BMS ON THE ROAD
With effect from November 2016, the BMS Group also includes the 100 per cent owned subsidiary Torben Rafn A/S, located in Sommersted in the southernmost part of Denmark.
Torben Rafn is a haulage company with a large number of tractor units, block semi-trailers and axles for modular heavy haulers, including considerable equipment such as beds, tower modules, boiler decks, spacers, turntables, road train equipment, and bogie equipment. The core competencies of the company cover wind power turbines, light haulage, heavy haulage, and contractors’ machinery.
The company was established in 1966. To begin with, it was mostly involved in transporting road construction materials and agricultural lime, but over the years it developed into an all-round haulage business, operating in Europe and the Middle East. Today, the company has more than 2,000 square metres of workshop and storage facilities as well as a comprehensive range of vehicles for all types of specialist haulage assignments.
The workshop services and repairs the company’s own equipment and the mechanics build up the heavy hauler modules for each assignment.
