Heavy and out-of-gauge transport for steel construction
Steel fabricators deliver girders, columns, trusses and bridge sections from the works to the site. Length and weight decide on permits; assembly determines when each piece must arrive.
What matters
- Over-length
- Long girders and trusses need special vehicles and permits.
- Divisibility
- How the structure is split affects transport and assembly.
- Assembly sequence
- Deliveries in installation order, often straight to the crane.
- Coating
- Edge protectors and suitable lashing protect the surface.
Planning questions
We clarify these points before quoting – the earlier they are known, the more precise the plan.
- Which pieces, with lengths and weights?
- How is the structure split?
- Is there an assembly plan?
- Where is the site?
- Who lifts on site?
What we need from you
- Parts list
- Assembly plan
- Site
- Lifting
Preparation: You hand over the cargo ready for loading with known lifting points – dismantling, assembly and foundation work are handled by your team or your installation partner.
What we do for you
What we organise
- Feasibility check per project with questions on missing values
- Coordination of permits, escort vehicles, route surveys and lifting equipment via partners
- Quote with the agreed scope once the transport can be planned
Good to know
Talk to us before splitting the structure – together we find the split that makes the transport easiest.
How it works
- 01
Request
You state the cargo, dimensions and weight per piece with units, rough route and time window – marking anything unknown.
- 02
Review
We check pieces and route and clarify vehicles, permits and sequence.
- 03
Quote
After the feasibility check you receive a quote with the agreed scope, including partner services.
- 04
Execution
Transports after permit, delivery in assembly sequence.
Questions and answers: Steel construction
How early should a steel fabricator request transport?
As soon as lengths and weights are fixed – permits need lead time.
Is it worth splitting pieces shorter?
Sometimes: shorter pieces can simplify permits but cost assembly effort. We show both sides.
Can pieces be delivered straight to the assembly crane?
Yes, if sequence and crane are coordinated.
