Family business since 1850. 175 years of transport from Ophemert, all across Europe.
Blankers Transport BV specialises in freight transport throughout Europe, especially volume transport. Most of our trucks are fitted with double or triple loading floors, which at least doubles the loading capacity for suitable goods. Our modern fleet is fully equipped with the latest communication technology, including GPS tracking.
The history of Blankers is a family history. For six generations we have been building on what started around 1850: from wheelbarrow and dog cart to double- and triple-deck trucks all across Europe. In 2026 we celebrated 175 years of Blankers Transport.
The family’s roots lie in Heerewaarden, among farming, fishing and craftsmanship. It was there, around 1850, that the family’s first transport began.
With a wheelbarrow, a dog cart and later a horse and cart, Arie took farmers’ produce from Ophemert and the surrounding area to the market in Tiel.
In 1928 Mathijs bought the first Ford Model T and grew the business to six trucks offering a range of transport services.
Anthonie added removals and furniture transport, crossed the Dutch border for the first time and even ran a taxi service to Wadenoijen station.
Martien built Blankers into an international transport company with around 50 combinations and introduced the first double-deck trucks around 2000. He is still involved to this day.
Siblings Anthonie and Janelle continue to build smart solutions through a strong network, with double-deck transport as our specialism. Meanwhile, we are working step by step towards zero-emission transport.
Blankers operates 45 modern truck combinations, most of them with double or triple loading floors. Every combination has a route tracking system, so we always know exactly where your shipment is, down to street level if needed. Our drivers can be reached by mobile phone at all times, and all our vehicles have a BV3 alarm for extra security.
