Logisticoo Heavy & Project
Planning
What you should clarify before a heavy or project transport – concise and practical.
Planning
- Stating dimensions correctlyHow to state length, width and height for heavy or out-of-gauge transport: envelope dimensions, overhangs, units, transport condition – and why centimetres count.
- Weight and axle loadsWhy heavy transport is not only about total weight but axle loads: distribution across axles, vehicle choice, bridges and roads – explained clearly.
- Centre of gravity and load distributionWhy the centre of gravity of heavy goods is decisive for loading, axle loads and lifting, where to find it and what happens if it is assumed wrongly.
- How a permit procedure worksHow a permit procedure for heavy transport works: data, application, consultation of bodies involved, decision with conditions – and what affects duration.
- Preparing loading and unloading pointsChecklist for loading and unloading points in heavy transport: space for vehicle and crane, ground, lifting, staff and times – so the transport does not wait.
- Access and ground conditionsThe last metres decide: access roads, gates, bends, gradients and firm ground for heavy vehicles and cranes – what to look out for.
- Allowing realistic lead timeWhy heavy transport needs lead time: feasibility, permits, route surveys, partners and cranes – and how early contact creates room for manoeuvre.
- What drives the costThe main cost drivers in heavy and out-of-gauge transport: dimensions, weight, route, permits, escorts, travel times, crane and waiting time – what shapes your quote.
- When values are still missingWhat to do if dimensions, weight or centre of gravity are not fixed yet: mark as unknown, label estimates, supply later – why we commit to nothing beforehand.
- Drawings and data sheetsWhich drawings and data sheets help in heavy transport: envelope dimensions, weight, centre of gravity, support and lifting points – and when to send them.
- Lifting and lashing pointsWhy heavy goods need defined lifting and lashing points, where they should be, what happens without them and who defines them.
- Divisible or indivisible loadsWhy it matters for heavy transport permits whether a load is divisible, what counts as indivisible and when dismantling is the better solution.
Frequently asked questions
Where should I start before the request?
With “Stating dimensions correctly” and “When values are still missing” – both save questions.
Where do the binding requirements for my transport come from?
From the authorities' permit and conditions. The planning pages explain typical processes – we clarify the details for your project.
Why is lead time so important for heavy transport?
Because permits, route surveys and partners need time. Early contact creates room for manoeuvre.
