Oversized cargo transportation is the transportation of goods dimensions of which (together with the vehicles used for this purpose) exceed the permissible values specified in the traffic rules.

The rules governing the transportation of non-standard products apply when even one of the parameters is exceeded. Transportation of non-standard goods requires a lot of preparation and is strictly regulated by law. Therefore, it should be performed only by carriers with extensive experience, who are able to plan such cargo transportation and have an established position in the market.

Not every vehicle, structure or special cargo exceeds the norms and requires the organization of oversized transportation, and not all of the above will be classified as oversized. However, whenever the dimensions or weight of the cargo exceed the parameters permitted by law, Spark.kz organizes oversized transportation.

The category of heavy-weight products usually includes industrial and construction machinery, drilling rigs, equipment for the fuel and energy sector, food industry, boilers and chemical tanks, forging equipment and presses, conveyor lines, as well as equipment for performing tasks in outer space.

To implement this type of transportation, it is necessary to observe many formalities. Each order that involves the transportation of oversized items requires a thorough expert opinion on the applicable legal norms and compliance therewith. Unfortunately, not all roads are adapted for oversized transport. Therefore, it is essential to properly plan the route: find out the width of all roads and tunnels, the strength of the bridges and the sizes of traffic circles.

Thus, aside of meeting the requirements set out in regulatory documents, oversized shipments also require a well-planned logistics process and the preparation of the transportation route with particular emphasis on potential obstructions, such as narrow roads. Due to the non-standard dimensions of the products, off-road travel requires the selection of specialized vehicle and careful route planning.

Oversized trips usually have to be organized in a non-standard way, avoiding unsuitable bridges, roundabouts, viaducts or natural obstructions. In many cases, it is also necessary to use railway, marine or inland waterways to get to the specified address.

The advantages of contacting our specialists are detailed and up-to-date knowledge of customs and forwarding documents required for road transport. We are engaged in the registration of special permits for the transportation of oversized items. With us, you will avoid unexpected failures and be satisfied with the smooth performance of your orders.

When organizing oversized transportation, not only the applicable traffic rules and legal requirements regarding acceptable transport parameters, but also the entire logistics process have to be considered. Starting from the selection of the carrier and the selection of vehicles to the planning of loading and delivery time frames. Obtaining the appropriate permit is the first step in organizing the entire enormous process of transporting oversized cargo.

The following conditions are taken into account when planning the transportation:

• type, nature of cargo, its weight and dimensions, which will determine the selection of suitable vehicle;
• road infrastructure;
• the route with potential obstructions;
• applicable transportation rules;
• gross weight and total weight of vehicles or vehicle combinations permitted on the roads over which transportation is to be carried out.

The preparation stage is of particular importance. Oversized transport requires performing many steps already at the phase of order planning. First of all, a detailed analysis of the route is important, taking into account the width of the road, the sharpness of corners, the height of viaducts and bridges. It is better to plan such a route for nighttime so as not to interfere with traffic during the day. Sometimes it is also required to notify the relevant authorities about the route of movement, if oversized transport requires road blocking, removal of signs. In some cases, it is also necessary to escort the cargo, to monitor the progress of transport, report possible obstructions along the way and even direct the traffic.

Oversized transportation requires a specialized fleet (as a rule, these are tractors with appropriate low-bed semi-trailers) and an individual approach to each order. However, transport and logistics companies must have not only serviceable transport, but also experienced drivers. Skills in planning of routes, composure, stress management, and maintenance of concentration for long stretches are very important features of a large vehicle driver.

The cost of services of professionals is determined in each particular case at the stage of preliminary consultation. The final cost is formed taking into account a number of aspects. The Company's managers will promptly answer any further questions regarding the price or other nuances.

We remind you that any difficulties a carrier encounters along the way threaten not only the risk of delays, but also an increase in transportation costs. That is why oversized transportation is very often arranged for the nighttime, so as not to interfere with other road users.

If it turns out that, due to its specifics, the vehicle or a combination of vehicles are not able to overcome obstructions on the way, then a different route will have to be selected.

Oversized cargo transport may be carried out by the following types of transport:

1. Motor transport. Motor/road transport is carried out using equipment that provides a wide range of configuration options depending on the type of cargo.
2. Marine transport is also used to ensure safe transportation of oversized cargo. Oversized cargo is transported in specialized containers depending on the type, weight and parameters of the goods.
3. Railway transport is a fast, safe and economical solution. This type of transport is excellent for the delivery of oversized and heavy goods.
4. Air transport can also be used to deliver oversized items. But it should be borne in mind that this method of transportation involves higher costs.
