Out-of-gauge transportation is the process of transporting heavy loads that are not possible with standard transportation methods, using special vehicles and equipment under the management of an expert team. In out-of-gauge transportation, plans are made regarding the tonnage, weight, and how the loads will be delivered.
Special equipment is required to transport loads that cannot be shipped with containers and regular trucks.
Since both the selection of equipment and the expertise of the people who will carry out the transportation mean that the out-of-gauge transportation service will be carried out successfully, out-of-gauge transportation should be carried out by professional transportation companies that carry out heavy load transportation.
Out-of-gauge transportation also includes commercial transportation operations of companies operating in different sectors such as grain, iron/steel and scrap.
