Press truck transport for foam blocks across Europe

At Transport Desmet-Naert, we specialise in press lorry transport for foam blocks. We distribute across Europe, for multiple clients.

With our modern press trucks, we help foam producers, mattress manufacturers, insulation suppliers and other industrial companies that move large volumes of lightweight, compressible products more efficiently.

Efficient press lorry transport, foam transport and high-volume logistics for bulky lightweight goods

For over 85 years, we have built long-term relationships with manufacturers and logistics partners who need reliability, capacity and personal follow-up. Our customers count on us for foam transport, high-volume foam transport and volume transport for foam blocks where standard trailers are no longer the most efficient solution.

With our specialised press lorries, also known as press trucks, we transport up to 300 m³ of gross product per trip. This makes it possible to reduce the number of journeys, improve planning reliability and lower the transport cost per cubic metre.

Fast, efficient and handled with the care our customers have come to expect from Desmet-Naert.

What is a press truck or press lorry?

A press truck or press lorry is a specialised semi-trailer designed for the transport of bulky, lightweight and compressible goods. It is mainly used for compressed foam block transport, where large foam blocks need to be stacked, compressed and transported in a controlled way.

The vehicle is equipped with a lifting superstructure that creates additional loading height. This allows foam blocks or similar volume goods to be loaded efficiently before they are compressed for transport.

Instead of transporting air, a press truck makes better use of the available loading volume. For logistics managers, this directly improves transport efficiency, fleet utilisation and cost per transported cubic metre.

That is why press truck transport is often the preferred solution for professional foam transport, high-volume foam transport and specialised foam logistics across Europe.

Which products are suitable for press truck transport?

Press trucks are designed for goods that are bulky, lightweight and compressible. Typical applications include:

polyether foam blocks for mattresses and seating;
foam blocks for furniture production;
foam for packaging applications;
insulation foam and comfort layers;
large-volume blocks that cannot be stacked efficiently in a standard trailer;
semi-finished foam products;
test batches and prototype batches of foam products.

Our customers mainly use this type of transport when stable volumes, recurring flows and predictable delivery schedules are important for their production planning.

For manufacturers, volume transport for foam blocks is not just a transport solution. It is a way to align production, warehousing and outbound logistics more efficiently.

Specialised foam logistics for European manufacturers

Desmet-Naert provides specialised foam logistics for manufacturers that need more than standard road transport. Foam blocks require specific handling, controlled compression and clear communication between production, loading, transport and unloading.

With our experience in compressed foam block transport, we understand the operational reality behind the product. The loading method, compression sequence, settling time and delivery planning all influence the efficiency of the logistics chain.

For logistics managers, this means fewer surprises, more predictable capacity and a transport partner who understands the technical requirements of foam transport.

European press truck transport from Belgium

Desmet-Naert provides press truck transport for foam blocks across Europe. From our base in Belgium, we organise international press lorry transport to several European markets.

We operate daily and weekly routes in:

Belgium;
The Netherlands;
France;
Germany;
Luxembourg;
and many other European destinations on occasion.

For many of our partners, we provide scheduled high-volume foam transport. This makes deliveries more predictable and helps align transport with production planning, warehouse capacity and customer demand.

Because press truck transport is a specialised niche, customers need more than capacity alone. They need a transport partner who understands the product, the loading method, the timing and the operational impact.

That is where Desmet-Naert makes the difference.
