Specialists in transporting abnormal loads, we are regularly called upon to move wide, tall and heavy loads across the UK and Europe. It’s a process requiring detailed planning, highly skilled teams and the right equipment for the job.
Route Planning
Transporting structures 80 tonnes in weight, 40 metres long or nine metres
wide requires a great deal of advance planning. A visual assessment identifies
potential problem areas and computerised mapping programmes are then used
to produce animated simulations of difficult corners and junctions.
Specialist Equipment
Our fleet includes dedicated trailers for abnormal loads, including modular
trailers with changeable axle configurations to accommodate different weights
and loads. MDF Transport’s own escort vehicles and pilot cars ensure
that all movements are carried out in the safest way possible. As well as
working closely with the British police and highway authorities, we also
have abnormal load permits for Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark
and category 1 and 2 permits for France.
Experience
There’s no substitute for experience when it comes to the complex business
of moving abnormal loads. From planning and preparation to loading and delivery,
our drivers and their support teams are specialists in the field.
