Expert Solutions for Oversize Cargo & Heavy Equipment Transport

The transportation of heavy equipment and large-scale structures requires engineering precision. Oversize cargo transport is the pinnacle of logistics, where every project is unique. Lazarus Logistics specializes in delivering objects with parameters that exceed standard limits across our entire map of Destinations.

We do not just provide transport; we design the route. Whether it involves heavy equipment transport, industrial reactors, or long pipes, our team ensures the safety of the cargo and road traffic along the entire journey, from Europe to the countries of Central Asia.

Oversize Cargo Transport & Project Logistics

cargo 1

Own Fleet of Specialized Vehicles

To implement projects, we use specialized rolling stock. At our disposal are lowbed trailers, extendable telescopic trailers, and modular systems. Hiring a trailer for oversize load shipping is selected strictly according to the weight and center of gravity of your cargo.

Permits and Escort

Legality of transport is the guarantee of no fines or delays. We take care of obtaining special permits in all transit countries. If necessary, we organize the escort of OOG cargo with pilot cars and road police patrols.

Multimodal Schemes

Super-heavy loads often cannot be delivered solely by Road Freight. We combine sea transport (using Flat Rack containers or Break Bulk services) with further transloading onto rail platforms or heavy-duty trailers via our Multimodal Transport solutions. This allows delivering equipment from the Americas or China to landlocked regions.

Engineering Survey

Before movement begins, we conduct a detailed route survey. Our specialists check the load-bearing capacity of bridges, tunnel heights, and turning radii to guarantee that the transport of oversized cargo proceeds without obstruction.

How Project Logistics Is Organized

Complex logistics does not tolerate improvisation.
We work according to a strict algorithm:

1. Drawing Analysis

You send the specification and equipment drawings. We calculate loading and securing schemes.

2. Route Preparation

Obtaining approvals from road owners and utility services (e.g., for lifting power lines).

3. Loading & Securing

Control of rigging operations. Using chains and belts for reliable fixation on the platform.

4. Transportation

Movement according to the agreed schedule (often at night) to the receiver’s warehouse with final customs clearance.

What We Haul: Types of Oversize Cargo

Our competencies allow us to work with cargo of any complexity for the oil & gas, construction, and agricultural sectors.

Construction and Agricultural Machinery

One of the most frequent requests is construction machinery transport: combines, excavators, bulldozers, and cranes. We deliver machinery from factories in Europe (Germany, Italy, Belgium) to Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and other Asian countries. For wheeled machinery, we use front-loading lowbeds, which reduces the total height of the road train.

Industrial Equipment

International oversize transport often includes the delivery of entire production lines, turbines, transformers, and tanks. For such projects, we utilize heavy haulage strategies, ensuring the transloading of heavyweights at ports and railway stations using high-capacity cranes.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is considered oversize cargo?

Standardly, this is cargo that, together with the vehicle, exceeds these dimensions: length 20 m, width 2.55 m, height 4.0 m, or weight over 38-40 tons. Parameters may differ slightly in different countries.

Is insurance included?

Yes, project logistics is unthinkable without coverage. We insure the forwarder’s liability and the cargo itself “against all risks” for the full value via our Cargo Insurance service.

How fast is the permit obtained?

Timelines depend on transit countries. In Europe, it takes from 1 to 3 weeks; in Central Asia, up to 10-14 days. We recommend booking heavy equipment transport services in advance.
