Oversized cargo transport from China to Kazakhstan
Loads taller than four metres or wider than two and a half are routine for us. Usually the permit, route and escort come from three different organisations you have to deal with. Here it is one team.
What counts as oversize
- Width over 2.55 m
- Height over 4 m
- Combination length above the limit
- Mass or axle load above the limit
How we move it
- Survey and low-bed trailer selection
- Axle load calculation
- Special permit before the cargo arrives
- Check of bridges, power lines and turns
- Pilot cars and police patrol escort
Timing
A special permit takes 3–15 working days, so we apply before loading. Outside towns oversize loads move in daylight only, and that is built into the schedule.
Frequently asked questions
What does oversize transport cost?
It depends on dimensions, mass, route and crossing. Estimate the permit fee in the calculator; a full quote comes within 24 hours, 48 for complex projects.
Can I split the load to avoid a permit?
Divisible cargo must be split. Indivisible equipment travels under a special permit.
Who pays for the police escort?
The patrol car is provided by the state free of charge. We only charge for coordination and waiting time.
