Heavy goods transport – everything you need to know
What is heavy goods transport?
Heavy-duty transport refers to the transport of goods that cannot be transported by conventional trucks due to their weight or dimensions. These include, for example, construction machinery, wind turbines, bridge elements, or industrial equipment.
These transports require specialized vehicles, careful route planning, and official permits. They are often supported by a special transport escort to ensure maximum safety.
