Services

Oversized cargo, project cargo and rail

Three lines of work from Almaty: oversized road haulage, delivery of project equipment, and rail forwarding. Permits, a route survey, escort and a ferry follow the plan for the specific cargo.

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.

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.

Lowbeds and road trains

Lowbeds at 45 t, 5 axles and 90 t, 10 axles take length, height and heavy OOG. A curtainsider road train (truck and full trailer) is about 145 m³, for volume cargo. The combination is matched to the cargo.

Transformers, tanks, steel

Concentrated mass, diameter, length and width. The plan starts from axles and a route survey.

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.

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.

Turnkey

Transit-country permits, a route survey, securing, and an escort when the dimensions require one. The combination matches the cargo: a 45 t, 5-axle lowbed, a 90 t, 10-axle lowbed, or a curtainsider road train of about 145 m³.

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.

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

Lowbed or curtainsider road train?

A lowbed is for OOG and heavy cargo: 45 t, 5 axles and 90 t, 10 axles in the fleet. A curtainsider road train is a truck and full trailer with two grey curtains, about 145 m³, for volume cargo. The combination is matched to the cargo.

How does an OOG haul run?

A request with dimensions, mass and points. Then a plan: equipment, lashing, route. Special permits and approvals in the transit countries. Loading to that plan. The haul with in-transit control, a ferry and an escort if they are required. Delivery on site. This is road OOG on Eurasian corridors.

When is an escort required?

We add an escort when the dimensions or the country’s rule require one. The call comes after the route plan: width, length, section, ferry.
