Safe, compliant transport of oversized and high-risk loads anywhere in Australia, backed by specialised permits, expert route planning, and professional traffic control.
Abnormally Large High-Risk OSOM (Oversize Overmass) Load Movements involve transporting extremely large vehicles or cargo that exceed standard road limits in Australia. These movements include loads wider than 8.5 metres, longer than 50 metres, or those requiring special safety measures due to their size and weight. Such movements pose significant challenges to road infrastructure, traffic flow, and public safety. These loads require special permits, often involve night-time travel (typically 9:30 pm–5:00 am in urban areas), detailed planning, expert traffic management, and strict safety plans (OSOM-TMP) to protect roads and public safety. Compliance with all relevant Australian transport regulations is mandatory. Key steps include route surveys, traffic escorts, and coordination with utility providers for overhead line clearances. Whether moving mining equipment or industrial parts, these operations demand expert planning to avoid fines, delays, and infrastructure damage.
We start with detailed route surveys to check road widths, bridge heights, and obstacles. We conduct thorough pre-movement route surveys using GPS mapping and digital tools to identify potential obstacles and clearance issues. Next, we design OSOM-TMP plans with traffic escorts, night schedules, contraflow arrangements, contingency protocols and breakdown backups. For loads over 4.3m tall, we coordinate with Western Power to lift lines safely. Our engineers certify load stability and route safety, while pilot vehicles manage rolling roadblocks and traffic flow. We coordinate with all relevant authorities, including Australian transport authorities, utility providers, and local councils, to secure necessary approvals and permits. Our certified traffic controllers implement rolling roadblocks and oversee pilot vehicle operations. With GPS mapping and real-time updates to transport authorities, we ensure your oversized load moves smoothly and on schedule, helping you deliver your project successfully.
Moving oversized loads isn’t just about size, it’s about safety and compliance. Roads have strict limits: loads wider than 8.5m often require rolling roadblocks, while heights over 4.3m need power line adjustments. Without expert planning, you risk bridge strikes, traffic disruptions, or permit cancellations. Transport authorities audit every route survey and traffic plan to ensure full compliance. Professional managers understand the technical requirements including contraflow arrangements, pilot vehicle positioning, bridge load assessments, and infrastructure protection measures. Our team handles complex rules, like securing contraflow approvals, protecting pavements, and coordinating with councils and Aboriginal authorities. For high-risk loads, professional management isn’t optional, it’s the only way to move legally and safely.
