- What kind of cargo is considered as oversized cargo and how best to organize its transportation?

Firstly, an oversized cargo is a cargo, the dimensions of which exceed the allowable limits for transportation established by the rules of the road transport. In other words, it is an indivisible item of cargo that cannot fit into a standard vehicle.

Secondly, oversized cargo must only be transported with the assistance of professionals, as there is a great risk of damaging not only the cargo itself, but also the infrastructure. It is necessary to check the entire route to make sure that there will be no insurmountable obstacles such as bridges, overpasses and power lines.

Thirdly, it is advisable to insure an oversized cargo, which our experts clearly stipulate in the contract with the client. If necessary, additional support is arranged.

Mandatory items that must be considered:

  • Proper selection of transport for entrusted cargo
  • Determine the special characteristics of the goods during transportation
  • Preparation of loading and securing schemes
