Years Served
ATP
Approved
ADR
Certified
GlobalTransBV started in Amsterdam in 2019. We handle road transport, air freight, sea freight, rail cargo, warehousing, and special services for businesses across the Netherlands and Europe.
Our special services grew out of real failures we kept seeing. Dangerous goods were turned back at the border because of missing ADR paperwork. Pharmaceutical cargo arrived out of temperature because a driver switched off the reefer unit overnight. Oversized machinery was held at the Westpoort gate because the permit covered the wrong route.
We built the right systems to prevent every one of those situations. ADR certified. ATP approved. RDW permit management in-house.
Our Special Services in Amsterdam
Dangerous Goods Transport Amsterdam
Our ADR-certified drivers carry correct documentation on every run. Vehicles display Kemler code placards as required under ADR. We separate incompatible substances, follow designated dangerous goods routes set by Dutch municipalities, and stay fully within the framework of the Human Environment and Transport Inspectorate (ILT).
We move flammable liquids, toxic substances, corrosives, compressed gases, and oxidising agents. From Westpoort estates along the Haarlemmerweg to chemical producers in Rotterdam’s Botlek area, we get it there safely.
Temperature Controlled Transport Amsterdam
We run ATP-certified reefer vehicles on every cold chain route. Chilled cargo travels between 0 and 8 degrees. Frozen goods move at minus 18 and below. Ambient-controlled shipments stay under 25 degrees, which suits most pharmaceutical finished goods. Continuous temperature logging runs throughout every journey.
You get the data record with your delivery confirmation. Collections run from pharma manufacturers along the A4 Schiphol corridor and food producers near Aalsmeer on the N201.
Oversized Transport Amsterdam
Any load pushing a vehicle beyond 2.55 metres wide, 4 metres high, or 18.75 metres long needs an RDW dispensation permit before it moves. We handle the full application, run the route survey, check for low bridges and weight-restricted roads, and arrange pilot vehicle escorts where required. We move industrial machinery, construction steelwork, prefabricated modules, and wind energy components.
Businesses between Westpoort, Sloterdijk, and the Schiphol Trade Park on the A4 use us for this regularly.

How Our Special Services Process Works
Step 1: Tell Us What You Have.
Give us the cargo type, UN number for dangerous goods, temperature requirements, or load dimensions. The more detail upfront, the faster we respond.
Step 2: Compliance Check and Planning.
We check the ADR class and segregation rules for hazardous goods. For temperature cargo, we confirm the vehicle spec and route. For oversized loads, we run dimensions against RDW standards and identify permit needs.
Step 3: Documentation and Permits
We prepare ADR transport documents and Kemler paperwork. We apply for RDW dispensation permits. We confirm ATP vehicle certification for cold chain runs.
Step 4: Collection and Transport.
Your cargo moves with the right vehicle, the right driver, and all paperwork in place. Temperature logging runs throughout cold chain shipments. Pilot escorts travel with oversized loads where required.
Step 5: Delivery and Records.
We deliver and send you the full documentation pack. Temperature log for cold chain. Signed transport document for dangerous goods. Completed permit record for oversized loads.
Special Services Across Amsterdam and the Netherlands
GlobalTransBV operates from near Schiphol Trade Park in Haarlemmermeer, close to the A4 junction connecting Schiphol to Rotterdam and The Hague. We collect dangerous goods from chemical producers in Westpoort, Sloterdijk I and II, and the De Heining industrial zone off the Nieuwe Hemweg. Cold chain collections run from pharmaceutical manufacturers along the A4 and food producers near Aalsmeer on the N201.
For oversized transport, regular routes run south along the A10 and A2 toward Utrecht and Eindhoven, and west via the A4 toward The Hague and Rotterdam. We also move oversized cargo from Rotterdam’s Botlek area and Maasvlakte port zone across the Netherlands and into Belgium and Germany.
We serve Haarlem, Zaandam, Almere, Amstelveen, Hoofddorp, and businesses across North Holland and South Holland. If your cargo is in the Netherlands, we will reach it.
Transparent Pricing for Special Services
Dangerous goods shipments carry an ADR surcharge covering compliance administration and certified driver costs. Temperature-controlled transport is priced by vehicle type, route, and temperature specification. Oversized transport pricing covers the RDW permit application, route survey, and escort vehicles where required.
According to Business.gov.nl, RDW oversized transport permit processing takes two to five working days for standard dimensions. We factor that into your departure schedule from day one.
Every quote is fully itemised before you confirm. Nothing appears on your invoice that was not in the original breakdown.
