Oversized Haulage UK requires an appropriate permit. If it is to be an international transport, it is necessary to have the consent of each country through which the cargo will be transported. In Poland, such documents are handled by the General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways and the heads of customs offices. The authority concerned has 14 days to issue a permit. It takes approximately the same amount of time to obtain permits in other countries, so you should plan such transport well in advance. As for travel times, oversize transport most often takes place at night, between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m., when there is less traffic on the roads.
Oversized Haulage UK – how to organize?
Organizing Oversized Haulage UK is not easy. It is worth using the help of experienced transport companies that provide such services on a daily basis. Thanks to this, the route will be planned in such a way that the transport will be carried out efficiently, appropriate types of trailers will be selected, and pilotage of such transport will be guaranteed. If necessary, police escort or PKP or MZK assistance will be provided. Additionally, the goods will be insured during the transport of oversized items.
Appropriate planning of the route is crucial in the case of oversize transport. It sometimes happens that UK roads are simply not adapted to transport such large loads. Problems may arise when driving through roundabouts or near islands with permanently installed signs. It is for this reason that it is worth entrusting the organization of transport to an experienced company that already knows what routes will be best for transporting such oversized loads.
