What is Oversized Cargo Transportation?

Oversized cargo transportation refers to the shipping of goods that exceed the standard size or weight limits for regular transport. This type of transportation requires special planning, including the use of specialized vehicles capable of handling unusually large or heavy items. Such items may include heavy machinery, steel structures, and large equipment. Managing oversized cargo requires careful consideration of safety, special permits, and route control to avoid potential obstacles during transport.

Examples of Goods Classified as Oversized Cargo

Goods classified as oversized cargo are typically items that exceed the size and weight limits for regular transportation. Examples include large industrial machinery, such as large generators, construction machinery like bulldozers or cranes, steel structures used in construction, and large agricultural equipment. These items require detailed planning for transportation and the use of specialized vehicles to ensure safe and efficient delivery.

Types of Vehicles Used for Oversized Cargo Transportation

SGL THAILAND, a specialized oversized cargo transport company, focuses on providing transportation services for large items using vehicles suited to the specific needs of clients. Primarily, we utilize trucks and trailers designed for the transportation of oversized, heavy cargo that requires detailed route planning. Our expert team assesses the characteristics of the goods to select the appropriate vehicle, ensuring the cargo arrives safely and on time.

10-Wheeled Trucks

10-wheeled trucks are one of the vehicles used for transporting large, heavy goods. These trucks can carry items weighing between 15-20 tons, making them ideal for transporting medium-sized machinery, steel structures, and large industrial goods that are still within the standard transport limits. 10-wheeled trucks are more versatile than larger vehicles and can access more complicated areas, offering flexibility for various types of shipments.

Semi-Trailer Trucks (Truck and Trailer)

Semi-trailer trucks are designed to haul oversized, heavy goods that exceed standard transport limits, such as large machinery, construction equipment, or long oversized cargo. These vehicles can efficiently transport goods weighing several dozen tons and are well-suited for long-distance transport of large items that require specialized routes.
