Special transports/Movement by crane
Inasmuch as we work as haulage contactor, also as heavy loads haulage contractor, then we do so exclusively on the basis of the General German Haulier Terms and Conditions (ADSp). The “General Terms and Conditions of the German Federal Working Group Heavy Haulage and Crane Work (AGB-BSK)” apply if we ourselves perform crane work or carry out heavy and bulky transports and rough assemblies as a component of the crane work or transport service. For other assemblies that are not rough assemblies in the meaning of the AGB- BSK, we work on the basis of the BSK Terms and Conditions of Assembly (BSK- Assembly). The respective most recently published version of AGB- BSK and BSK- Assembly applies.
