Transcor abnormal load convoy on a Southern African road
SOUTHERN AFRICA / ABNORMAL LOAD TRANSPORT
Specialists in abnormal load transport

ENGINEER THE
IMPOSSIBLE MOVE.

With over 30 years in transportation, Transcor’s versatile fleet and experienced team deliver abnormal loads safely and reliably across Sub-Saharan Africa.

TRANSPORT30+YEARS / EXPERIENCE
01 / POSITIONING

NOT JUST HAULAGE.
CONTROLLED MOVEMENT.

An abnormal load turns a road into a coordination problem. Transcor surveys the route, configures the fleet, coordinates the authorities and operates as an RTMS-registered carrier.

CONTROL SYSTEMEXECUTION ORDER
01 / ROUTE

Survey clearances, bridges and turning radii.

02 / FLEET

Match axles and deck geometry to the load.

03 / AUTHORITIES

Coordinate permits, escorts and movement windows.

04 / RTMS

Registered with the Road Transport Management System.

THE MACHINE
IS ONLY HALF
THE PROBLEM.

Route planning, authority liaison and a qualified team complete the transport solution around the customer’s individual needs.

03 / MOVEMENT ENVELOPE

EVERY LOAD HAS A
DOMINANT CONSTRAINT.

Mass. Length. Height. Access. The job is to identify what controls the movement, then engineer everything else around it.
