Project and Heavy Cargo Transport

Project and Heavy Cargo Transport

Project and Heavy Cargo Transport

Project and heavy cargo transport is a specialist discipline covering the end-to-end management of loads that fall outside standard transport patterns — cargo whose size, weight or shape demands special planning. Oversized loads such as industrial machinery, generators, transformers, power plant equipment, prefabricated structural elements, construction machinery and production lines cannot be moved without the right equipment, the right route and the right permit management. In this kind of transport, even the smallest planning error can damage both the cargo and the road infrastructure, and lead to serious delays and unforeseen costs. At RSS Transport, we position project transport as one of our core areas of expertise, treating each project as a separate engineering exercise within its own technical requirements. The process begins with a detailed analysis of the cargo's technical characteristics; based on its weight, dimensions, centre of gravity and lashing points, we select the appropriate lowbed, extendable platform or specially equipped trailer. Bridge weight limits, tunnel heights, curve radii and road widths along the route are examined through a detailed route survey, and alternative routes are planned where necessary. Special cargo transit permits, escort vehicle requirements and time-restricted crossing conditions in Türkiye and the transit countries are coordinated in advance by our operations team. Loading and unloading operations — including crane and site coordination — are covered within the planning scope, and the cargo is secured in accordance with international lashing and safety standards. Throughout the journey, the vehicle's position is tracked in real time via 24/7 GPS-based monitoring, with regular status updates provided to our customers. In our shipments to project sites across Europe, the Balkans, the Caucasus and the Middle East, our experienced drivers, modern fleet and meticulous operations management are all focused on delivering your cargo on schedule and undamaged. For multi-vehicle, phased projects such as factory relocations, we sequence the transport according to your production and installation plan, keeping fully in step with your project's overall timetable.

Scope of Service

  • International road transport of oversized and heavy cargo
  • Special transport solutions with lowbed and extendable platform equipment
  • Detailed route surveys covering bridge, tunnel and road restrictions
  • Management of special cargo transit permits and escort organisation
  • On-site coordination of loading, unloading and crane operations

Who Is It For?

This service is suitable for companies in the energy, construction, mining and manufacturing sectors that need to move machinery and equipment which cannot be carried on standard vehicles to project sites abroad. Organisations with multi-phase projects — plant relocations, line installations or site mobilisations — can also benefit from our end-to-end planning approach.

Operational Process

01

Cargo Analysis and Survey

The cargo's dimensions, weight and technical characteristics are examined; where necessary, a survey is carried out at the loading site.

02

Equipment and Route Planning

The appropriate lowbed or special equipment is selected; every restriction along the route is assessed through a route survey.

03

Permit and Escort Coordination

Special cargo permits for the transit countries are obtained, and any required escort organisation is planned in advance.

04

Loading and Securing

The cargo is loaded with crane and site coordination, and secured in accordance with international standards.

05

Transport and Real-Time Monitoring

The vehicle is monitored 24/7 via GPS throughout the journey; status updates are provided at critical crossing points.

06

Delivery and Project Closure

The cargo is delivered at the destination site in the planned sequence; the process is completed with an operations report.

Frequently Asked Questions

Loads exceeding standard vehicle dimensions or legal weight limits are considered oversized. Send your cargo's dimensions and weight to info@rsstransport.com.tr and our team will assess the scope and propose the right transport solution.

Permit lead times vary with the countries on the route and the cargo's characteristics. That is why we recommend starting project transport planning early; we build the permit processes into the transport schedule from the outset, minimising the risk of delays.

Yes — on request, crane and site coordination at the loading and unloading points is included in the project plan. This way, the entire operation is managed from a single point.

All of our vehicles are equipped with GPS devices monitored 24/7. The vehicle's position is tracked in real time throughout the journey, and you receive regular updates at critical stages.
