Oversized cargo
Oversized cargo
Cargoes that are not suitable for transportation in an open or closed body or in a container, or in which at least one parameter is larger than the standard, are called oversized.
Such cargoes have a number of special features during transportation:
- They require special equipment
- The route for transportation needs to be developed in more detail
- Special permits are required
- Sometimes special escorts and specially trained drivers are required
- Other requirements that are prescribed in the rules for the carriage of oversized and heavy cargo
There are the following types of oversized cargo:
Oversized cargo — at least one dimension of the cargo is larger than the maximum overall dimensions of the road train. These dimensions are clearly defined in industry-specific legislation.
Long loads — loads with a length of more than 22 metres or that protrude more than 2 metres beyond the rear dimension when loaded.
Overweight cargoes — these include those cargoes whose weight, taking into account the transport weight, exceeds 40 tonnes and/or the axle load of the vehicle exceeds the limits specified in the legislation.
Our company transports such oversized cargo:
- Machinery for agriculture (seeders, cultivators, combines, fertiliser spreaders, etc.)
- Construction equipment (hydraulic lifts, tower cranes, hydraulic hammers, drilling cranes, etc.)
- Various industrial and power equipment (rolling mills, step-down and step-up transformers, tanks, railway equipment)
- Metal garages, pavilions, premises for household needs, modular buildings, etc.
- Items with a large radius (barrels, pipes for production)
- Long loads (pipes, rails, power poles, etc.)
- Oversized wooden and metal products
Project cargoes cause the greatest difficulties in transportation. After all, this type of cargo cannot be transported by ordinary roads without a preliminary examination of the route and additional approvals. This requirement is dictated by the special dimensions and weight of project cargo.
Our company employs specialists with extensive experience in the transport of oversized cargo. We can easily transport any long, bulky and heavy cargo. And all this will be done as quickly as possible. It is worth noting that all oversized cargo transportation is carried out in accordance with the current laws and regulations, as well as safety standards for transportation in Ukraine and abroad.
