152 t and 4.7 m: a super-heavy benchmark on Poti–Red Bridge

Early in 2026 Gianti Logistics moved six Wärtsilä gas engines from the Port of Poti (Georgia) to Kazakhstan. Each unit weighed 152 tonnes and exceeded 4.7 m in height. Per Mega Move Alliance this is claimed as the heaviest cargo ever moved on the Poti–Red Bridge corridor.

Before departure: 2D/3D simulations, method statements, a full bridge analysis along the route (allowable tonnage, trailer position on the span, speed limits, no simultaneous crossings). The super-heavy permit class was worked with Georgian road authorities in weekly technical sessions — a scale not previously executed in-country. At the port: controlled discharge onto hydraulic modules and a synchronised loading of 56 trucks.

This is someone else’s haul, not Gateway Logistics. For OOG practice in the Caucasus it is a useful benchmark: without bridge engineering and a permit that matches the gauge, even a strong lowbed does not roll. Height at 4.7 m cuts overpasses before mass cuts axles. Planning Georgia → border → Caspian / Kazakhstan, build in bridge survey and special-permit lead time — before you lock a ferry date.
