Oversized Cargo Transport

Equipment, machine tools, structures, heavy machinery — cargo that does not fit a standard truck. We select the trailer, survey the route, obtain the permits.

What counts as oversized

Cargo exceeding the permitted dimensions or weight for standard transport. Exact thresholds vary by country and road class — so a multi-country route is approved with each authority separately.

Oversized is not 'a big truck'. It is a project: route calculation, checking bridges and overpasses, permits, sometimes dismantling obstacles or temporarily closing traffic.

Equipment

Low-bed trailers for tall cargo. Extendable trailers for long loads. Modular trailers for heavy lifts.

Equipment is selected for the cargo, not the other way round: first measurements and weight, then the trailer.

Permits and routing

Special transport permits, approval with road authorities, and escort vehicles or traffic police where required.

The route is calculated against real constraints, not a map: overhead cable height, bridge load ratings, turning radii.

What the service includes

Measurements and loading scheme, equipment selection, route survey and approval, special permits, cargo securing, escort, insurance, customs clearance.

What drives the price of oversized transport

Dimensions and weight — but the route decides, not the cargo. One extra metre of height can mean a detour of hundreds of kilometres if an overpass blocks the direct path.

Trailer type: low-bed, extendable, modular. Selected for the cargo, not the other way round.

Permits and approvals. On a multi-country route, each country is approved separately.

Escort: pilot vehicle, traffic police, and sometimes dismantling of obstacles.

What we need from you to quote

Exact dimensions: length, width, height. Not 'roughly' — the trailer choice and the entire route depend on them.

Weight and centre of gravity. For heavy lifts this is critical: the securing scheme and axle load distribution depend on it.

Lifting points, a drawing or photographs of the cargo.

Conditions at loading and unloading sites: access, crane availability, hard standing.

How we work

You describe the cargo and the route — we ask clarifying questions. The more precise the inputs (weight, dimensions, cargo type, document readiness), the closer the quote is to the final figure.

We calculate cost and transit time and propose a delivery scheme. If another mode is better for your cargo, we say so plainly — even when it lowers our invoice.

Once agreed, we sign the contract, collect the cargo from the supplier and run it to your warehouse. At every stage you know where the cargo is and what is happening to it.
