The global segment of oversized cargo transportation shows a stable annual growth of 15%. Experts attribute such dynamics to new economic ties. Large enterprises establish partnerships with foreign counterparties, open new representative offices and branches. And oversized rail transportation becomes a part of such cooperation and development.

over 4 meters in height.
Examples of such cargoes include:
construction equipment (excavators, bulldozers, graders, trucks);
drilling rigs, earthmoving equipment, stone crushing machines;
metal structures – towers, fences;
large equipment – lines of cement, chemical plants, mills;
tanks, motorized vessels.

Peculiarities of oversized cargo transportation by railroad
Transportation of oversized cargo by rail has its own peculiarities and requires a professional approach from the “planning” stage to the final “delivery” stage.
Project development begins with receiving input data from the client. These are drawings of oversized positions in several projections with indication of dimensions, information about the weight and name of the cargo, about the route. If such technical information is not available, the client can order the departure of a specialist to perform the necessary measurements of oversized cargo.
On the basis of the received data the transportation process is planned, the rolling stock is selected – platform, gondola car, transporter, the scheme of cargo fastening on the car is developed. Other tasks that the transportation company needs to solve:
In order to send oversized cargo by rail, it must be initially delivered to the railroad platform, safely loaded, and unloaded at the point of receipt. 2.
It is also necessary to secure the structure on the railcar. If necessary, the oversized cargo is partially disassembled for further transportation by rail. Places of structures prone to mechanical damage, such as glass partitions, are necessarily isolated.
The route is thought out, because the movement of cargo on separate branches may be limited by the size of tunnels and low load capacity of bridges.
А separate word about legal registration. Bulk transportation by rail is accompanied by the preparation of a package of documents. It is especially important to comply with this condition for international delivery of products, structures, equipment.
Only professionals, such as Neolit Logistics, can solve all these problems and ensure the safety of oversized cargo transportation by rail.
