What is considered an oversized cargo?

Oversized cargo refers to goods that exceed the permissible dimensions or weight for road transport.
Most often, these include:

·       construction or agricultural machinery,

·       metal structures,

·       industrial equipment, tanks, modules, or transformers.

Such cargos often require not only special vehicles (e.g., low-bed trailers, trailers with extensions) but also escorts, route coordination, and police permits.

Why pre-planning is necessary

Transporting oversized cargo is not a simple transportation from point A to point B.
Each case is unique – it is necessary to assess:

·       height and load restrictions of roads and bridges,

·       turning radii,

·       surrounding objects (signs, power lines),

·       route coordination with the authorities.

Even a few centimeters of discrepancy can become a serious obstacle – thus, planning is a crucial success factor here.

Permits and safety requirements

In order for oversized cargo to be transported, it is necessary to obtain special permits from the Road Administration or other responsible authorities.
Often, an escort vehicle is also required, and in some cases – even several escort vehicles ensuring safe movement through cities or highways.

Professional logistics companies like Masneka Logistics handle these processes on behalf of the client – from obtaining permits to coordinating the entire route.

Proper equipment – a guarantee of safety

Transporting oversized cargo requires specialized vehicles.
The following are used:

·       low-bed trailers,

·       telescopic trailers,

·       combinations of modular systems, adapted to the specific cargo.

Properly selected equipment not only protects the cargo but also complies with road safety requirements.

How to choose a reliable logistics partner

When choosing a company, it is important not only the price but also the experience, permits, and understanding of responsibilities.
A reliable partner:

·       has a clear project management structure,

·       can react quickly to changes,

·       has experience working internationally.
