How to Choose a Specialized Transport Vehicle: Dangerous Goods and Car Carriers in Moldova
The specialized cargo transport category covers two main use cases: the transport of dangerous goods (explosives, ADR materials), regulated by Law 803/2000 on the industrial safety of hazardous industrial facilities and the European ADR Agreement, and specialized vehicle transport via double-deck car-carrier trailers. Choosing correctly depends on the type of cargo transported, the required capacity, and the axle configuration.
1. Dangerous Goods Transport (ADR Class 1 — Explosives)
Trucks intended for transporting explosives and other ADR Class 1 dangerous goods require specific type-approval (EX/II or EX/III codes, as applicable) and comply with the requirements of Law 803/2000 on the safety of hazardous industrial facilities. Available configurations range from light 4×2 trucks with a 1–2 ton capacity to models with a 6–7 ton capacity for larger volumes.
2. Car Carriers — Double-Deck Trailers and Transporters
For transporting several vehicles at once, double-deck trailers offer capacities from 3 to 10 cars, depending on the axle configuration (2–3 rear axles) and the tractor unit used, compatible with most brands available in Tehnoport’s range.
3. Baseline Specifications by Use Case
| Vehicle Type | Capacity | Configuration |
|---|---|---|
| Explosives / dangerous goods transport | 1–7 tons | 4×2, ADR Class 1 type-approval |
| Car-carrier trailer | 3–10 vehicles | 2–3 rear axles, double deck |
| Bulk tanker (cement/grain) | up to 30,000 L | 8×4, carbon steel construction |
