Abnormal Loads Transport Services

An abnormal load needs assessment because the loaded vehicle may fall outside ordinary permitted dimensions or mass limits. The cargo size alone does not settle the question. Send its weight and dimensions together with the route so the transport arrangement and applicable requirements can be assessed.

No. Requirements depend on the load, loaded vehicle, route and applicable permissions. Tell us the full collection and delivery details so permit and escort arrangements can be considered as part of the job. Do not assume another project's arrangements will apply to yours.

Permit and escort arrangements can form part of our agreed abnormal-load transport scope where required. Include them in your enquiry and check the written quote for responsibilities and inclusions. The move must be planned around the requirements confirmed for its route and load.

A lowbed provides a lower load deck, which can help when planning transport for tall or heavy equipment. Suitability still depends on the equipment dimensions, weight, loading method and route. It does not automatically remove abnormal-load or access requirements.

The method depends on the machinery and the trailer provided. It may require separate lifting or loading equipment; do not assume ramps are available or that a machine can simply drive on. Describe whether the item can move under its own power and what loading facilities exist at both sites.

The loaded dimensions and weight, trailer, route, distance, loading arrangements and required permissions or escorts affect the plan and quote. Supply accurate details early. Dates can only be confirmed against equipment availability and the requirements for the proposed movement.

Do not assume unrestricted travel times. The proposed movement must be checked against its route and applicable permit conditions. Give us your collection and delivery deadlines so we can assess the schedule and explain any constraints before arrangements are finalised.
