Heavy Haulage Services
We understand that not all cargo fits neatly into a standard size trailer. That’s why we offer specialised heavy haulage services for wide loads, heavy loads, and special requirements.
What is Heavy Haulage?
Heavy haulage refers to the transportation of oversized or overweight cargo that exceeds the standard legal size and weight limits for road transport. This can include large machinery, construction equipment, prefabricated sections of buildings, wind turbine components, and other substantial items.
Due to the unique challenges posed by the size and weight of these loads, heavy haulage often requires specialized vehicles, equipment, and permits. Additionally, careful planning and route selection are essential to ensure safe and efficient transit, taking into account potential obstacles like bridges, tunnels, and power lines. Heavy haulage is a specialised field within the logistics industry, dedicated to moving exceptionally large or heavy items safely and efficiently.
