Route surveys for heavy and out-of-gauge transport
Before a large or heavy item moves, it must be clear that the route allows it: bridges with sufficient load capacity, enough clearance height, bends with room for the vehicle and an access road that carries the weight. We organise route surveys via partners.
What matters
- Bridges and load capacity
- Structures on the route must carry total weight and axle loads.
- Heights and widths
- Bridges, gantries, cables, traffic lights and bottlenecks are recorded.
- Bends and roundabouts
- Swept-path analyses show whether the vehicle gets through or obstacles must be removed.
- Last mile
- Plant premises and site access are part of it – often the most critical part.
Planning questions
We clarify these points before quoting – the earlier they are known, the more precise the plan.
- What dimensions and weight do the goods have?
- Where exactly are loading and unloading points?
- Are there known bottlenecks on site?
- What is the ground like at the access?
- Is there experience with earlier transports there?
What we need from you
- Dimensions and weight
- Exact loading and unloading points (in conversation)
- Known bottlenecks
- 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
The survey reveals bottlenecks early – so we find the right route for your cargo in good time.
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 clarify the scope of the route survey with partners – from desk study to drive-through.
- 03
Quote
After the feasibility check you receive a quote with the agreed scope, including partner services.
- 04
Execution
The survey result feeds into permit, vehicle choice and quote.
Questions and answers: Route surveys
What is checked in a route survey?
Load capacity of bridges, clearance heights, widths, bends, bottlenecks and access to loading and unloading points.
Is a route survey always needed?
Not always to the same extent. With large dimensions or weights it is a prerequisite; the scope is clarified per project.
What happens if the route does not fit?
We look for an alternative with partners or say openly that the transport is not feasible this way.
