Industrial transportation specialized in ADR

Transportation and distribution of hazardous chemicals

We are an industrial transportation company specialized in dangerous goods commonly known as ADR (Agreement on Dangerous Goods by Road). Ask us for whatever you want and we will do everything necessary to make it possible.

It is of vital importance to us to ensure that all shipments we make are correctly managed in compliance with current legislation. We have a consolidated team of professionals that makes it possible to certify that your merchandise will travel in the best possible hands, arriving at its destination in optimal conditions. As an ADR transport agency in Spain, we cover the routes that connect with the main cities of the peninsula.

Efficient management of ADR shipments

We will manage your ADR shipment in the most efficient way, taking into account the following factors:

  • The hazardous product that we have to transport.
  • The UN number.
  • The type of packaging.
  • The needs of the recipient and the conditions of unloading.
  • The type of documentation and labeling required.
  • Restrictions on the transport of dangerous goods

Want to know more? Visit the post we have published in our blog to learn more about the different figures involved in ADR transport. We would also like to share with you the documents with the traffic restrictions in force for this year and the type of penalties that may be applied in case of non-compliance with the regulations.

We have our own security advisor and we also have two other qualified people linked to other departments in our team. Its task is to ensure compliance with ADR regulations, stowage regulations and all those aspects essential for a perfect transport. If you need to ship by air, we also have an air safety advisor (IATA).

Transfer of liquids

(Transfer Service)

We offer the possibility of transporting liquids and transferring them to a tank at your customer’s premises. We have more than 15 years of experience in this type of deliveries, with different clients and doing it in different ways.

This type of transfer can be very complex and can be done with different pumps or by gravity. Our personnel have the highest certification and training to perform these operations and minimize the risk of accidents.

Once we receive the order, we can coordinate the transfer directly with the responsible parties and/or recipients. BDtrans has all the documentation in order (both ours and our collaborators’) to be able to download the product to any recipient and access any type of installation in compliance with security and administration requirements. We have never had any incident when transferring liquids.

Safety comes first for us, so a control document is filled out before a transfer is carried out, in which the installations and tanks are checked. This verification is used to evaluate the existing safety levels and to determine whether or not the transfer can be carried out.

The types of transfers we carry out are:

  • Transfer of liquids by gravity.
  • Liquid transfer with compressor.
  • Liquid transfer by electric pump.
  • Liquid transfer with nitrogen

Groupage Service

We offer the service of groupage for customers who need to transport different quantities, grouping the goods of several and guaranteeing the same quality-price ratio. Within this service, we have three possibilities:
