Heavy Haul Help Desk: Frequently Asked Questions
In South Africa, abnormal load transport refers to moving cargo that’s simply too big or heavy for regular trucks—think oversized mining equipment, wind turbine blades, or industrial machinery. These loads exceed legal size limits (over 2.5m wide, 4.3m high, 18m long, or 56 tons) and require special permits, safety protocols, and often police escorts to keep everyone safe on the road.
At Multistrada Logistics, we specialise in this complex haulage using lowbed trailers, extendable flatbeds, and other heavy-duty equipment—all operated by certified professionals. Whether it’s a cross-border delivery or a tricky urban route, we handle the regulations, logistics, and safety so you don’t have to.
