Exceeding dimension
We determine by which dimension (width, length or height) the cargo exceeds the legal gauge, down to the centimeter.
Planning inputs
What we clarify with your cargo before building the plan in out-of-gauge transport
Vehicle and attachment
We plan the need for an extendable trailer, lowbed or special attachment together according to the cargo dimensions.
Route and permit
According to the exceeding dimension, we determine in which countries a permit and escort are needed before departure.
Scope
In out-of-gauge transport, we carry cargo exceeding standard dimensions with special vehicles and permits.
In out-of-gauge transport on Turkey-origin Europe and Balkan lines, we carry abnormal loads that exceed the legal width, length or height limit with special vehicles. For this cargo, which a standard truck cannot carry, we use extendable trailers, lowbeds or special attachments; we design the transport together with a permit and route plan.
Before selecting the vehicle for out-of-gauge cargo, we review the exceeding dimension, the center of gravity, bridge and tunnel restrictions along the route and country legislation together. We manage the permit document and, if needed, the escort vehicle within the same operation file.
Operations
Operational topics in out-of-gauge transport
Dimension analysis
We determine by how much the cargo exceeds the legal gauge, down to the centimeter.
Special vehicle
We select an extendable platform, lowbed or attachment trailer according to the exceeding dimension.
Route plan
We map the most suitable route according to bridge, tunnel, turn and height limits.
Permit and escort
We handle the passage permit and, when needed, the escort vehicle in the same file according to country procedure.
Which sectors
Out-of-gauge transport is needed for companies in energy, industry and prefabricated production.
Energy investors, machinery manufacturers, prefabricated and steel-structure companies, tank and silo producers, along with businesses exporting large-volume equipment, need out-of-gauge transport. We evaluate the dimensions and route of your abnormal load together and recommend a workable transport and permit plan.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about out-of-gauge transport
What does out-of-gauge cargo mean?
Cargo that exceeds the legal width (usually 2.55 m), height or length limit is considered out-of-gauge and requires a special vehicle, permit and route plan.
With which vehicle is out-of-gauge cargo carried?
According to the exceeding dimension, we use an extendable platform, lowbed or special-attachment trailer; we determine the vehicle type by the size of the cargo.
Is an escort needed for every out-of-gauge load?
An escort may be required according to the exceeding dimension, the route and country legislation; we assess this together with the permit process.
How does the process work in out-of-gauge transport?
We first analyze the dimensions and route, obtain the necessary permits and plan the escort and passage hours; then we carry out the transport in a controlled way.
Which cargo is carried out-of-gauge?
Cargo exceeding standard dimensions such as large tanks, silos, prefabricated building elements, wide machines, generators and transformers is carried in this scope.
