Coordinating permits for heavy and out-of-gauge transport
A transport above the general dimension and weight limits – an abnormal load – needs an official permit, a separate one in every country crossed. We coordinate the applications via partners; the basis is your information on goods, vehicle and route.
What matters
- Exact data
- Dimensions, weights, axle loads and vehicle combination must be correct – deviations invalidate the permit.
- One procedure per country
- Cross-border transports need permits in every country on the route.
- Conditions
- The permit sets route, travel times, escorts and further conditions.
- Duration
- Processing times depend on authority, route and scope.
Planning questions
We clarify these points before quoting – the earlier they are known, the more precise the plan.
- Are dimensions and weight confirmed?
- Are there drawings or data sheets?
- Which countries does the route cross?
- What time window applies?
- Is the load divisible?
What we need from you
- Exact dimensions and weights
- Route with countries
- Time window
- Drawings (after our reply)
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
The sooner dimensions, weight and route are fixed, the sooner we start the permit – we give you the realistic lead time after the review.
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 permit requirements and coordinate applications with partners.
- 03
Quote
After the feasibility check you receive a quote with the agreed scope, including partner services.
- 04
Execution
Application via partners; the transport only starts with a valid permit.
Questions and answers: Coordinating permits
Who applies for the permit for a heavy transport?
We coordinate the application via partners; the basis is your information on goods, dimensions and weight.
How long does a permit take?
That depends on country, authority, route and scope. After the review we give you the realistic lead time and start the permit early.
What happens if dimensions change after the permit?
Then the permit no longer fits and usually has to be amended or reapplied for.
