Heavy Haul, Machinery, Over-sized and Overweight shipments
Heavy Haul shipments can pose special challenges for customers. Often times a shipment is both over-sized as well as overweight in nature and therefore may require special routing in order to travel only on the highways that permit vehicle weights that can accommodate them in the Canada and United States.
They may also require the purchase of special permits issued by the various governmental agencies, Provinces, States, and municipalities through which your shipment will travel.
The experienced team at FARGO Transportation has the knowledge and the required equipment that can handle your Heavy Haul trucking needs.
Heavy Haul Trucking Details
When a flatbed or stepdeck trailer is insufficient due to the shipment being too tall, wide or heavy, a heavy haul trucking method is your only option, equipment that may be required for heavy haul are:
- Double Drops
- Extendable Trailers
- Removable Goosenecks (RGN)
- Stretch Trailers
- Trailers may be 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 13 and 20 axle
In Canada and U.S. a heavy haul is a truck tractor with an attached trailer that has an over sized or overweight object on it that exceeds the regular permit limits commonly associated with oversize or overweight cargo. Both the size and weight of a heavy haul are regulated by the jurisdiction the cargo is moving through and it varies province to province and state to state. An oversize load including tractor and trailer may exceed the standard legal dimensions of 13’6″ in height and 8’6″ in width with the proper permits. An overweight load must consist of a single unit to be shipped that will exceed the total legal gross weight of 80,000 lbs for the truck, trailer and cargo shipped.
Legal Requirements for Heavy Haul cargo
Knowing how to deal with the legal considerations, permits and the technical challenges of pulling a heavy haul load is crucial to having a successful oversized cargo shipment.
Canada and United States require that certain oversize loads need to have certified Pilot/Escort Vehicle Operators (P/EVO) to safely escort the over sized cargo from its beginning location to its final destination without any damage to the cargo, motorists, highways, roads, bridges, control devices, signs, wires, overhanging objects or property.
FARGO Transportation will manage the transportation of your heavy haul shipment from start to finish, including obtaining special permits for each Province and/or State – and county permits as needed, pilot cars or other escort vehicles and any additional equipment required to move your heavy haul load in a safe manner. Our team will arrange the logistics for even the most challenging shipments your company may need delivered in a safe, timely and cost competitive manner.
