Hämmerle Spezialtransporte

What Hämmerle Spezialtransporte does

Hämmerle Spezialtransporte GmbH is an Austrian privately-held heavy-haulage specialist headquartered in Hard am Bodensee, Vorarlberg, founded in February 2001 by Reinhard Hämmerle and Reinhard Gasser. The company transports oversized, overweight and unusually-dimensioned loads (up to 105 tonnes payload and 36 m telescopic length via its flagship Chamäleon low-bed) for construction, prefab-building, industrial-machinery, energy and public-infrastructure customers across Europe, holding Austrian Blaulichtgenehmigungen that allow police-independent execution of special transports of any dimension or weight.

The firm's core technology is a diversified fleet of specialised trailers (Megatrailer, Plateausattel, Maschinenauflieger, Telesattel, Jumbotrailer, Semitieflader, Innenlader, Tiefbetttieflader including the Chamäleon) paired with 2- to 4-axle EURO 6 tractor units, an integrated 92 m/to truck-mounted crane, 80 to/m² pressure-distribution plates for indoor machine placement, and approximately 2,500 m² of indoor warehousing plus ~8,000 m² of outdoor storage at its Hard site. It is the Austrian member and co-founder (2003) of the BigMove cross-border cooperation network (Germany, Austria, Czechia, Poland) with 550+ years of combined partner experience, enabling multi-vehicle, multi-country projects (e.g., the Port of Genoa crane girders).

Hämmerle generates revenue through project-based, quote-priced professional services: each Spezialtransport, crane/assembly job, and warehousing assignment is individually quoted against load dimensions, weight, route and permits, with no published rate card or subscription model. Pricing is opaque, lead capture runs through an online Anfrage form plus phone/email/fax, and distribution combines in-house direct sales (handled by managing directors Fabian and Gunter Hämmerle) at the Austrian HQ and a Bavarian branch office (Niederlassung Mintraching), with project execution often co-delivered alongside BigMove partners. Ownership is concentrated: Fabian Hämmerle 75%, Philipp Huber 15%, Gunter Hämmerle 10%, with co-founder Reinhard Gasser retired in 2014/2015.

Revenue model

1. Special transport projects (Spezialtransporte): Core revenue stream: project-based heavy and oversize road transport services quoted individually per load (dimensions, weight, route, permits). Each project is a one-off professional services engagement; recurring clients (e.g., construction firms, prefab manufacturers) drive repeat business but no formal subscription.
2. Crane & assembly (Kran & Montage): Revenue from truck-mounted crane lifting jobs (up to 92 m/to) and machine in-/out-feed plus assembly work using rigging gear and pressure distribution plates; sold per project alongside or independently of transport.
3. Warehouse logistics (Lagerlogistik): Storage revenue from short- and long-term warehousing (2,000 m² hall + 4,000 m² outdoor, expanded by additional 4,000 m² outdoor and 500 m² light-build hall in 2018) with forklift and crane transshipment on site.
4. Transport agency & permit services: Per Impressum, scope includes Transportagentur and Genehmigungsservice (permit service) and Transportbegleitung (escort services) — auxiliary fee-based services supporting the core transport business.

Product overview

Hämmerle Spezialtransporte GmbH operates a single integrated heavy-haulage business platform anchored on its Spezialtransporte core service, which delivers oversized and overweight transport solutions across Europe. Around this core it offers three specialized modules - Kran & Montage (crane and assembly work), Lagerlogistik (warehouse logistics with 6,500 m² indoor and 8,000 m² outdoor capacity), and Projekte (project-based contract transport) - each drawing on the company's extensive Fuhrpark of 2- to 4-axle tractors and specialized trailers (Megatrailer, Plateausattel, Maschinenauflieger, Telesattel, Jumbotrailer, Semitieflader, Innenlader, Tiefbett-Tieflader including the 105-tonne Chamäleon, and a Kranfahrzeug with 92 m/to lifting capacity).

• Hegmann Transit: German heavy-transport operator and BigMove partner with similar oversize road-transport capabilities. Comparable on fleet profile, cross-border project execution and BigMove cooperation membership.
• Colossus Logistics: German heavy-haul and special-transport specialist listed as a BigMove partner. Directly comparable as a fellow BigMove member firm executing cross-border oversize/overweight road transport with a similar specialty trailer fleet and project-based model.
• Wallek & Geser Schwertransporte: German BigMove partner for heavy-transport services. Comparable as a fellow medium-sized specialist executing cross-border oversize moves for construction and industrial clients.
• Gutmann Transporte: German BigMove partner providing heavy-transport services. Comparable as a fellow member firm with similar oversize load capability and cross-border project execution.

Broad incumbents

• Felbermayr Transport- und Hebetechnik: Larger Austrian/German heavy-haul and crane-hire group with a much broader fleet, branch network and lifting/heavy-lift capability. Comparable on core heavy-transport + crane offering but operates at significantly larger scale and as a full-service incumbent in the same DACH market.
• Universal Transport (Pohl Group): Large German heavy-haul specialist within the Pohl Group with pan-European oversize road-transport capability. Comparable in core service offering but operates at materially larger scale and broader geographic footprint than Hämmerle.

Regional players

• Emil Egger AG: Swiss heavy-haul and crane-hire specialist. Comparable on integrated transport + crane + warehousing service model and Alpine/mountain access expertise, but operates primarily in Switzerland rather than directly competing with Hämmerle in Austria.
