Overload Transport| DB Schenker

Oversized cargo

As part of the DB SCHENKERoversized service, we offer dedicated logistic projects for consignments which require solutions designed on a case-by-case basis in view of their dimensions, weight or transport specificity.

Using a broad range of specialist means of transport, we organise dispatches of oversized cargo to various regions worldwide with the delivery to the final consignee.

Specialist transport comprises, among other things:

large steel structures
construction machinery
tanks, combines
transformers
cranes with exceeded tonnage parameters etc.

Specialist transport of oversized consignments is specific in many aspects. Each transport is determined by different dimensions, different tonnage and different route. Using the services of DB Schenker you may be sure that all necessary procedures and requirements will be met.

While preparing oversized consignments for dispatch, we place emphasis on coordination of such factors as:

obtaining special permits
development of the plan of loading and mounting individual elements
selecting an appropriate transport set
checking the transport route in the case of substantially exceeded load’s dimensions
organisation of removal of road signage, raising overhead traction lines of PKP (railway), Telecommunications company /with loads of a substantially exceeded height
the terms and condition of realisation of oversized transports in particular transport countries
allowed time of ride / bans on ride
regulations of the Highway Code
terms and conditions relating to the pilot’s assistance or the police escort preceded by drafting a detailed time schedule hour on hour,
marking the vehicle with oversized cargo

We also offer the full handling of oversized consignments, including insurance and customs clearance.

Short-term warehousing

6/10

The Coronavirus pandemic has hit global supply chains with full force. Due to changing consumer behavior, stranded shipping containers are piling up in seaports with goods that can no longer be sold due to changing consumer behavior. In addition, growing consumer demand for certain goods, for example in the food or health sector, has led to an increase in production. This has two consequences: Currently unsaleable items need to be stored temporarily and companies are having to build up safety stocks to avoid interruptions in supply.
