Last week, we had the honour of officially handing over five mobile loading ramps to the Dutch Ministry of Defence. These innovative ramps were developed by the Van der Vlist team in close collaboration with Defence officials.

Van der Vlist has been a trusted logistics partner to the Dutch Ministry of Defence for over 40 years. This long-standing partnership enables us to develop solutions that are perfectly aligned with the operational needs of our client. In emergency situations, it is essential to mobilise quickly without being dependent on external parties. Efficiency is key. That’s why we set out to find a smart and practical solution, together with the Ministry of Defence.

These mobile loading ramps, specifically designed and manufactured by our Van der Vlist team, make it possible to easily load and unload military equipment onto and off trains, anywhere. They can also be used as loading ramps for trucks and trailers at locations without a loading dock. Thanks to their modular design, the ramps are not only multifunctional but also easy to transport. They can be disassembled into separate parts for transport and quickly assembled on-site, offering maximum flexibility in the field.

With this logistics solution, Van der Vlist actively contributes to fast and efficient mobilisation in situations of threat, disaster, or crisis.
