Outsource your Mobile home transport in 3 steps
Mobile home transport with a low loader
Mobile home transport is mostly done with a flatbed trailer. This is an extra-low semi-trailer that is special for large and heavy cargo. This allows the mobile home to be transported by road in one piece . The advantage of the flatbed trailer is that the mobile home does not protrude too far at the top.
If the mobile home is very large, sometimes special waivers are needed that belong to special transportation. This is the "paperwork" required for such outsized shipments. A specialized transportation company can take care of all this for you.
Chalet or mobile home disassembly and assembly
Transporting a caravan or chalet is often more than just loading, driving and unloading. Regularly, clients also request additional services. A specialized transporter is able to arrange the entire process, often together with one or more technical people. It may happen that a transporter does not arrange all of this itself but again outsources part of the service to a partner. Make sure this is clear from the beginning and that the main transport company is responsible for the entire agreed-upon job.
The hauling company can help place and set up the mobile home or chalet. The mobile home will then be placed on the lot and leveled. Sometimes this requires additional materials. Consult whether you need to provide these yourself or if the transport company will also help with this.
At the very least, the most common additional jobs include disconnecting and reconnecting water, electricity and sewer. If the caravan is connected to the water supply, this will also have to be disconnected and reconnected at destination. If the customer has not done this themselves, a transport company can arrange for the vehicle to be emptied on the inside. Often a mobile home or chalet is also protected from rainwater on the inside. This often needs to be removed and reattached at destination. The same is true for disconnecting and resealing the roof. It depends on the type of caravan exactly what needs to be done.
Transportation can also be a good time to take another look at the caravan and clean it properly. Consult with the transporter to make room for this.

Examples of Mobile home transport
Example: Mobile home 10 meters long, 3.20 meters wide from the Netherlands to Spain
There are several things to consider if you want to have a 3.2-meter-wide chalet transported from the Netherlands to Spain. Below are a number of important points of attention:
First, the rules and legislation. Notice: Because of the width of 3.20 meters, you are not allowed to drive on the highway in France. This will have to be via the route national. In addition, an escort vehicle is required in France and Spain. This makes it a considerably more expensive transport. You can get information about this from the transporter or from the government of both countries. In addition, you should also take into account the weight of the chalet to avoid overloading during transport.
Transporter: Choose an experienced and reliable transporter who is familiar with transporting chalets. For example, ask about permits, references and experiences of other customers. It is also important to make good arrangements regarding delivery time, costs and insurance.
Insurance: Make sure the chalet is properly insured during transport. This can be done through the carrier or through separate insurance, for example. Check in advance which risks are covered and which are not.
Preparation: Make sure the chalet is well prepared for transport. For example, the chalet must be well packed to avoid damage and all loose parts must be properly secured. In addition, you must also take into account the loading and unloading time and any customs formalities at border crossings.
By taking the above points into account, you can properly prepare and carry out the transportation of a chalet from the Netherlands to Spain.
The total cost would come out to about 9900 euros excluding VAT.
