What Numan Transport does

Numan Transport B.V. is a Dutch specialist transport and heavy-lifting operator founded in 1991 by Freek Numan and headquartered in Numansdorp between Rotterdam, Moerdijk and Antwerp. Since December 2024 it has operated as a subsidiary of Gerritsen Group B.V., retaining its own brand, management team and customer relationships while benefiting from the parent's broader logistics ecosystem.

The company's core proposition is the combination of heavy lifting and road transport in a single integrated operation, executed with a specialised fleet that includes four Scania-powered HMF crane trucks (60TM, 80TM, 85TM and 95TM, with reach up to 34 metres), Broshuis low-loaders and semi low-loaders (30cm ultra-low deck, extendable to 12.2m), Krone curtainsider trailers, and a Moffett truck-mounted forklift for self-sufficient loading and unloading. Service lines span international road transport, industrial relocations (including dismantling and re-installation of machinery, production lines and entire departments), project logistics, secure storage and handling, and a set of specialised moves such as boat lifting and transport, dormer window placement, hot tub and pool installation, and roof covering logistics.

Commercially, Numan operates a project-based, quote-driven professional services model with pricing tied to dimensions, weight, distance, access conditions, required equipment, permits and timing. Sales run through direct enterprise engagement led by named specialists (Rens Baas for sales/projects, Inge Korbijn for international sales, Guy Winde and Rob van der Ree for planning), targeting industrial, construction, maritime, chemical and private-customer segments across the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and wider Europe. Customers cited publicly include Amtra Material Handling Systems, Bosman, HVdL and Complete Marine Freight, alongside international boat transport and freight forwarding accounts in Southern Europe and the Middle East.
