Over-Dimensional Cargo (ODC) Services

Heavy Machinery ODC Cargo

Specialized Low-Bed & Hydraulic Trailer Heavy Engineering Logistics

Transporting over-dimensional cargo (ODC), ultra-heavy industrial boilers, long wind-turbine blades, factory structures, and heavy machinery requires specialized low-bed trailers, hydraulic axles, route surveys, and national highway permissions. At ARL Logistics, we manage heavy engineering ODC logistics. We operate a fleet of multi-axle hydraulic trailers and low-bed carriers to execute oversized cargo movements safely across India.

We deploy highly experienced ODC drivers and pilot escort vehicles to secure transit paths. Our technical team conducts detailed route feasibility surveys to check overhead bridges, electrical lines, turning radii, and toll booth widths, ensuring safe passage for your cargo.

Standard ODC Trailer Capacity Slabs

To assist your project manager in booking the optimal hydraulic trailer class and coordinating structural dispatches, we outline our standard ODC capacity slabs below:

Trailer Class Payload Capacity Ideal Cargo Dimensions Highway Permission Level
Semi-Low Bed Trailer Up to 25.0 Metric Tons Excavators, construction machinery, factory vessels State-level transport clearance
Low Bed Heavy Trailer 25.0 - 45.0 Metric Tons Industrial boilers, heavy transformers, high-height cargo National highway transport clearance
Hydraulic Axle Puller 50.0 - 150.0+ Metric Tons Windmill turbines, heavy structural steel girders, reactors Ministry of Road Transport custom NOC
Multi-Axle Modular Trailer Custom Weight brackets Infrastructure concrete blocks, port shipments Full administrative highway escorts

Our 5-Step Secure ODC Logistics Roadmap

ARL Logistics manages over-dimensional shipments with absolute engineering precision, regulatory compliance, and route tracking:

Step 1: Route Feasibility & Clearances Survey

Our engineering team surveys the entire transit path to check bridge weights, power line heights, toll booth clearances, and road turns to secure state clearances.

Step 2: Hydraulic Trailer Allocation & Prep

We inspect the mechanical axles and hydraulic lifts, select the optimal trailer class, and position it at your loading site with structural wooden blocks.

Step 3: Crane Loading & Steel Anchoring

We manage high-capacity cranes to load the cargo, anchor it to the trailer deck using heavy steel chains and turnbuckles, and apply protective shields.

Step 4: Highway Transit with Escorts & GPS

The vehicle travels along the optimized path with pilot vehicles and flashing signals. The transit is tracked continuously using dedicated GPS systems.

Step 5: Safe Destination Unloading & POD Collection

At the delivery destination, we unload the cargo using secure crane lifts, complete the structural condition inspection, and collect the signed Proof of Delivery (POD) document.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Cargo is classified as ODC if its dimensions exceed standard container limits: typically more than 40 feet in length, 8.5 feet in width, or 9 feet in height, or if its weight requires specialized hydraulic axles to distribute payload weight.
Securing administrative clearances and Ministry NOCs for ODC transport typically takes 5 to 7 business days, depending on cargo dimensions and states crossed. We manage the entire administrative process to ensure compliance.
Yes. For cargo exceeding 12 feet in width or 50 feet in length, we provide pilot escort vehicles with active flashing signals, safety signs, and communication systems to manage traffic and ensure safe passage.
