Let's emphasize that transportation of oversized cargo - transportation of goods that exceed standard sizes and allowable weight for containers of 20 and 40 feet. You will need this service if you need to import construction, agricultural machinery or a production line from the producer's country; if you are a manufacturer of building materials - export your products abroad.
"Oversizing" parameters:
- Oversize on height - the height of the cargo with transport exceeds 4 m from the road surface (for container trucks on the routes set by each country's traffic inspection - 4.35 m)
- Oversize on width - the width of the cargo exceeds 2.6 m
- Oversize on length (long-length) - non-separable cargo, the length of which exceeds 22 m (for long vehicles - 25 m) - construction beams, cranes, pipes, supports, poles, piles, reinforced concrete structures, parts of equipment
Heavy cargo
A heavy category is considered a separate category. Its dimensions can be standard, but the mass exceeds the norms allowed by legal regulations. According to the average world criteria for the road transportations, the actual weight of the cargo should not exceed 40 tons (for container trucks on the routes set by each country's state traffic inspection - up to 46 tons). The load on a single axle should not exceed 11 tons, for a double axis - 16 tons, for a built-up axis - 22 tons. Weight restrictions for container trucks: 11 tons for a single axle; 18 tons for a twin axis; 24 tons for a built axis special equipment, industrial cisterns, machine tools, bulldozers, rollers, drilling rigs.
Transportation of oversized cargoes by road
Organization and registration of transportation of large size, as a rule, is engaged in a logistics company. In some cases, transportation of oversized cargo must be accompanied by traffic police officers. Such requirements are imposed by each state legislation if the length of the vehicle together with the load exceeds 22 m, or the height of the vehicle together with the load exceeds 4 m.
Transportation of oversized cargo by sea
When transporting project cargoes by sea, the common use is gained by Flat Rack, platforms and Open Top containers instead of standard ones. The condition of transportation is the redemption of all parts outside the container, which occupy the protruding parts of the cargo. Proper organization of loading can save from 25% to 50% of the cost of sea freight.
How are sea transportation of oversized cargo carried out?
Evaluates the parameters of the cargo to calculate the cost of transportation. The optimal route is discussed and approved with the customer. The path can be either solely marine, or combined - with subsequent delivery by land. Documents are collected, the final calculation of the cost of services is performed. Your personal manager charters a suitable truck or books the space on the vessel. Then we organize and control the process of loading oversized cargo on board. Accompanying documents are provided to the customer.
