Transportbedrijf Rene Lammers

What Transportbedrijf Rene Lammers does

Transportbedrijf Rene Lammers is a Dutch family-owned heavy transport and logistics company headquartered in Vlijmen, Netherlands, founded in 1977. The company specializes in crane-equipped heavy haulage services, operating a fleet of truck-mounted cranes with capacities ranging from 20 to 85 ton meters (including JIB extensions up to 32 meters), extendable semi low-loaders, Kooi-aap (cage trucks) with Wipkar loading systems, and sliding tarp containers with sliding roofs for weather-protected transport. It holds long-term permits for exceptional dimensions and weights, a regulated capability that constrains competition.

The company's customer base is concentrated in three vertical segments: rail construction contractors (transport of rail cranes, rail machines, and rail-related equipment), wood and building materials merchants (daily transport of wood and panel materials kept dry via Kooi-aap and sliding tarp containers), and water supply infrastructure companies (transport of materials for drinking water projects). Services are contracted directly with Dutch business clients on a project or contract basis, with the company additionally offering customer planning services that relieve clients of self-scheduling logistics. The firm is ISO 9001:2015, VCA*2017/6.0, and Veiligheidsladder trede 3 certified, and has begun electrifying portions of its fleet (electric Kooi-apen and first electric box truck, June/July 2024).

Revenue is generated through project-based transaction fees on transport contracts. The company employs approximately 17 staff including 12-13 drivers, four directors/board members (with three Lammers family members in leadership), and one office staff member. Following founder René Lammers' death in July 2011, his son Rens Lammers assumed directorial duties while Harriëtte van Oers (director since 1991) continues as co-director, maintaining family ownership and operational continuity for over 30 years. The business operates exclusively in the Netherlands with no public funding, M&A activity, or external investor participation disclosed.
