We have a specialised department to organise exceptional load transport. Our experience is synonymous with guarantee when handling oversized or bulk goods.
Whatever the weight and size of the goods, we have the right solutions for proper handling.
We also see to all the delicate aspects involved in handling oversized or bulk goods.
Transport Equipment
We have the right transport equipment for secure shipments, which we choose based on the requirements.
After carefully studying the size and weight of the goods, we design a loading plan that guarantees security of the load during handling and limits wear on the road surface.
Routes
Given the size and weight of the goods to be transported, we pay the utmost attention to identifying the most suitable route to take.
We ensure that there are no impediments or limitations on transit and assess the times permitted by the motorway authorities.
Permits and authorisations
We connect with the relevant authorities for the payment of road use charges under Article 34 of the Highway Code.
In addition, we apply for traffic permits for exceptional load transport vehicles.
Specialised Personnel
Our qualified personnel have the appropriate qualifications granted by the Traffic Police to assist with handling operations. When necessary, we can organise a technical escort service to follow the vehicle along the entire route.
Signalling Devices
As required by law, we provide the necessary signposts and lighted devices during transport.

Additional notes
Article 61 of the Highway Code sets the size limits as follows: each vehicle, including its load, must have a width less than 2.50 metres, a height less than 4 metres and a total length, including towing devices, less than 7.50 metres for single-axle trailers and 12 metres for trailers with two or more axles.
Article 62 of the Highway Code, on the other hand, sets the weight limits: a fully laden vehicle may not exceed 5 tonnes for single-axle trailers, 8 tonnes for two-axle trailers and 10 tonnes for trailers with three or more axles.
