Showcase

Profile of a Bugatti Chiron inside an enclosed trailer

Doors closed

What the car sees for the whole journey: nothing.

Car transporter with ramps down at the roadside

Roadside stop

Ramps down on the hard shoulder: the delivery happens where it has to happen.

Red touring race car inside a rigid enclosed truck parked in a city street

A racer downtown

A rigid truck goes where an articulated one cannot: into the street itself.

Brightly wrapped Porsche 911s filling both decks of an open transporter

Two full decks

A full load for a single exhibition: one truck, one delivery window.

Red saloon being lowered onto a rooftop terrace, crew waiting to receive it

Coming down

The last metre is the slow one. Hands on the tyres, nobody under the load.

Enclosed transporter with its side doors open, cars visible on both decks

Open along the side

Doors along the whole length: a car is reached where it stands, not after moving three others.

Race-liveried Lamborghini being loaded onto a flatbed in the wet

Loaded in the wet

A racing car has slicks and no wipers. The weather decides nothing except how slowly it is done.

Rear of a Lamborghini Revuelto in a transporter, vineyard behind

Arrival at the estate

Doors opening onto vines: the delivery address is not always a city.

Enclosed transporter with ramps down, Aston Martin Valour aboard, Brussels street

Delivered in Brussels

Ramps laid on cobbles: the ground is prepared before the car moves.

Green classic Mercedes roadster parked in front of the open transporter

First one off

Unloaded and parked before the next one comes down the ramps.

Blue and red supercars on the decks of an enclosed transporter in company livery, side open

A full load

Closed, it keeps the cars under cover. Open, it loads from the side, deck by deck.

Dark green classic car with wire wheels on the lower deck of a transporter

Wire wheels

Spokes and knock-off hubs. The strap goes over the tyre and nowhere near the rim.

Two Porsches on the two decks of a lit enclosed transporter at night

Loaded at night

Lit for the work, not for the photograph. Loading at night is loading like any other.

Lancia Delta Integrale in profile in front of the museum colonnade

Integrale in profile

Set down outside the museum, ramps still in place behind it.

Enclosed transporter on the quay in the port of Monaco

On the quay

Port of Monaco: the delivery ends where the car will be seen.

Yellow AMG GT in an enclosed transporter, Monaco harbour behind

Monaco harbour

Aboard to the last metre, doors opening onto the water.

Red Ferrari Testarossa in a small enclosed truck before the Cinquantenaire halls

In front of the halls

One car, one truck: the size of the load decides the size of the vehicle.

Rear of a black Mercedes SLR McLaren inside a transporter, tail lights on

Reversed in

Reversed aboard so it drives out forwards. A car with this much overhang is not turned on a deck.

Crew member kneeling beside a Mercedes SLR McLaren to secure it on the deck

Four points

The car sits on its own suspension. The straps hold the wheels, and the wheels hold the car.

Crew member tensioning a strap on a Mercedes SLR McLaren on the lower deck

Tensioned by hand

Tight enough that nothing moves, loose enough that the suspension works. Judged, not measured.

Lamborghini Revuelto seen through the transporter's side door

Open flank

The side opening exists to check the lashing without moving anything.

Rear of an Aston Martin Valour inside an enclosed trailer

Enclosed cabin

Padded walls, clean lighting, no other car close enough to touch it.

Enclosed transporter open at the rear on an Antwerp quay, warehouse behind

On the quay

A car that crosses water arrives at a dock, not at a dealership. Someone has to be there.

Mercedes SLR McLaren on the lower deck of a transporter beside a brick warehouse

Waiting on the deck

Loaded and left closed until the address is confirmed. The truck waits, the car stays inside.
