Heavy Transport

Heavy transport refers to transports where the weight and / or size of the loaded vehicle exceeds the values permitted in road traffic. To be precise, a distinction can also be made between HEAVY and LARGE transport. Mostly, however, heavy transport is used as an umbrella term for both.

Accordingly, in everyday practice there are 3 variants of transports:

• A transport that is not too big, but too heavy.
• A delivery that is not too heavy, but too big.
• A transport that exceeds the permitted dimensions in both weight and size.
