Escort for oversize cargo in Kazakhstan
Wide or tall loads travel with a pilot car and sometimes with a police patrol. We arrange both and survey the route in advance, so the convoy never gets stuck at a bridge or power line.
When a pilot car is required
A pilot car is needed when width, length or height is exceeded, or when the vehicle has to use the oncoming lane. We determine it by calculation, and the requirement is written into the permit.
Route survey
- Clearance under bridges, overpasses and power lines
- Turning radii and road width
- Detours agreed with road owners
- A clearance check under bridges for loads above 4.5 m
Driving rules
Outside built-up areas oversize loads move in daylight only, at reduced speed and slower still on bridges. We build this into the delivery time from the start.
Frequently asked questions
Do I pay for the police patrol?
The police patrol car is provided by the state free of charge. We only charge for lawful coordination and waiting time, as a separate line.
Who is responsible for the convoy?
We are. The operator stays in touch with the driver and the pilot car, and you follow progress in the portal.
Can oversize loads move at night?
Not outside built-up areas; daylight only. We calculate oversize delivery times around daylight hours.
