History

- when Torben Rafn started as a self-employed haulier. The picture on the left shows our first building in Sommersted in southern Jutland, where the business is still based. To begin with, the company was mostly involved in transporting road construction materials, agricultural lime etc., but after a while it developed into a modern and all-round haulage business, operating as far afield as Europe and the Middle East.

Torben Rafn’s vehicles were even to be found in Africa. In connection with transports to the Middle East, the company slowly started to take an interest in specialist haulage, which paved the way for the company’s current activities. 

In 1986, Torben Rafn and Ivar Dahl Nielsen started what is now Torben Rafn A/S. Back then, in addition to specialist trailers and heavy haulers, the fleet comprised high-volume trucks, tarpaulin trailers and refrigerated vehicles, but from the outset it has always been the company’s strategy to focus on special transports.

Today, the company has more than 2,000 square metres of modern workshop and storage facilities as well as a particularly comprehensive range of specialist vehicles and heavy haulers for all types of specialist haulage assignments.
