Automobile cargo transportation

Transportation of oversized cargo in Russia is a complex logistical task that requires compliance with a number of technical, legal and organizational requirements.

Oversized cargo is cargo whose dimensions or weight exceed the permissible parameters for standard transportation established by law. Oversized cargo includes large-sized building structures, machines, pipes, transformers, special equipment, tanks, etc.

Features

Here are the main features of transporting such cargo.

1. Transport.
   Special vehicles are used for transportation: low-deck platforms, lowboys, tractors with trailers. Transport must be equipped with fasteners and locks to ensure the safety of the cargo.
2. Obtaining permits.
   Special permits for transportation are required. They are issued by the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate. The permit takes into account the route, dimensions of the cargo, axle load and road conditions.
   If the route passes through several regions, coordination is carried out with each subject of the Russian Federation.
3. Route Organization
   The route is developed taking into account restrictions on bridge height, road width, bridge load capacity and road surface conditions.
   It is important to take into account weather conditions, especially in winter, when roads may be less accessible.
   In some cases, transportation may only be permitted at night or in conditions of minimal traffic to prevent traffic jams.
4. Cargo Escort
   In some particularly important cases, escort by cover vehicles and traffic police inspection is required. Escort guarantees the safety of other road users and prevents damage to infrastructure.
5. Marking
   Oversized cargo must be equipped with warning signs, reflective elements and, in some cases, flashing beacons.

Typical Difficulties

During the transportation of oversized cargo, difficulties may arise due to the specifics of the cargo.

• Infrastructure barriers: narrow bridges, tunnels, low power lines.
• Climate conditions: snowfalls, icy roads, washed-out areas in the off-season.
• Coordination: the duration of the procedure for obtaining permits and approvals.
