Our assets make us forward-facing

There are many advantages to working with Capelle Transports. First of all, we are reassuringly financially stable, meaning customers can rely on us. Our financial security is validated by CreditSafe and Banque de France’s ratings. We are also lucky enough to have advanced computer tools at our disposal: a centralised operating system, on-board computing, apps and more. This technology makes it possible to optimise transport, monitor orders in real time and reduce costs. We even have Capelle’s Euroteam training centre , where drivers and in-house staff from the various agencies are recruited and trained. They attend both mandatory training and more job specific training. Finally, and above all, the company’s success is a testament to the skills and commitment of the people who work here.

The heart of Capelle Transports: abnormal load transport

Abnormal load transport is a core part of Capelle Transports’ DNA. It commonly involves tailor-made services, non-standard dimensions and operational constraints (sensitive or difficult to access sites), while having to comply with deadlines and security requirements. Since the 1970s, the company has continuously expanded its range of equipment to better meet the requirements of its 10,000 customers across industries such as energy, defence, sailing or construction and public works.

Conventional transport: he who can do more, can do less!

Conventional transport relates to goods that meet specific criteria of weight and size. Accordingly, it has always been part of Capelle’s story. Over the years, the company has kitted itself out with a wide range of equipment to meet conventional transport requirements. Trailers, flatbed, trailer carriers, UVs, LGVs, and more: Capelle Transports can handle all types of goods. These services are of interest, among others, to businesses in the sectors of building and public works, agricultural machinery, nuclear, energy production, railways, and more.

Thanks to our agencies spread throughout France and subsidiaries across Europe, we can operate on local, regional, national and international levels.
