Oversized cargo

If the goods that you want to move, more than one of the options, as follows:. The height of more than 4 meters, width of more than 2.55 meters, length of 20 meters whiter and weighs more than 38 tons – that such a load is considered to be oversized (non-standard). Most of the truck is designed for transportation of cargo in standard sizes (width no more than 2.5 meters, height of up to 3 meters long and 13.6 meters and weight up to 20 tons.). Oversize loads in most cases are hardwired and large-capacity, they can not be removed, and as a consequence there is a need for special transport and for transport.

Oversized cargo also divided into three categories:

    Heavy load (load is the weight of which exceeds the permissible parameters of the vehicle on the allowed mass transport);
    Bulky freight (this load that exceeds the allowable parameters for limiting the dimensions of the vehicle);
    Long loads (this load that extends beyond the dimensions of the rear side of the vehicle by more than 2 meters)

Transportation of oversized cargo requires special permits, and the basic conditions for the transport of such goods is:

    The load must not cover the driver’s view and visibility as an overview when applying hand signals;
    The load shall not in any way affect the stability of the vehicle;
