From load planning to route and site access.
We define the transport configuration around the load and route restrictions. We then review site access and conditions to determine how to complete delivery and any required handling.
We start with the cargo weight and dimensions in transport condition, then review bridge load limits, obstacle clearances and permit conditions. Once the transport configuration is defined, we check whether it can reach the required point at the site or needs an additional handling solution.
Explore Heavy Haul →Connect pickup, crossing and delivery.
Southern coordinates pickup, border crossing and delivery with the receiving schedule.
When the load is ready before the site can receive it, storage and staging can bridge the time between the crossing and final delivery.
