OVER SIZED LOAD IN LAND SERVICE
Before it was impossible to think that we could maneuver a machine, a car, an airplane or parts of a house. Currently, transport/freight forwarder services offer the best way to move all these loads that were very difficult to transport due to their volume.
What is oversized merchandise
We understand oversized cargo as cargo that exceeds the limits in terms of measurements permitted by law, which cannot travel in conventional transportation.
In land services we can find various means of transportation, for example; low beds/low boys that are used for very long loads such as rod, pipe, etc. Step deck has 2 platform levels and sometimes has a ramp, it is used for overly voluminous merchandise such as machinery, tractors, among others, double drops is used for loads that are too high, heavy and long since it has more than 2 modular axles and conventional platforms; These units are specially designed since they do not have a roof or side walls, which benefits cargo handling.
Regulation
In Mexico this service is regulated by the Ministry of Communications and Transportation. The transport of cargo, in addition to having a permit to circulate, must travel with pilot cars, which must accompany the unit, one in the front and another in the rear. Which generates safety during the trip, both for the merchandise and driver and for the other vehicles that transit.
Currently the handling of this cargo in land service is economical and safe due to the regulations in Mexican laws. Which means that more exporters and importers during any international or national logistics process carry out this type of movements.
For that reason, our international logistics experts at APR Cargo Group are willing to provide you with the best fully personalized support at any time; If you require more information on dimensioned cargo or another service, we will gladly help you.
