Safety and know-how

Chemical logistics

HOYER develops and implements solutions relating to the handling and the national and worldwide transport of liquid chemical products, irrespective of whether they are dangerous goods or harmless substances. The raw materials that we transport include isocyanates, polyols, ethanol, oils and dispersions. In addition to the automobile, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics industries, applications of chemical raw materials can also be found in almost all everyday articles. We also give top priority to flexibility, safety and sustainability when handling chemical products.

Integrated logistics solutions: Efficient and sustainable

HOYER not only carries out road transport and intermodal transport operations, but can also undertake complete control of the entire flow of goods and information from start to destination – both for high-value special products and for standardised bulk goods.

We developed the Smart Tank and the associated Smart Portal for efficient, digitally-assisted fleet management. Intelligently networked technologies offer unbeatable added value with regard to safety, quality, transparency, economic efficiency and sustainability – at all stages in the logistics chain. And apropos value added: With a large proportion of intermodal transport movements and the shift away from road and towards rail, HOYER actively helps to reduce CO2 emissions in logistics.

Our special equipment in use for you

For chemical shipments, we use a variety of modern tank containers in different sizes as well as special equipment and road tankers. With our Flexitanks, manufactured to European quality standards, we offer a tailor-made logistics solution with global availability that is ideal for small and medium quantities of non-dangerous chemical products.

In addition to standard tank containers, we also offer customised products tailored to your customers' individual needs and requirements, and provide special equipment.

  • Standard 20-foot tank containers with various transport volumes (with and without baffle walls)
  • Swap-body tank containers (7.15 m and 7.82 m standard size, various transport volumes with and without baffle walls)

  • Innovative insulation techniques for hot and cold insulation

  • Intelligent, environmentally friendly heating systems

  • Pump equipment and lined tank containers
