Wimmer Machine Transport

What Wimmer Machine Transport does

Wimmer Maschinentransporte GmbH is a German-based, internationally operating full-service logistics provider focused on three interconnected business areas: industrial assembly (Montagen), special and heavy-duty transport (Transporte) via road, water, and rail, and heavy-cargo storage (Schwergutlager). The company serves industrial manufacturing, plant and mechanical engineering, and energy-sector customers requiring the relocation, installation, or temporary storage of oversized and overweight equipment such as power-plant components, refinery modules, and industrial machinery. Its operations are built around a specialized capital-intensive fleet that includes self-propelled modular transporters (SPMTs), heavy load rollers (Panzerrollen), hydraulic lifting frames, air-cushion systems, and mobile cranes, supported by approximately 20,000 square meters of indoor and outdoor storage at its Sulzemoos and Kissing facilities.

The company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Austria's Felbermayr Holding GmbH, part of the Felbermayr Group, and operates four German offices (Sulzemoos headquarters, Dresden, Leipzig, and Heilbronn/Seckach) while executing cross-border projects through group coordination, including a 2025 Bavaria gas power plant relocation with Felbermayr-Niederlassung and a 2025 Augsburg-to-Melilla special transport. Wimmer holds ISO 9001:2015 quality management certification and SCCP:2011 safety certification relevant to petrochemical and refinery work, and operates under the Felbermayr Group governance structure.

The business model is enterprise field sales, with project-specific quotations and hourly/daily billing for transport and crane services; equipment rental for work platforms and forklifts is offered with or without operating personnel. Permits, police escorts, and other regulatory costs are passed through to the customer. All revenue streams are classified as professional services, with no disclosed subscription, platform, or recurring-revenue component. Wimmer markets via a corporate website, an active Facebook/LinkedIn/Instagram presence, the long-running Felbermayr INFORMER customer magazine (since 2007), and project-driven PR around flagship industrial relocations.

• Felbermayr Transport- und Hebetechnik GmbH: Sibling subsidiary under Felbermayr Holding GmbH providing heavy transport, lifting, and crane services across Austria and Germany. Operates overlapping SPMT, heavy-lift, and crane capabilities and frequently collaborates with Wimmer on cross-border projects.

• Schmidbauer GmbH & Co. KG: German specialist in heavy transport, crane services, and industrial assembly headquartered in southern Germany. Closest regional DIRECT_PEER given overlapping service portfolio (Montagen, Transporte, Kranarbeiten) and German customer base.
• Combi-Lift GmbH: German provider of heavy and special transport plus crane services with a multi-location footprint. Directly comparable on service mix (Schwertransport, Kranarbeiten, Montage) and continental European customer base.

Broad incumbents

• Liebherr-International AG: Swiss/German family-owned manufacturer of mobile cranes, crawler cranes, and heavy transport equipment. Competes indirectly as a supplier of equipment and broader heavy-lift rental services, but is far larger and not a project-services specialist like Wimmer.
• Terex Corporation: US-listed manufacturer of cranes (Demag, Genie) and material handling equipment. Provides the equipment fleet that Wimmer and its peers operate, but does not run project-based specialized transport services.

Regional players

• Hüffermann Transportservice GmbH: Northern German heavy haul and crane company focused on wind energy, oversized industrial cargo, and factory moves. Comparable offering but concentrated in Niedersachsen/Schleswig-Holstein, with partial overlap with Wimmer's industrial customer base.
• Kran Saller GmbH: Austrian crane and heavy transport specialist focused on the DACH region. Comparable in service profile but predominantly Austrian in geographic footprint, with limited overlap with Wimmer's German-centric base.
