MAKING OVER-DIMENSION, OVERWEIGHT, SPECIALIZED AND SUPER TRANSIT SIMPLE AND SAFE

Transporting heavy loads over long distances is already a challenge. Whether it is local, regional, or long-haul transportation, Rangeland dedicates itself to heavy haul transportation and rigging, you want your items to arrive on-time and stay safe along the way. When working with over-dimension, overweight and specialized loads, this becomes even more complex. All loads require unique care and attention to ensure safe transit and delivery. Rangeland Truck and Crane provides complete over-the-road transportation services and management for loads of all types, including over-dimension, overweight, and specialized.

OVER-DIMENSION, OVERWEIGHT, SPECIALIZED AND SUPER

Not all cargo fits neatly on a flatbed or in a shipping container. Some of the most important materials and pieces of machinery exceed the weight or width or of regular over-the-road transportation. In this case, you need experts who know how to operate heavy-duty transportation and navigate provincial and state regulations. We can provide trailers with legal axle spacing to balance and distribute loads so that heavy and oversized units can cross bridges and travel over highways that might be banned under normal conditions. 

We are experienced with over-dimension, overweight and specialized shipping nationwide, and we can provide the essential transportation and management services you need to make this trip safely, on time and on budget.

Legal load dimensions and weights vary from province to province and state to state, and depend on the kind of transportation and loads that you are working with. Obtaining permits for these loads means working with provincial and state regulations and paying fees according to the route, weight, dimensions, and other complex factors. Our team can take care of these concerns for you, and plan the best possible course according to the requirements of the load. Careful planning and permits beforehand helps to ensure a smooth trip, protecting your cargo, preventing legal hassles, and staying safe on the road.

ROUTE PLANNING FOR OVERWEIGHT AND OVER-DIMENSION LOADS

Careful route planning before transport helps to ensure that your shipment arrives via the safest and most direct possible route. Depending on the dimension and weight of the load, some routes may not be possible due to height restrictions, sharp turns, weight limits, or road safety concerns. A route survey serves to validate a proposed transportation route while ensuring to the travelling public, transport personnel, and your cargo.

The type of load may also require special permits, such as those for transporting hazardous materials, safety equipment, or additional inspections or surveys. The Rangeland team has successfully transported a wide range of over-dimension and overweight equipment for a number of industries, including petrochemical refining, renewable energy, natural gas, and more. Hiring Rangeland to complete a full route study will provide the best possible assurance your specialized cargo will arrive safely and in a timely manner.

An experienced member of our team will physically drive the proposed route to identify the following:

·        Physical obstacles (Power lines, bridges, signs, vegetation, etc.)

·        Insufficient turning radius

·        Parking areas

·        Railway crossings

·        Site access

·        Route improvements

·        Current construction and route conditions

Upon completion of the physical survey, our in-house engineers will compile the physical data into a report detailing the following:

·        Recommended and maximum shipping envelopes

·        Route mapping

·        Regionally specific transport regulations

·        Utility and emergency stakeholders

·        Permit pre-submissions

·        Seasonal transportation restrictions

·        Estimated travel time

·        Trailer configurations

·        Pilot vehicle requirements

·        Convoy restrictions

·        Bridge engineering
