Oversized cargo

Transportation of oversized cargo is one of the most complex areas in transport and logistics activities. To ensure the delivery of structures and products of this category, it is necessary to provide special conditions – to attract special transport, to build an optimal route that would fully comply with traffic regulations, if necessary, to carry out approvals and provide escort. In Ukraine, few carriers have the necessary resources to provide high-quality services. Among the leaders is the transport and logistics company “Neolit ​​Logistics”. We provide services for the transportation of oversized and heavy cargo, both in Ukraine and abroad. Thanks to our own fleet of vehicles, extensive experience of our team of specialists, and an individual approach to each new contract, “Neolit ​​Logistics” will deliver your oversized cargo in the shortest possible time and in complete safety.

Oversized cargo, types and features

Before talking further about the transportation of oversized cargo, it is necessary to clarify what we are talking about. It is more correct to refer to such cargo as large-sized or heavy. These include any transported objects whose dimensions and weight exceed standard norms. In other words, if the cargo exceeds:

• 22 m in length;
• 2.6 m in width;
• 4 m in height from the road surface;
• 38 tons in weight (together with the car),

it is called oversized. It is customary to divide oversized cargo into three main groups:

• Large-sized. When one, two or all three dimensions exceed the norm.
• Long-sized. The transported product has a length of 20 meters or protrudes more than 2 meters beyond the tailboard of the trailer or truck.
• Heavy-duty. If the weight of the cargo with the vehicle exceeds 38 tons.

The Neolit ​​Logistics company regularly solves problems of varying complexity in the transportation of non-standard equipment and machinery. If you are interested in this service, we will be happy to help.

The most common types of oversized cargo

Today, the “Oversized transportation” service is most often used when it is necessary to deliver the following cargo:

• Production equipment for various industries.
• Combine harvesters and other agricultural machinery.
• Construction and road equipment – transportation of bulldozers, crawler cranes, asphalt pavers, rollers and other types of special equipment.
• Transportation of water transport – boats, yachts, etc.

The service of transportation of heavy oversized cargo is indispensable for delivery to the installation site of multi-ton, long reinforced concrete products, such as floor trusses and bridge spans. Load-bearing structures, power generator units and wind turbine blades have also been one of the most popular types of oversized cargo in recent years.

Features of oversized cargo transportation

There are often cases when even experienced entrepreneurs make a mistake, believing that the transportation of oversized or heavy cargo can be carried out using a regular serial truck. But practical experience confirms that such transportation, both for the carrier company and for the customer, often ends in serious problems. The consequence may be an administrative fine for violating traffic rules and non-compliance with European standards for overall dimensions and weight standards. Or an accident, damaged vehicle and transported cargo, to which even larger fines are added. In addition, if people were injured in the accident and significant damage was caused to third parties, a criminal case may be opened.
