In another example, the office arranged a permit, pilot car, street furniture removal and police escorts for a 5m wide generator which was loaded on to a semi-low loader for a journey from Harwich Docks to King’s Lynn to exchange the faulty Generator with a new one and return the faulty one to Harwich Docks.
This type of extra work is not only for the benefit of our clients but to ensure a smooth out of gauge / heavy load movement by avoiding obstacles i.e., railway bridges, low bridges, motorway restrictions, weak ground, bus lanes etc and also take into consideration any requirements to remove street furniture on the route.
ALS Germany advice on any permits and documentation for out of gauge cargo movements.
