Moving oversized cargo—whether industrial machinery, power plant components, or large-scale infrastructure materials—requires more than just a large truck. It demands meticulous planning, cross-border coordination, and specialized equipment.
Some of the main factors that must be addressed include:
- Route Surveys: Each route must be assessed for bridge weight limits, road widths, tunnel heights, and turning radii.
- Permits and Approvals: Transporting abnormal loads often involves applying for special permits and notifying local authorities in advance.
- Escort Vehicles: To ensure safety, oversized transports typically require pilot cars, warning signage, and coordination with traffic police.
- Loading and Securing: Heavy cargo must be loaded using cranes or hydraulic systems and secured according to international standards.
Failure to plan properly can result in delays, fines, or damage to infrastructure or cargo. That’s why oversized transport is considered a high-risk logistical operation that should only be handled by experienced professionals using appropriate tools and protocols.
