Planning and requesting heavy haulage
Heavy haulage starts where total weight or axle loads exceed what is generally permitted. Then weight distribution, vehicle combination, route and permit determine the planning – not just whether the goods fit on a truck.
What matters
- Weight and axle loads
- Not only total weight matters but how it is distributed across the axles. The vehicle combination depends on it.
- Vehicle via partners
- Low-loaders, semi-low-loaders or modular trailers are provided by partners; which fits follows from the review.
- Route
- Bridges and roads have load capacities – the route is checked against the weight.
- Permit
- Above the general limits an official permit with conditions is needed.
Planning questions
We clarify these points before quoting – the earlier they are known, the more precise the plan.
- How heavy is the heaviest piece, and where is the centre of gravity?
- What are its dimensions?
- How is lifting done at loading and unloading points?
- From where to where?
- By when must it arrive?
What we need from you
- Weight per piece with unit
- Dimensions per piece
- Route
- Time window
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
Share the weight per piece and ideally the centre of gravity – with these we choose vehicle and route to suit your load.
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 weight, dimensions, route and loading points and clarify vehicle and permit requirements with partners.
- 03
Quote
After the feasibility check you receive a quote with the agreed scope, including partner services.
- 04
Execution
Transport with a partner vehicle after the permit is granted and under the authority's conditions.
Questions and answers: Heavy haulage
From what weight is a transport heavy haulage?
When total weight or axle loads exceed the generally permitted limits. For the individual case we check goods, vehicle and route.
Which vehicle is used for heavy haulage?
That follows from the review: low-loaders, semi-low-loaders or modular trailers, provided by partners.
How heavy may my cargo be?
That depends on vehicle, route and permit. Share weight per piece and centre of gravity – we check which solution suits your cargo.
