In heavy transport, there are a number of challenges and risks that need to be overcome to ensure safe and successful transport. Here are some of the most common challenges and how they are overcome:
Road and infrastructure conditions: The size and weight of heavy loads can put a lot of stress on roads and infrastructure. Inadequate roads or bridges can pose a challenge. To overcome this challenge, specific transport routes are selected that are suitable for heavy transport. If necessary, temporary reinforcements are made to bridges or roads.
Permits and regulations: Heavy transport often requires special permits from the relevant authorities. It is important that all necessary permits are obtained in good time so as not to delay the transport. All applicable regulations and safety standards must also be observed.
Load securing: Secure load securing is crucial to avoid accidents and damage during transport. Special fastening systems and packaging are used to securely fix the load to the means of transport.
