Off-gauge and heavy load cargo transportation

The off-gauge cargo transportation is the specific and richly demanded service, which is provided mainly using motorways and railway, because of off-standard dimensions and heaviness of the cargo, with the help of lowboys, allowing the quick loading and unloading of equipment and the provision of a secure attachment. However, the off-gauge cargo can be delivered via sea and air transport. Off-standard and off-gauge cargoes include, for example, outsized vessels, turbines, steam boilers, complicated metal structures, plant equipment, construction and road machinery, tower cranes and etc., which have the specific shape, weight and dimensions and require individual calculations at the loading and transportation.

The off-gauge cargo transportation is also accompanied by the execution of multiple documents and permits from authorized organizations of the destination country. Furthermore, in each case it requires the careful arrangement of the cargo movement route, and also the provision of its safety, arrangement of its escorting and professional performance of handling operations. All road features, the presence or absence of such obstacles as power lines, bridges and railroad crossings are considered when arranging the route. In addition, the time of day, season, weather and climate conditions, and also other factors, which may affect the transportation safety, are taken into consideration. Thus, the off-gauge cargo transportation is essentially unique, therefore transportation rates are calculated individually for each cargo.
