Large Volume Transportation for Companies
Transvolando offers dedicated high volume transportation solutions for companies that send bulky but light merchandise between Spain, the United Kingdom and the rest of Europe. We combine mega-trailers (3 m interior height, ~100 m³) and double-deck platforms (~120 effective m³, 52 euro pallets) to maximize cubic capacity and move furniture, packaging, automotive components and consumer goods at the most competitive rate per cubic meter.
The choice between mega-trailer and double deck depends on the type of cargo: the mega-trailer is ideal for tall, non-stackable pieces (prefabricated structures, tall furniture, tall machines), while the double deck provides the greatest economic savings for uniform stackable pallets — empty packaging, cardboard appliances, textile clothing, decorations and Christmas products. The difference in rate per m³ between double decker and standard tautliner can reach 35–40% savings, which on a full load of 120 m³ means saving between €1,200 and €1,800 per trip.
We also operate with hydraulic moving floor (walking floor) for light bulk (pellets, briquettes, shavings, baled cotton), and with extendable vehicles for long pieces not suitable for mega or double deckers. Our loading supervisors use 3D optimization software (Cargo-Planner, ProTrans) to combine heterogeneous cargo — modular stands, sub-racks, partially boxed equipment — with conventional pallets in the same trip, raising the fill ratio from 78% to the typical 92%. Median conventional FTL Spain–United Kingdom: €3,221 (range €2,595–4,360).
Large volume and bulky cargo transportation company
What is Large Volume Transportation?
It is a logistics service to move merchandise that, due to its size or volume, does not fit into a standard operation. It usually requires prior planning, choosing the appropriate vehicle (according to linear meters, dimensions and access), and coordination of loading/unloading to avoid incidents.
It is the ideal solution for companies that transport equipment, structures or bulky merchandise and need security, control and compliance with deadlines without surprises.
Our best advice from our experience is to consolidate the volume and say quickly between groupage and full load. If it exceeds 10–13 linear meters, the full load usually compensates for control and fewer incidents. Standardize measurements/weights, loading by delivery order, and plan access/schedules in advance.

Frequently Asked Questions About Large Volume Transportation
How is a mega-trailer different from a double-decker rig?
Comparison between the two types of semi-trailer:
- Interior height: mega-trailer 3.0 m; double floor 2 levels × 1.4–1.5 m each
- ground surface: 13.6 m × 2.48 m in both, but the double floor on 2 levels
- Volume: ~100 m³ mega; ~120 effective m³ double floor
- European pallets: 33 mega; 52 double deck
- Hydraulic floor: the double floor is integrated (load-bed system); the mega no
- best for: mega for tall non-stackable pieces; double deck for stackable cardboard loads
Choose Mega-trailer for tall non-stackable pieces; choose double floor for pallets of uniform height that support secure stacking.
How much can I save on double-decker transportation?
Rates per cubic meter Spain–United Kingdom (median data 2026):
- Standard Tautliner 13.6 m single: €28–€36 per m³
- Simple mega-trailer: €24–€32 per m³ (12% savings)
- Double floor: €18–€24 per m³ (savings 35–40%)
For a full load of 120 m³ double deck, the savings amounts to approximately €1,200–€1,800 per trip vs. simple tautliner. With 50 annual trips, estimated savings: €60,000–€90,000.
Are there height restrictions on the British road network for double deckers above 4 metres?
Yes. UK road network standards:
- Maximum vehicle height: 4.95m on most roads
- Bridges with variable limitation: 4.4m in part of central London, certain passes in the Pennines and Scottish routes
- M25 fully accessible at 4.95 m
Double-decker routes are previously planned through our route planning system, avoiding all known limitations. Drivers receive a map in the cabin with the restrictions assigned to the route.
Can you transport furniture, empty packaging or fashion mannequins in mega-trailer?
Yes. Mega-trailers are especially competitive for light and bulky merchandise:
- Disassembled IKEA-type furniture and parts-kit
- Empty plastic boxes and containers
- Retail exhibition furniture and POS material
- Fashion mannequins and visual merchandising displays
- EPE/EPS foam packaging
- Seasonal product (Christmas, Easter decoration)
The advantage in rate per m³ scales with the volumetric relationship — the lighter the load, the greater the savings per shipment compared to pricing by weight.
How does load optimization for asymmetric merchandise work?
Our loading supervisors use 3D optimization software (Cargo-Planner, ProTrans) to model the placement of irregular packages — modular stands, pre-assembled sub-frames, partially boxed equipment — and combine them with conventional pallets on the same semi-trailer.
Typical optimization results:
- The filling ratio goes from 78% to 92% in mixed loads
- Charging time drops from 90 to 60 minutes
- Damage incidents fall by 40% compared to improvised loading
What is the rate per m³ calculator and when should it be used?
The rate per m³ calculator compares the cost per cubic meter between configurations to help you choose the most economical solution for your specific load.
It is convenient to use it when:
- Its load density is below 200 kg/m³ (light and bulky goods)
- Send more than 4 semi-trailers per month on the same route
- You can consolidate several small shipments into one mega-trailer or double decker
