Express transport of spare parts for the agricultural industry
HK ensures the availability of your agricultural equipment
Agriculture uses sophisticated equipment which, depending on the season, is put to the test and may have to operate 24 hours a day, especially at harvest time. That's why it's essential for the farmer, the manufacturer and the distributor to be able to count on a reliable and responsive express delivery service.
There are "off-the-shelf" solutions on the market which require the implementation of organized rounds and flows. This can mean a few days' downtime for the combine harvester or other agricultural equipment, which is a risky gamble, especially during the high season.
Whether it's a combine harvester, a plough, a tractor or simply a trailer, farm machinery must be able to be used and, if necessary, repaired without delay.
To ensure rapid machine availability, HK is able to transport parts in record time, whether from a central stock for France, the European Union and beyond. These spare parts flows can also be managed directly from a production site, or even from abroad.
HK is the partner of choice for all customers transporting agricultural spare parts:
- Farmers, agricultural operators and end-users, who will benefit from faster delivery of spare parts when needed.
- Dealers and distributors, in the event that the "classic" distribution scheme is not sufficient, or in the event of a shortage in an intermediate stock of a specific part that needs to be urgently sourced, even from several hundred kilometers away.
- Manufacturers of agricultural equipment, who demand maximum customer satisfaction and provide express or urgent transport services for their customers. Whether they're located just a few kilometers from their warehouse or on the other side of France, in Belgium, Germany, Poland, Russia, Ukraine, Turkey... HK is able to provide emergency transport services.
Urgent transport for manufacturers or maintenance departments
Carrier responsiveness: provide a rapid solution in the event of a breakdown
In the world of industry, be itaeronautics, food processing or automotive, it's essential that the equipment that keeps production sites running is always operational.
This is why many maintenance departments at large production sites call on HK Courses. HK is able to provide urgent, reliable and secure transport of parts, reducing to an absolute minimum the time needed to repair and restart equipment and machinery.
Express transfer and repatriation of maintenance parts
Reliable, safe transport of maintenance parts is essential to keep plants running smoothly. This calls for a secure means of transport capable of handling defective parts without further damage.
Our teams manage the delivery of standard and non-standard parts requiring special attention (engines, bearings, cylinder heads, air-conditioning accessories). Transport of parts on trolleys, off standard pallets, fragile products... Everything is done to avoid further deterioration of the spare part and to ensure its repatriation in the best possible conditions. Our drivers adapt their driving to the type of part to be transported, and take the fastest route according to real-time traffic conditions to guarantee delivery times.
Express transport of spare and replacement parts for the automotive industry
HK helps to optimize the supply chain in the automotive industry
With its close proximity to the production sites of France's main automotive plants, notably in the east of France and in the Paris region, HK helps to speed up the flow of equipment. This proximity enables us to react rapidly in the event of a breakdown.
Another HK advantage: a European network and numerous partners located in Central Europe, enabling us tohelp automakers and equipment manufacturers find solutions in the event of supply disruptions and line stoppages.
Our teams also work alongside 4PL and 5PL supply chain players to optimize the spare parts supply chain.
Direct routing of your spare and replacement parts
The road transport of spare parts is generally entrusted to a global service provider who, in his specifications, has undertaken to deliver car parts point-to-point with precise timing. Considerable volumes of goods are transferred nightly from warehouse to warehouse, before being transported to the final point of use. While this has the advantage of being inexpensive and generally efficient, there are often bottlenecks and parcels are left on the quayside.
To ensure maximum delivery security and a service that meets manufacturers' specifications, HK provides a service without intermediaries. Our drivers transport only one merchandise: yours.
Our drivers are also trained in the HK method: precision, safe handling, adapted driving and responsiveness to traffic. They are accompanied by our specialists, who monitor the route in real time and keep track of delivery progress.
HK advantages for supply chain players

The teams are in charge of recurring distribution rounds, and comply with specifications, schedules, specific delivery procedures (night-time delivery locks, for example) and the return of certain parts, from small alternators to bulky engines, including shock absorbers...
- HK is involved in the transportation of repair parts, to avoid disputes linked to parts left on the quayside. This is particularly important for large, expensive parts such as engines and gearboxes.
- HK specializes in express and secure en-route transport. Our method: to speed up the logistics flow by responding immediately to the requests of players in this sector. Mechanical parts urgently required can be dispatched in record time and in complete safety.
