Oversized load on abnormal trailer

Oversized & Abnormal Loads

Loads that exceed standard dimensions. We plan the route, notify the authorities and coordinate the escorts.

Abnormal load movement with marker boards

Oversized logistics planned from the permit up

Oversized movements are a paperwork exercise as much as a transport one. STGO cat 1-3, ESDAL notifications, police liaison and bridge reports all need to be correct before the wheels turn.

We manage the end-to-end abnormal load process - survey, permit, escort, route and delivery - so the customer receives a single managed movement rather than a list of sub-contractors.
