Classic car transportation – safe solutions for historic vehicles

Transporting classic cars poses very special challenges, as they are not just vehicles, but valuable witnesses to automotive history. Whether lovingly restored or preserved true to the original – historic vehicles require the highest level of safety and care during classic car transportation. Professional providers such as Wincom Logistik offer tailor-made solutions, ranging from closed classic car transport to specialized processes. This ensures that every vehicle arrives in pristine condition.

Closed classic car transportation: Advantages for valuable vehicles

Classic car transportation offers decisive advantages over open transportation methods. As classic cars are often collector’s items with high sentimental and financial value, protection from external influences is essential. Rain, snow, dirt or even prying eyes can damage the sensitive bodywork and paintwork. Closed classic car transportation ensures that the vehicle is protected:

• Is completely protected from the weather;
• is transported discreetly and safely;
• there is no danger from stone chips or environmental influences;
• and that only trained specialists have access.

For owners of exclusive models such as Ferrari, Porsche or historic pre-war cars, closed classic car transportation is the first choice.

Closed classic car transportation – technology and protection

The enclosed transports used have special superstructures that not only protect vehicles from external influences, but also ensure maximum stability. Hydraulic lift systems enable gentle loading, while lashing points and protective mats ensure that the vehicles are securely fastened. Thanks to modern technology, classic car transportation is closed:

• Non-slip loading ramps;
• low-vibration running gear;
• and GPS tracking for seamless monitoring of the transport.

This means that even the most valuable classics can be moved without risk – whether over short distances, to exhibitions or during international transfers.

Classic car transportation – differences to standard solutions

Classic car transportation differs significantly from conventional vehicle transporters. While standard solutions are usually designed for several vehicles and are often transported open, specialized classic car transporters offer a solution tailored to historic vehicles. The most important special features include

• Individual loading areas. Instead of tight collective transports, there is sufficient space for one or two vehicles, so that there is no risk of damage from neighboring vehicles.
• Gentle securing systems. Special lashing points, wheel claws and protective pads ensure that the vehicle is firmly but gently secured – without damaging the paintwork or bodywork.
• Closed design. Transportation takes place in a closed body that reliably protects the classic car transporter from the weather, dust, stone chips and prying eyes.
• Specialist staff. Our trained staff are familiar with the special requirements of classic vehicles – from loading and load securing to handling sensitive materials such as chrome or leather.
• Insurance cover at premium level. Since classic car transporters often have a high sentimental and material value, specialized transporters are equipped with extended insurance benefits that offer maximum security in the event of damage.

In addition, many classic car transporters have hydraulic lifts that enable particularly gentle loading and unloading without jeopardizing the vehicle’s ground clearance. GPS tracking and safety technology guarantee transparency and control over the transport at all times.

This ensures that every classic car transporter is not just moved from A to B, but treated like a work of art on wheels – discreetly, safely and with the utmost respect for its historical significance.

Transportation of historic vehicles – special requirements

Transporting historic vehicles requires more than just technology – it’s about expertise, sensitivity and experience. Vintage cars are often more sensitive than modern vehicles:

• Paint and chrome react sensitively to the weather;
• rare spare parts are rarely available;’
• and some of the vehicles have a high collector’s value.

Therefore, transportation must be planned individually. From selecting a suitable route to coordinating with event organizers or museums – every detail plays a role. A specialist provider also ensures that all legal regulations, such as customs and transport permits, are complied with.
