Plan and commission a heavy haulage run
As soon as length, width, height or weight exceed the legal limits, a transport becomes a permit procedure. Your request goes to partner forwarders who run that procedure daily.
We broker this transport to partner forwarders
Oversize and heavy haulage requires official permits, approved routes and, depending on the dimensions, escort vehicles. Maxmove does not hold those permits itself.
You describe the load, dimensions, date and route. We collect the quotes from vetted partner forwarders and come back with a concrete proposal, so you do not run the coordination yourself.
When a transport counts as heavy haulage
German construction and operating regulations set the limits. If a load exceeds them in length, width, height or gross weight, it needs a permit under section 29 or an exemption under section 46 of the road traffic regulations. Typical cases are construction machinery, boilers, transformers and precast concrete.
Permit and route are linked
The permit is applied for at the responsible road traffic authority and covers one defined route. Bridge loads, clearance heights and roundabouts are all checked, which is why the route co-determines how long approval takes and what the transport ends up costing.
Escorts and time windows
Depending on the dimensions, escort vehicles or an escort with police powers are added, and in some cases movement is restricted to night hours. These conditions are set in the permit and are not negotiable, so they belong in the schedule from the start.
