loading bay. The car reaches it the only way left.

Fiat 500 hanging from a crane arm over the truck bed, buildings around

Between the façades

The arm has one clear line between the wires and the balconies. It is found before the lift starts.

Fiat 500 in green lifting slings above a street, crew member below

In the slings

Four slings under the sills, spread by a frame so nothing pulls inward on the body.

Lamborghini Revuelto loaded, ramps laid on the ground

Ready to come down

Ramps chocked, crew in position: the car only moves afterwards.

Car transporter loaded outside a Porsche dealership

Loaded at the door

Two decks, two cars, one manoeuvre: the upper deck loads first.

Fiat 500 with racing stripes set down on artificial grass in front of a showroom

On the display

Set down on the display itself, not beside it. The crane leaves before the shop opens.

Car hanging from a tower crane high above the rooftops of a city

On the tower crane

Above a certain height a truck crane runs out of arm. The site crane takes over.

Dark red saloon hanging in lifting slings above a city skyline

Over the city

Nothing below the car for the length of the lift. The street is closed for the duration.
