Oversize Cargo Land Transportation
Large cargo transportation generally refers to the transportation and distribution of large equipment. Bulky goods are goods that have advantages in weight and volume. In terms of transportation tools, bulky goods have strict requirements, which can not be transported by ordinary transportation vehicles, but by special transportation tools. Out of gauge equipment (goods) means that the loading outline dimension exceeds the vehicle gauge standard; Overweight equipment (goods) refers to the effect of the total vehicle weight on the bridge exceeding the design live load.
The standard of goods for large objects shall be specified:
（1） Overall dimensions of goods: goods with a length of more than 14 meters, a width of more than 3.5 meters or a height of more than 3 meters,
（2） Single cargo or non detachable group (bundle) cargo with a weight of more than 20 tons. Road transportation of large objects refers to the transportation of large objects on domestic roads.
Heavy cargo transportation includes two aspects: out of gauge and overweight. Large objects are divided into four levels according to their overall dimensions and weight (including packaging and support frame):
（1） Class I large objects refer to those that meet one of the following criteria:
1. The length is more than 14 meters (including 14 meters) but less than 20 meters;
2. Width greater than 3.5m (including 3.5m) but less than 4.5m;
3. Height greater than 3m (including 3M) but less than 3.8m;
4. The weight is more than 20 tons (including 20 tons) but less than 100 tons.
（2） Class II large objects refer to those that meet one of the following criteria:
1. The length is more than 20M (including 20m) but less than 30m;
2. Width greater than 4.5m (including 4.5m) but less than 5.5m;
3. The height is more than 3.8m (including 3.8m) but less than 4.4m;
4. The weight is more than 100 tons (including 100 tons) but less than 200 tons.
（3） Class III large objects refer to those that meet one of the following criteria:
1. The length is more than 30m (including 30m) but less than 40m;
2. Width greater than 5.5m (including 5.5m) but less than 6m;
3. The height is more than 4.4m (including 4.4m) and less than 5m;
4. The weight is more than 200t (including 200t) but less than 300t.
（4） Class IV large objects refer to those that meet one of the following criteria:
1. Length of 40m and above;
2. The width is 6m and above;
3. Height of 5m and above;
4. The weight is 300 tons and above.
Out of gauge equipment (goods) means that the loading outline dimension exceeds the vehicle gauge standard; Overweight equipment (goods) refers to the effect of the total vehicle weight on the bridge exceeding the design live load.
The generator stator, rotor, boiler drum, water wall, deaeration water tank, high and low pressure heater, large plate girder, etc. in large thermal power generation equipment, and the runner, upper and lower frames, rotor, stator, main shaft, stay ring, water guide mechanism, gate hoist, main transformer, auxiliary transformer, interconnection transformer, reactor, and high-voltage electrical equipment in large hydraulic power generation equipment are all over limit or overweight equipment.
Basic Requirements
1. when handling the consignment formalities, in addition to the general provisions, the shipper must submit the cargo specification, as well as the specific requirements for loading, unloading and reinforcement. In special cases, the shipper must also apply to the relevant departments for a transport permit. The carrier shall review according to the relevant information provided by the shipper, master the specific characteristics of the goods, select the appropriate vehicle, and go through the carrier formalities when it has the conditions and capacity for safe transportation.
2. the carrier shall investigate the operation site and operation route together with the shipper before shipment according to the overall dimensions and vehicle and cargo quality of large cargo, understand the road alignment and bridge and culvert capacity along the way, and formulate the transportation organization plan. If other departments are involved, they shall report to the relevant departments in advance and obtain their consent before shipment.
3. formulate technical schemes and operating procedures for cargo handling and reinforcement, and strictly implement them to ensure reasonable loading, firm reinforcement and safe loading and unloading. If the loading and unloading operation is the responsibility of the carrier, the operation shall be carried out according to the requirements of the shipper, the characteristics of the goods and the loading and unloading operation procedures. If the shipper is responsible, the carrier shall drive the vehicle to the loading and unloading place at the agreed time and supervise loading and unloading.
4. if the transportation of large goods belongs to out of gauge transportation, it shall apply to the highway management organization for the out of gauge transportation vehicle pass according to the regulations, and drive according to the approved route. When transporting large goods in urban areas, they can only be transported after being examined by the public security organ and the municipal engineering department and given a transport permit.
5. operate according to the designated route and time, and hang obvious safety signs at the longest, widest and highest parts of the goods. When driving in the daytime, hang sign flags; Sign lights shall be set at night when driving and stopping for rest to warn the traffic. Special goods shall be guided by special vehicles to remove obstacles in time.
6. the transportation cost shall be determined by both parties through negotiation. The costs of road reconstruction, bridge and Culvert Reinforcement, obstacle removal, escort, loading and unloading due to the transportation of large and special heavy objects shall be borne by the shipper.
