Oversized Transport

We are fully equipped to transport oversize loads

Oversized transport is a transport where the vehicle and the trailer exceed one of the permissible standards. Feel free to contact us if your load together with the trailer will be:

  • longer than 16.5 meters;
  • higher than 4 meters;
  • wider than 2.5 meters;
  • the vehicle, driver, and fuel – heavier than 42 tones.

You should be aware that exceeding even one standard makes us deal with oversized transport.

Each load – especially an oversize load – is different, so an individual approach to the transport is necessary. Can the bridge hold the weight of the goods? Will the vehicle fit under the bridge that is on the route? Will any of the streets be too tight for the extra wide load? Sometimes extremely unusual actions are needed, such as removing street signs and replacing them.

The transport of oversize loads is a task for an experienced transport company with a specialised fleet. Why?

  • oversized transport requires relevant permits,
  • transport of oversized loads requires using specialised bodyworks,
  • the freight forwarder must know how to plan the route to transport the load without problems,

Oversized Transport FAQ

1. What is oversized transport and what are the applicable regulations?

Oversized Transport Bydgoszcz deals with movement of loads which dimensions and/or weight exceed standard parameters. For road transport, we usually mean loads that are more than 2.5 metres wide, more than 16.5 metres long, more than 4 metres high or more than 40 tonnes in weight.

Even if one of these parameters is exceeded, oversized transport procedures are required. The organisation of such transport requires an individual approach to each order and appropriate means for securing the load. In addition, the transport company or freight forwarder must obtain relevant permits.

There are several categories of permits that can be issued for a period of between 1 and 24 months. In order to obtain a permit, it is required to submit an application to the relevant authority, such as the district authority or the General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways. For international transport, the approval of the head of customs is also required. There are various permits for oversized transport and they depend on, among other things, the total weight of the vehicle, axle loads, width, length and height of the vehicle including load. Additionally, it is necessary to comply with the regulations governing the organisation of such transport and to consider additional forwarding services that may be necessary.

3. How do we plan? Oversized Transport Bydgoszcz

Planning oversized transport is a process that requires special attention and care due to the unusual dimensions and weight of the loads being transported. A key part of this process is a thorough examination of all aspects of the haulage route, including an assessment of available roads and bridges in terms of their load-bearing capacity and allowable dimensions. It is also necessary to obtain all relevant permits and approvals, and to organise appropriate escort vehicles or technical protection to ensure safety during transport. In planning oversize transport, it is also extremely important to take into account any obstacles along the route, such as junctions, railway crossings or power lines, and to take appropriate preventive measures to overcome them. Attention to every detail and close cooperation between all parties involved are key to the successful and safe handling of oversized transport.
