Specialized and Heavy Freight Shipping

Oversized and Overweight

Is typically needed for cargo that exceeds standard legal limits for weight and dimensions. This can include exceptionally heavy loads, oversized machinery, industrial equipment, large structures, and other non-standard items.

Specialized Equipment

Use custom-designed trailers, trucks, and other specialized vehicles to accommodate the size and weight of the cargo. Examples of such equipment include lowboy trailers, flatbeds, heavy haul trucks, and multi-axle trailers.

Permit Requirements

Due to the non-standard nature of the cargo, specialized transportation often requires permits and regulatory approvals. These permits are necessary to ensure the transportation complies with safety regulations and road restrictions. The specific permits needed depend on the cargo’s size, weight, and the routes taken.

Safety Measures

Safety is a top priority in specialized transportation. Cargo must be properly secured to prevent shifting during transit. Precautions are taken to ensure the load doesn’t pose risks to the driver, other road users, or the environment.
