Problems and solutions

Why large size is difficult

Standard freight forwarders refuse oversized items or add unpredictable surcharges. This is exactly what we specialize in.

Typical problems
  • Incomprehensible total cost: permits, escort, crane - everything is added separately

  • Permits take 5–10 days and delay shipping

  • Fear of damage during non-standard loading and difficult routes

  • Not all routes allow oversized cargo: bridges, tunnels, height restrictions

Solutions OZTA
  • We fix the full cost before shipment: freight + permits + loading + insurance - no hidden extras along the way

  • We apply for a permit in parallel with the preparation of transport - no time is wasted waiting

  • Specialized securing for the type of cargo, support along the route and mandatory insurance

  • We plan the route in advance, taking into account restrictions. There is always an alternative route

Insights

How to reduce the cost of transporting oversized items

Five tricks that save money and time.

  • Disassembly

    Disassembling means saving

    If the equipment is disassembled to standard dimensions (up to 20 m × 2.55 m × 4.0 m), special permits are not required. The cost of permits is from $500, the wait is 5–10 days. Plus, standard freight is 30–50% cheaper than oversized freight.

  • Permissions

    Permits are expired

    Special permits for the transportation of oversized items are valid for 1–3 months. If you delay sending it, the permit will expire and you will need to get a new one. We prepare the transport and issue the permit at the same time, saving up to 10 days.

  • Insurance

    Insurance for oversized cargo is different

    The standard rate of 0.3% does not work for large cargo. Correct rate: 0.5–1.5% depending on the category of cargo. One incorrectly insured flight can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

  • Weight

    Up to 10 tons - more profitable than LTL

    Most shippers of large cargo automatically take dedicated transport. But up to 10 tons or 30 m³, LTL groupage is often cheaper. Dedicated transport is needed from 15+ tons or with strict time requirements.
