FAQ
Heavy & Project Cargo questions
What counts as oversize cargo?
In the U.S., loads typically exceeding 8.5 ft wide, 13.5 ft high or 80,000 lbs gross vehicle weight require special permits.
How far in advance should I plan a project move?
For complex moves we recommend 4–8 weeks to allow for surveys, engineering and permits, although we can expedite urgent projects.
Do you provide cargo insurance for project cargo?
Yes — tailored project cargo insurance including delay-in-start-up (DSU) cover can be arranged.
