Compliance
We assist our customers to obtain required permission from regulatory authorities; ensuring conditions for transporting your over dimensional freight are safe and appropriate.
Our dedicated in-house transport planners regularly arrange approvals and permits to tow all kinds of heavy oversized equipment, working with local authorities to ensure compliance with the region’s regulations.
If the transport of your over dimensional freight requires temporary road closures or the use of multiple lanes, a police escort may be required. Our project management teams will work with you to determine any requirements prior to beginning your project to ensure appropriate arrangements are made.
