Flower transport

Flower transport planned around your products and delivery.

Transporting flowers and plants requires clear product specifications and coordinated delivery arrangements. OKT Logistics assesses your route, load space, packaging and required temperature. Based in Escharen, we review enquiries within the Netherlands and to Germany, Belgium and France.

What is flower transport?

Flower transport moves cut flowers, bouquets and other floricultural products between growers, traders and receiving locations. Product type, packaging and agreed delivery conditions determine how the shipment should be prepared. Plant transport also requires product-specific arrangements: different consignments do not necessarily share the same requirements.

For growers, wholesalers and business receivers

Have flowers or plants ready for dispatch? Tell us what you are shipping and which arrangements apply at collection and delivery. One-off loads, recurring requirements and deliveries with a strict receiving window each need an individual assessment. Our proposal is based on your actual consignment. An enquiry is not a confirmed transport order.

Preparing flowers and plants for transport

Temperature based on your product specification

Provide the required transport temperature and any permitted variation. There is no universal setting for every flower and plant. Ask the person responsible for the product to specify the conditions and discuss special requirements before booking. Setting the refrigeration unit does not replace appropriate preparation of the goods.

Packaging, loading and protection

Specify boxes, pallets or trolleys, including overall dimensions, height, weight and stackability. Describe fragile parts and securing requirements. For trolleys or returnable equipment, compatibility with the available vehicle and return arrangements must be agreed in advance.

Collection and receiving windows

Send complete addresses, contact people and requested loading and unloading times. Include booking procedures, location numbers and receiving appointments. Report changes promptly so planning can be reviewed. State who the driver should contact on arrival.

Flower transport in the Netherlands and across borders

OKT Logistics BV is based in Escharen, North Brabant. We assess transport enquiries within the Netherlands and on routes to Germany, Belgium and France. For international flower transport, provide exact addresses, receiving windows and consignee contact details. A country or region alone is not enough to assess availability or price. Specific routes and departure times are confirmed only after discussion.

Full truckload or a part load of flowers?

Quantity and delivery requirements help determine the transport format. For a full load, we assess space, weight and route. Part loads or groupage are possible only where routes, schedules and product conditions are compatible with other consignments. State restrictions on mixed loading explicitly. Suitability and availability are assessed individually; no departure or combined load is promised before agreement.

Information needed for an accurate quotation

A complete enquiry helps operations assess the required transport. Please send:

  • Your company name and business contact details.
  • Exact collection and delivery addresses, countries and site contacts.
  • Requested date, loading and unloading windows and booking references.
  • Flower or plant varieties and any handling instructions.
  • Required temperature and other product conditions.
  • Number of load units, overall dimensions, height and gross weight.
  • Packaging, stackability and trolley or returnable equipment arrangements.
  • Access, loading, unloading and accompanying document requirements.

Pricing depends on the route, required space, time windows and product conditions. We therefore assess the actual consignment rather than publish a general price per kilometre. Email aanvraag@okttrans.nl or call +31 412 250 014 to discuss your enquiry.

Flower transport questions

What temperature do flowers need during transport?

The requirement depends on the flower or plant and its product specification. Provide the required temperature in advance. Transport conditions are agreed before an order is confirmed.

Can I request plant transport as well?

Yes. Specify the plants, packaging, dimensions and temperature requirements. Suitability and availability are assessed for each consignment.

Can flowers be transported on trolleys?

State the trolley type, dimensions, height and quantity. We assess compatibility with the available vehicle. Loading, securing and any return arrangements must be agreed beforehand.

Is international flower transport available?

We assess enquiries between the Netherlands and Germany, Belgium or France. Provide the exact route, product conditions and collection and delivery windows. Acceptance depends on the agreed arrangements and availability.

What determines the price of flower transport?

A proposal requires the route, dates, time windows, quantity, dimensions, weight and product conditions. Include any special loading or unloading arrangements. A quote request is not a booking.
