With 2-man teams (in the so-called two-man handling), we deliver sofas, wardrobes, washing machines, sports equipment, large televisions, and much more to their customers and carry the goods to the desired location within their living spaces – or to the basement. Our comprehensive modular service offering is complemented by a variety of services such as furniture assembly, appliance installation, hanging, and adjustments.

Senders from various industries with diverse requirements rely on the performance and service orientation of our 2-man handling teams. The network within Germany is operated or coordinated by HES itself and includes two hub locations in Löhne and Ansbach, as well as around 50 delivery depots, most of which are operated by partners.
