Abnormal Loads

An abnormal load is a load which due to its weight, or dimensions cannot be carried on a conventional goods vehicle and requires a special vehicle and  arrangements for its transport. We are experienced in the lifting and movement of any type of load. Usually a survey will take place prior to loading to determine the safest route and way of loading.

A vehicle/load is considered abnormal when the total length of the vehicle exceeds 16.5m, the overall width exceeds 2.55m the weight of any axle other than the driving axle exceeds 10,170kg and the weight of the driving axle exceeds 10,500kgs.

We can escort our own vehicles or we can provide our fully equipped escort vehicle service to other haulage companies. Services include permit applications, route surveying and traffic management.
