Heavy cargo transportation; It is the name given to the domestic or international transportation of loads of a size and weight that cannot technically be transported by normal trucks or trailers. It is very important that it is carried out with a professional team, because engineering knowledge is required for this type of transportation. The process of transporting the cargo in a short time and safely can only be carried out by experts in the field. Heavy load transportation is also called lowbed transportation on international platforms. The name Lowbed comes from semi-trailers specially produced for this mode of transportation. It is also called “road train” among the public due to its length.
Heavy load transportation cannot be done by small-scale transportation companies. According to international and domestic road transport regulations, trailers are specially produced for the transportation of loads of large or tons that cannot be carried by normal trucks, outside the standards. These are called lowbeds. Lowbeds are preferred because the roads are damaged during the transportation of loads over a certain weight. Since these loads move very slowly, special transportation is needed; Low beds provide ease of transportation and ensure balance.
The weight of the loads carried in heavy cargo transportation is limited to 150 tons on the highway. For loads that cannot be transported by road, sea transportation is used. There are ships specifically manufactured for heavy cargo transportation.
It is necessary to analyze the load before setting off. After the analysis, the carrying condition for the load is determined. The freight is then loaded via work machines. As a result of the analysis, the transportation process begins in line with the route determined according to the location to which the freight needs to reach. It is also important that the team is professional on the road. It is necessary for them to know the international road rules and shape the transactions accordingly. Additionally, not having the vehicle stuck at customs and insuring it shows the professionalism of the logistics company.
