Special Projects

Whoa there, that’s a big statement; but then problem solving comes with the territory.

FreightPal offer expert solutions for moving ‘out of gauge’ cargo and special projects worldwide using specialist equipment and shipping methods. Apart from the obvious  challenges of deciding the best mode and type of transport, the logistical challenge includes the right movement permits, obtaining cross border authorizations where necessary and chosen routes must be considered and approved.

We don’t want the cargo sinking on a side road or getting stuck under a low bridge.

By the way, not all oversize cargo looks spectacular when on the move. Boring old heavyweights need just as much attention.

Risk assessment and local Health and Safety regulations are to be met and the whole project needs be carried out with impeccable precision and military timing. Our most recent project was moving disused plant and machinery from the USA to Scotland presented its own logistical challenges.

It was decided more economical and practical to ship rather than try and replace the equipment and we were available to assist. We brought in Special Handling equipment and obtained the special permission necessary to close roads and arrange traffic escort after presenting a Health and Safety report and Risk Assessment to the authorities.

Moving special equipment always looks impressive but it can mean sleepless nights and early mornings to comply with movement regulations.
