Transportation of Specialized Equipment to Any Country
VELES Company pays special attention to logistics issues and selects the optimal and most economical method of transportation for each type of specialized equipment.
TRANSPORT BY LOWBOY TRAILER
The use of road transport for moving specialized equipment is always in demand. This method is typically used for transporting bulldozers, loaders, graders, excavators, and crawler cranes.
For this purpose, trailers and semi-trailers equipped with necessary equipment are used, ensuring the stability of the specialized equipment during movement and reliable delivery. Road transportation is relevant for any distance and is more economical compared to railway shipments.
ADVANTAGES
- the ability to place compact equipment in the body or on the platform of larger equipment, which reduces costs and allows for rational use of space.
DISADVANTAGES
- all routes must be coordinated with road services;
- escort by traffic police officers and preparation of a securing scheme for the specialized equipment on the platform are required;
- documents required by the legislation of the Russian Federation must be present — insurance policy, vehicle passport, or waybill.

SELF-PROPELLED DELIVERY
VELES Company uses this transportation method to deliver wheeled specialized equipment to the destination, including tractor units, dump trucks, and truck cranes with low payload capacity (on chassis).
Sometimes towing with a rigid bar is used for transporting wheeled equipment, but this method is better suited for short distances. It is important that transportation is carried out by an experienced driver who has already worked with oversized vehicles.
ADVANTAGES
- high travel speed;
- the ability to test new equipment in action;
- minimal costs.
DISADVANTAGES
- risk of accidents;
- possibility of detecting breakdowns or defects during transit, as well as any other unforeseen situations.

RAIL TRANSPORT
This method of transportation is one of the most effective when it comes to specialized equipment (which falls under heavy and oversized cargo).
ADVANTAGES
- excellent preservation of the transported specialized equipment, the ability to place several units (small and medium-sized) on one platform, reduced mechanical impact on the running gear, components, and assemblies.
DISADVANTAGES
- requirement to obtain various permits specifying everything from the route and travel speed to track congestion and other aspects; a detailed securing scheme for the specialized equipment on the platform is necessary; high cost of this transportation method.
