Question 1

What is oversized transport and when do you need it?

Accepted Answer

Oversized transport (also called abnormal load or special transport) is required when a shipment exceeds the standard legal dimensions or weight limits for road transport in a given country. In most EU countries this means loads wider than 2.55m, taller than 4m, longer than 18.75m, or heavier than 40 tonnes. Special permits, escort vehicles, and route planning are required.

Question 2

Which countries does Special Transport euroExpress operate in?

Accepted Answer

We operate across 18+ European countries including Slovakia, Austria, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Italy, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Switzerland, Spain, and Portugal.

Question 3

How far in advance should I book heavy haulage transport?

Accepted Answer

For cross-border oversized transport in Europe, we recommend booking at least 2–4 weeks in advance to allow time for permit applications in all transit countries. Some countries require up to 3 weeks for permit processing. Emergency and urgent transports can often be arranged faster — contact us to discuss your timeline.

Question 4

How long does it take to get a special transport permit in Slovakia?

Accepted Answer

In Slovakia, standard special transport permits are typically issued within 5–10 working days. Urgent permits can sometimes be obtained faster. Permits are issued by the Slovak Road Administration (Slovenská správa ciest). We handle the full permit application process on behalf of our clients.

Question 5

What is the maximum load size you can transport?

Accepted Answer

We handle loads of all exceptional sizes. Our experience includes widths up to 8m, heights up to 6m, and weights exceeding 200 tonnes using multi-axle modular trailers. Each shipment is assessed individually and a custom transport plan is prepared.

Question 6

Do you provide 24/7 support during transport?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our operations team provides round-the-clock monitoring and support for all active transports. A dedicated coordinator is available throughout the entire journey to handle any issues with authorities, road conditions, or scheduling.
