Delivery of oversized cargo from the Netherlands - Belarus with customs clearance 

The Netherlands exports goods, natural gas, diamonds, and large industrial equipment to various countries. Road, sea, and air transport are used.

In Belarus, cargo from Holland arrives via road due to its location. This type of delivery is the most cost-effective and efficient. The main thing is to choose the right vehicle and develop a route.

What cargo arrives in Belarus from the Netherlands

From the Netherlands to Belarus, mostly oversized cargo is transported:

• agricultural machinery;
• industrial equipment, production lines;
• bridge supports, beams;
• transformers;
• power plants;
• wind power plants;
• construction machinery;
• ships and yachts;
• metal structures.

For transporting such cargo, special equipment is required – low loaders, platforms, jumbos. In addition, for transporting objects with a width of up to 4.5 m, a length of up to 50 m, and a weight of up to 100 tons, one accompanying car is required. For a truck with parameters exceeding these figures, two accompanying cars are required. The escort is carried out by specially accredited companies.

Equipment for transporting oversized cargo: types of low loaders

To transport oversized objects, special equipment for loading and transportation is needed. Specialized platforms with a reinforced frame in the form of trailers or semi-trailers are used, which are called low loaders.

They come in two types:

• With ramps (foldable stabilizing legs), which are designed in the form of skis and controlled by a hydraulic press. This design allows self-propelled equipment to climb onto the platform independently.
• Low-bed trailer. Loading is carried out from the front at a slight angle. By changing the height of the "goose neck," the object can be loaded even in marshy areas.

How to choose a carrier with the right transport for transporting oversized objects on the freight exchange

In search of the right transport for oversized cargo, it is better to use a specialized resource. On Com-Stil, there are several options for this – searching for transport by ready-made ads or submitting your own. Both options will guarantee results.

When using your own ad, you will specify more details, thus optimizing the search. For this, use the "Add Cargo" option and fill in all the proposed fields. In addition to the loading/unloading location and date, you need to specify the object's parameters: weight, volume, type of cargo.

This information is important for the transport company that will handle the cargo. Based on the cargo parameters, the necessary special transport is selected and calculated.

The number of axles, the load on each, and the distance between them are calculated. It is important to know the loading height and length of the object. Specify the carrying capacity of the vehicle and the structure of the cargo.

In route development, the carrier considers the quality of the road surface, speed limits, and the presence or absence of tunnels and bridges on the route from Holland to Belarus.

Transporting oversized objects creates obstacles for other road users and also puts a significant load on the road surface. Special permits are required for transportation. They are issued after determining all dimensions and the type of special transport.

However, the customer does not need to handle everything independently. After finding a transport company, the carrier will take care of all these issues – obtaining permits and passes through the borders of the countries along the route of the truck.
