From Hamburg to Barcelona
THE TRANSPORTATION OF A WOODEN GIRAFFE
NAVIS Schifffahrts- und Speditions-AG also ensures that children benefit from the services that are provided. A playground in Barcelona, for instance, was expecting to receive a giraffe – not a real one, but rather a wooden piece – made by a Hamburg-native artist. Despite the fact that the wooden giraffe was not an actual living animal, the transportation process was not an easy one.

PLENTY OF FUN
An artist from Hamburg created a three-meter-high wooden giraffe for a playground located in downtown Barcelona. NAVIS transported the three-meter-high giraffe to Barcelona by truck so that the visitors of the playground may enjoy this extraordinary toy. The transportation was troublesome due to the structure of the large wooden piece. The biggest challenge was to transport the giraffe in one piece – but, of course, NAVIS took on the challenge.

THE CHALLENGE
The three-meter-high giraffe was made out of olive wood in order to withstand heavy impacts. This material is weatherproof, very stable and thus offers a long-term playing experience.
The giraffe was designed and created out of two pieces of wood in Hamburg. Since it was not possible to assemble the giraffe in Barcelona, the piece was put together beforehand in Hamburg. As a consequence, our road carriers faced the huge challenge of transporting the extraordinary object from Hamburg to Barcelona (a distance of 1,800 kilometers) in one piece – obviously on time and undamaged.
