Features and rules for the transportation of industrial equipment

Transportation of industrial equipment consists of several stages. These are packaging, marking, rigging, loading into a vehicle. Proper packaging ensures the safety and security of technical devices during transportation. When choosing a packaging material, weight, dimensions, and design features of the units are taken into account. Usually, for the packaging of machine tools and bulky mechanisms, durable materials are used that are resistant to shock, weight and other mechanical loads. These are wooden boards and plywood, metal pallets and other metal support structures, cushioning materials designed to cushion impacts. Loading and unloading operations are carried out using cranes, winches, hoists and other rigging devices.

Transportation of equipment with oversized dimensions requires the use of specialized trawls and coordination of the route with representatives of the competent authorities. When choosing a route for the transportation of oversized cargo, the presence of possible obstacles is taken into account – high-voltage power lines, bridges and overpasses with limited carrying capacity. Features and rules:

• The length, width and height of a loaded vehicle do not exceed 22 meters, 2.6 meters, 4 meters, respectively.
• The maximum allowable weight of a loaded road train is 40 tons.
• The maximum permissible length of the load hanging from the back is 2 meters.
• Marking a truck with special signs.
• Failure to comply with the rules will result in penalties.

An important stage is the preparation of the truck for the flight. The driver and forwarder check the reliability of fixing the cargo in the body of the vehicle. Reliable fastening of heavy mechanisms reduces the risk of injury to people and the occurrence of an emergency. When loading, the weight load is evenly distributed over the entire area of ​​the body.

Paperwork

Transportation of machinery and equipment is carried out after the execution of accompanying documents. In addition to permission to transport oversized cargo, it is necessary to issue additional paperwork, taking into account the legislation of the country to which mechanisms and assemblies are to be delivered. In European countries, transportation of oversized cargo is carried out only at night. Coordination of the route is necessary if the truck is accompanied by representatives of the road patrol service.
