PEKAES, your Pangea partner in Poland and leading logistics operator, transported a non-standard oversized load from Spain to Poland. The 54 tonne load travelled almost 2.5 thousand km with the participation of Spanish, French, German, and Polish escort services.
The transport of oversized loads always constitutes a significant logistical challenge related to the preparation of the transport set, the fulfilment of the specified legal requirements, and the involvement of the appropriate services. This time, the non-standard order for PEKAES involved the transport of industrial pressure equipment for the agricultural sector worth almost PLN 2.5 million. The transport of the load from Barcelona to Poland took 8 days and was carried out with a special escort.
“The transport of a 54-tonne machine across Europe can be considered a so-called “special task” due to its weight and non-standard dimensions. More than a dozen persons were involved in the operation, including the forwarders supervising the transport, the escort services from the individual countries along the route, as well as entities that organise special permits for the transport of oversized loads and bridge assessments. Thanks to close cooperation between all parties, the load arrived in Poland as planned”, said Maciej Bachman, the CEO of PEKAES.
“Of course, these types of operations require special planning. Such a transport set needed to be selected so, that the total weight and the pressure per axle would allow for the minimisation of the number of bridge assessments in the case of the realisation of such heavy transports. Thanks to the optimum selection of a multiple axis trailer, it was only necessary to check the strength of just two bridges, which was appreciated by the Client due to the reduction of the costs of bringing the equipment to Poland”, adds Robert Alot, Oversized Transport Department Manager, PEKAES.
The service of transporting oversized loads was introduced by PEKAES with Clients that wish to transport loads with non-standard dimensions or large weights such as steel structures, industrial, construction, and agricultural machinery and equipment, as well as other oversized loads such as yachts and rail vehicles in mind. Thanks to the use of different means of transport, oversized loads can be transported to almost anywhere in the world.
