To improve operational safety and security, we have expanded our fleet of tractor units in 2000/2001, and all our trucks are now equipped with on-board computers.
They are operated by excellently trained drivers, who are experts in all types of standard road transportation equipment, including pre- and post-transportation operations.

All our drivers are ADR certified and have several years of experience in international tank transport. Our trucks and container chassis are standardly equipped with built-in compressors and liquid hoses.
Haesaerts Intermodal has invested heavily in the highest level of tank transportation technology, so as to conform to all applicable European standards and to be able to deliver safely at any destination.
This includes our “Flow Management Tool”, which consists of an IT-based stock and container management database, in combination with a GPS satellite container-tracking and tracing system.
