Special transport refers to the transportation of loads that exceed per-axle limits, but not overall weight limits, resulting in an overweight classification. This category encompasses a wide range of oversize and overweight loads, including construction machinery such as cranes, front loaders, backhoes, pre-built homes, containers, construction elements like bridge beams, generators, windmill propellers, rocket stages, and various industrial equipment.
Transporting oversize loads may require escorts and police assistance in certain cases, especially if the total weight exceeds 80 tonnes (79 long tons; 88 short tons) or the width extends beyond 5 meters (16 ft). Additionally, if the height of the load exceeds 4.5 meters (15 ft), a route survey becomes mandatory to ensure safe passage. In Romania, there is a thriving market for special transporters, and companies like Schnell Trans specialize in international transportation projects, offering expertise in handling such challenging shipments.
Trailers designed for special loads exhibit unique characteristics depending on factors such as the number of axles, height from the ground to the platform, extensions, and load capacity. These specialized trailers are capable of safely transporting diverse cargoes, including trams, energy transformers, construction machinery, metallic structures, and wooden boxes/crates.
