01 / Geography

Corridors

The geography of oversized road haulage. A given run depends on dimensions, mass, ferries and national permits in each transit country.

  1. 01CN

    China

    Eastern origin. Khorgos and road moves for OOG.

  2. 02KZ

    Kazakhstan

    Base. Transit and permit coordination.

  3. 03AZ

    Azerbaijan

    Caspian ferry and Caucasus exit.

  4. 04UZ

    Uzbekistan

    Central Asia, road moves.

  5. 05IR

    Iran

    North–south corridor. Road moves for oversized and project cargo.

  6. 06GE

    Georgia

    Caucasus, Black Sea and westbound exit.

  7. 07AM

    Armenia

    Caucasus lanes.

  8. 08TR

    Turkey

    Western exit of the Eurasian corridor.

Project cargo

Project cargo

Delivery of equipment for industrial and energy projects: route survey, permits, escort, and a road, rail and ferry plan. Coordination with EPC contractors. The portfolio includes COSCO, the Masdar solar plant in Bilasuvar, and SOCAR.

Rail

Rail freight forwarding

Wagons — covered wagons and gondolas — containers and container flatcars. Stations: Khorgos, Altynkol, Dostyk and Alashankou. Khorgos–Almaty, Khorgos–Astana and all regions of Kazakhstan. Onward: Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Iran, Turkmenistan.

02 / Equipment

OOG, lowbed, road train

A lowbed trailer carries heavy and out-of-gauge pieces: 45 t, 5 axles and 90 t, 10 axles. A curtainsider road train is a truck and full trailer with two bodies, about 145 m³, for volume cargo.

Fleet
  • OOG / oversized

    Length, width, height or axle load outside the legal limits. The plan starts from the actual cargo and the route.

  • Lowbed

    Lowbed, often extendable. Length, clearance, cargo you cannot put on a standard deck. In the fleet: 45 t / 5 axles and 90 t / 10 axles.

  • Curtainsider road train

    Curtainsider road train: truck and a matching full trailer. Combined volume about 145 m³. For volume cargo under curtains.

03 / Services

What we take on

Road OOG and project equipment, the ferry connection and the permit chain across corridor countries. Rail forwarding covers wagons, containers and container flatcars.

All services
  • 01

    Oversized cargo

    Haulage outside the legal limits and axle norms. The plan starts from real length, width, height, mass and which bridges and ramps will accept the combination.

  • 02

    Project cargo

    Delivery of equipment for industrial and energy projects: route survey, permits, escort, a road, rail and ferry plan, and coordination with EPC contractors.

  • 03

    Permits and route survey

    OOG needs national permits in each transit country, sometimes escorts. Survey means overpass height, load rating, turning into site. Each country on the route issues its own permit.

  • 04

    Eurasian corridors

    China, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Armenia, Iran, Turkey. For OOG the ferry queue and the national permit chain usually outlast the highway kilometres.

Typical cargo

  • Transformers

    Concentrated mass: axles, ramps, bridges and trailer length decide together.

  • Tanks and vessels

    Diameter and length. Often an extendable lowbed plus a height survey.

  • Steel structures

    Length and overwidth. The road plan is agreed separately from splicing on site.

  • OOG equipment

    Skids, heavy plant, out-of-gauge machines. The plan starts from size and axles.

04 / Turnkey

Turnkey OOG — permits to site

Special permits, route, lashing, escort where required, and in-transit control through delivery.

  • 01

    Special permits

    National permits are issued separately in each transit country.

  • 02

    Route

    Survey and approval: overpasses, bridges, ferry, turning and the last mile into site.

  • 03

    Lashing and loading

    A lashing and loading plan from the real dimensions and mass.

  • 04

    Escort

    An escort where the dimensions or the national rule require one.

  • 05

    In-transit control

    Combination status, the ferry queue and deviations, during the haul.

06 / FAQ

OOG: frequent questions

What counts as OOG in Kazakhstan, which permits you need, lowbed versus curtainsider road train, and what to send for a quote.

All questions

What counts as OOG in Kazakhstan?

OOG is a load or combination outside the length, width, height or axle limits for the road section. A standard 40-foot container on an ordinary trailer usually stays within those limits. Working market cues: width over 2.55 m, height over 4 m from the road, excess combination length or axle load. The exact threshold is the rule on that section and the vehicle type. The plan starts from the actual cargo and the route.

Which permits and route approval are required?

OOG needs national special permits in each transit country and, as a rule, a route approval: overpasses, bridges, ferry, access into site. For Kazakhstan that is a heavy and oversized haul permit; further along the corridor each of China, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Armenia, Iran and Turkey has its own regime. Each country issues its own permit. Issue time often outlasts the highway kilometres.

What do you need for a quote?

A quote starts from the parameters. Send length, width, height, mass, origin and destination, known axle limits and timing. From that we match the combination, permits and a ferry if the route uses one. The request form collects the same fields.
