Dangerous Goods Transport from Kesselsdorf near Dresden
Spedition Hanitzsch carries out dangerous goods transports nationally and across Europe from its site in Kesselsdorf near Dresden. Three things ensure that dangerous goods are in safe hands there: the drivers are authorised to handle dangerous goods, the vehicles carry the legally required dangerous-goods equipment, and an in-house dangerous goods safety adviser ensures compliance with the regulations. Dangerous goods transport is part of the transport logistics portfolio, which also covers full and part loads, daily scheduled services to Hamburg, Berlin and Frankfurt am Main, and regional distribution in Saxony, South Brandenburg and parts of Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia.

What requirements does Spedition Hanitzsch meet for dangerous goods transport?
At Hanitzsch, three layers of safety work together for dangerous goods transport. First, the drivers: they are authorised to handle dangerous goods and receive regular modular training at the company's own training centre. Second, the vehicles: they carry the legally required dangerous-goods equipment. Third, the organisation: an in-house dangerous goods safety adviser ensures that the regulations are observed at acceptance, during carriage and at handover. Added to this is the infrastructure at the Kesselsdorf site, where an in-house workshop keeps the fleet ready for use, a certified wash bay is available and the truck parking spaces are protected by security guards. The company has been family-run since 1920 and employs more than 200 people. Further details on dangerous goods classes and documentation for your specific transport are available from the dispatch team on +49 35204 7803-0 or info@spedition-hanitzsch.de.
Does Hanitzsch transport lithium-ion batteries as dangerous goods?
Yes. Lithium-ion batteries and battery management systems are classified as dangerous goods under international transport law because they pose a fire risk. Spedition Hanitzsch has specialised in these goods and operates a logistics centre in Kesselsdorf that meets the requirements for handling and storing lithium-ion batteries. Transport is carried out with vehicles that carry the required dangerous-goods equipment and drivers who are authorised to handle dangerous goods. Around the transport itself, Hanitzsch offers value added services such as quality checks, repacking, picking, sequencing, pre-assembly, container stuffing and coordination of disposal. For battery logistics, the warehouse team on +49 35204 7803-262 or lager@spedition-hanitzsch.de is the right contact; for pure transport enquiries, the dispatch team on +49 35204 7803-0. All services are described in detail on the battery logistics page.
In which regions does Hanitzsch carry dangerous goods?
Dangerous goods transport is part of the Hanitzsch transport logistics portfolio, which is designed for national and Europe-wide operations. In load traffic, the company offers full and part loads, i.e. FTL and LTL, with daily scheduled services to Hamburg, Berlin, Frankfurt am Main and many other cities. Scheduled services cover groupage and system traffic every day between Dresden and locations throughout Germany and Europe. In regional distribution, the proximity to the state capital Dresden and the direct motorway access enable a comprehensive distribution network for Saxony, South Brandenburg and parts of Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia; the Greater Dresden area can be reached within 30 minutes. Whether a specific dangerous good can be carried on a particular route depends on the goods, the quantity and the destination. This check is carried out by the dispatch team, available on +49 35204 7803-0 or info@spedition-hanitzsch.de.
