Open Load Transport — Çelikor Global Lojistik

What Is Open Load / Flatbed Transport?

Open load transport uses open-body vehicles (flatbed / open trailer / platform) with no roof or side walls. Long, tall, wide or heavy cargo that won't fit a closed box — machinery, steel structures, pipes, timber, marble, pallets and bulk — is loaded easily from the top or side with a forklift or crane.

Çelikor runs open-load operations out of Istanbul (Ambarlı, Büyükçekmece, Çatalca) and Kocaeli (Gebze); because we work integrated with our storage yards, loading, handling and transport proceed from a single point.

Open Load Transport Within Istanbul

For intra-Istanbul open load freight we allocate vehicles fast across Ambarlı and its surroundings (Avcılar, Beylikdüzü, Silivri, Çatalca) and the Gebze line on the Anatolian side. Same-day solutions for short-haul moves between sites, factories and ports.

Intercity Open Load Transport

For intercity open load transport across Türkiye we offer full (single-vehicle) or partial (LTL) options. Route planning, legal permits and vehicle tracking are managed by our operations team. For partial cargo see our partial load transport service.

Open Trailer and Platform Types

  • 13.60 open trailer: Standard long flatbed for palletized, packaged and long cargo.
  • Platform / semi-trailer: Heavy, flat-based loads.
  • Lowbed / semi-lowbed: Machinery and high-tonnage, out-of-gauge cargo.

Load Securing and Safety

Safety on open transport comes from correct securing. Your cargo is fastened to standard with lashing straps, chains, chocks and edge protectors, and covered with tarpaulin against weather. The whole operation is insured.

Why Çelikor?

Two storage yards (Çatalca/Büyükçekmece near Ambarlı, and Gebze), open load + container + handling under one roof, and an experienced team ensure your cargo moves safely and on time. Advantageous solutions for corporate clients with regular shipments.
