Transportation of special equipment

Any oversized equipment or heavy loads can be a real problem when transported both inside and outside the country. The main reason for such problems with the transportation of goods is the current state of existing routes and highways, most of which have certain restrictions on both the maximum load on the road and the dimensions of transport.

Both Europe and Ukraine are covered by a network of roads with structural elements that restrict the passage of non-standard vehicles. These can be:

• different types of ring junctions;
• narrowing of roads;
• lying policemen on roads in towns and villages;
• modification of roads to ensure safe cycling;
• bridges and tunnels along the route and so on.

All carriers of excessive cargo, and the company TransAvtoD is no exception, regularly face this fact when drawing up transport routes when transporting oversized.

Transportation of special equipment – why it is difficult

Construction, industrial, agricultural machinery is not intended for independent movement to the point of use. Oversized equipment is not only non-standard length and weight of several tens of tons, but also rather low speed of movement.

Transportation of oversized cargo of this type is carried out with the use of a special tractor and a semi-trailer type trawl. Its carrying capacity can exceed 60 tons, which is more than enough for oversized transportation of special equipment.

The difficulty lies in the fact that in many European countries there is no developed network of “corridors” for the transportation of oversized cargo. The existing road network is simply not designed and intended for these transportations, as there are almost no main routes on which the spatial requirements for the passage of transport would be provided.

Transportation of special equipment – despite all obstacles

In addition, oversized transportation is the maximum weight that must be properly distributed on the road surface so as not to damage it. You should also prepare several options for the route of movement of goods – this involves a special logistics department.

The service of “transportation of special equipment” from the company TAD is extremely popular, thanks to the professional approach and strict compliance with the commitments. Extensive experience in the transportation of the most complex goods guarantees the fulfillment of any requests, requirements and wishes of the customer. Insurance is mandatory for cargo of any type.
