Engineering and Risk Management in Oversized and Project Transport

Key Takeaways from the Article

  • Detailed road survey and route simulation carried out by specialist engineers.
  • Modular hydraulic platforms and a heavy-haul lowbed fleet.
  • International special transit permits and a professional escort team.

Wide, long or heavy out-of-gauge loads that exceed standard trailer and container dimensions are the area of logistics demanding the highest level of engineering and precision. Every project transport requires a unique operational plan.

Oversized heavy project transport

1. Route and Bridge Capacity Analysis (Road Survey)

Before the transport, our specialist engineering team simulates the viaducts, bridges, tunnel clearances and turning radii along the chosen route, and the route permit is obtained on that basis.

2. Choosing the Lowbed and Hydraulic Platform

Depending on the tonnage and centre of gravity of the load, dedicated tractor and trailer combinations are used, from 3-axle lowbeds to 12-axle modular hydraulic platforms.

3. Escort Cars and Police Accompaniment

Throughout the shipment, safe traffic management is provided under the escort of civilian and police pilot vehicles, in line with official permits.
