Swedish term or phrase: helhetstransporter
Context given:

Stora gods som helhetstransporter

ABC Specialtransport tar hand om de transporterna som är för stora eller tunga att flytta med vanlig lastbil.
Olika stålprodukter och -konstruktioner till broar och byggnader samt båttransporter hör till vanliga uppdrag.
Vi sköter transporten som helhetslösning och innefattar t.ex. lyft med kran, transport på gummihjul och transport via sjö- eller järnväg

comprehensive transport solutions
Explanation:
I agree with Helena, that they want to relate "helthetstransport" to "helhetslösning", although "overall transport" just doesn't say anything to an English-speaker.

I would suggest "comprehensive transport solutions".

Explanation:
Will suggest this, based on the link below -- they say 'transport' but include other things. Otherwise, I'd say Richard's suggestion as 'Complete transport...' works well here.

special loads


Explanation:
Maybe I've misunderstood the Swedish but isn't it the fact that the load is heavy and/or big that is emphasised.(a whole unit that can't be broken down into parts)
In that case , it would be a special load in transport terminology
