Custom Transportation Solutions
Ask what the strangest thing Allied has ever shipped is, and the answer includes a dinosaur. One of the largest Tyrannosaurus Rex skeletons on public display has crossed continents on an Allied Special Products trailer, alongside jobs nobody would guess belong to a moving company — hardware retired from a NASA shuttle mission, a touring orchestra’s full set of instruments, a themed collection once belonging to Marilyn Monroe, and a presidential security screening system installed on a tight government deadline. Allied Bulgaria draws on that same 30-plus years of high-value shipping experience whenever a shipment in Sofia, Plovdiv, or Varna is too large, too delicate, or too unusual for a standard moving truck.
Cargo That Doesn’t Fit a Standard Truck
A shipment qualifies as custom when its size, sensitivity, security requirements, or timeline rules out ordinary freight. That threshold has been crossed by, among other things, a monument-scale torch replicating the one atop the Statue of Liberty, a fleet of more than a hundred motorcycles staged for a touring exhibition, and museum-grade fossil displays that needed climate control as much as heavy-load rigging.
Even when a request has never been handled in exactly that form before, the team has usually managed something structurally just as complex — an oversized industrial component, a fragile touring exhibit, or a piece with no obvious way to load it onto a trailer.
Our team has safely transported some of the world’s most challenging items, including:
The original torch from the Statue of Liberty
A full symphony orchestra with delicate instruments
Over 100 custom bikes for an international motorcycle exhibition
One of the world’s largest Tyrannosaurus Rex skeletons
A vast collection of Marilyn Monroe’s personal memorabilia
High-security scanning systems for a U.S. presidential event
Components from the NASA space shuttle program
How a Bulgarian Business Actually Requests One
A company in Ruse needing an oversized production line moved, or an event organizer in Burgas shipping a touring installation, works through a Personal Allied Relocation Consultant rather than a generic sales line. That consultant scopes the item’s dimensions, fragility, and deadline before any trailer gets booked, then loops in the Business Relocation Team when the shipment is tied to a corporate relocation or facility move.
What Happens Behind the Scenes
- A logistics plan built around the specific item, not a standard template
- Access to specialized trailers, lift gates, and packing methods suited to the cargo’s shape
- Crews trained through Allied University in handling sensitive, non-standard freight
- A full risk assessment and route plan completed before pickup, covering road conditions, border crossings, and venue access
- A Transit Protection Plan sized to the item’s declared value
Reach That Extends Past Any Single City
Coverage runs across Sofia, Plovdiv, Varna, Burgas, Ruse, Pleven, Stara Zagora, Sliven, and Dobrich, and connects into Allied’s international network across 130+ countries whenever a custom shipment crosses a border. That combination — local execution backed by global logistics infrastructure — is what makes it possible to say yes to a request most carriers would turn down.
