Sète Port Traction for Trailers, Swap Bodies and Container Chassis
AFILLO arranges road traction out of the Port of Sète for unaccompanied trailers, swap bodies, and container chassis. AFILLO plans the tractor unit, the terminal exit, and the road leg to the agreed delivery point; it does not act as the carrier of the cargo.
The service covers confirming that the unit is available at the terminal, assigning a suitable tractor, the port exit, and the road leg to the agreed delivery point. Each operation is confirmed separately against terminal, unit type, gross weight, ADR status, date, and route.

Frequently asked questions about Sète port traction
Which units can AFILLO pull from the Port of Sète?
Subject to operational confirmation, a tractor unit can be planned for unaccompanied trailers, swap bodies, and container chassis. Unit type and coupling compatibility are verified before the quote.
What does the Sète container service cover?
AFILLO plans terminal pickup of a suitable container chassis by tractor unit and its road movement to the agreed delivery point. It is not a sea-freight service and AFILLO is not the container owner.
Which countries are assessed for traction out of Sète?
Besides deliveries inside France, requests towards Belgium, Spain, Portugal, and the confirmed Sète–Trieste line are assessed. Feasibility is confirmed against date, unit, and delivery point.
What information is needed for a Sète traction quote?
The terminal or pickup point, the destination, the unit type, the readiness date, gross weight, ADR status, and any existing operational notes.
How does a port-exit traction operation start?
Once the unit is available at the terminal, pickup details and the time window are confirmed. After a suitable tractor is matched, the port exit and the agreed delivery route are planned.
Does AFILLO own vessels, trailers, or containers?
No. AFILLO provides tractor-unit dispatch, the road leg, and operational coordination, without claiming equipment ownership and without acting as the carrier of the cargo.
