When is a load oversize?

In the Czech Republic, a load counts as oversize (an abnormal load) when the loaded vehicle exceeds 2.55 m in width, 4 m in height, 16.5 m in length (tractor unit with semi-trailer) or a total weight of 48 tonnes. Such a transport requires a special road-use permit and, in many cases, an escort vehicle.

You don’t have to work it out yourself. Send us the dimensions and the weight and we will tell you what the transport involves – including when the permits can be ready.

Modular homes, cabins and turnkey buildings

Modular buildings and accommodation units are regular loads for us. We load the module onto a low-loader, deliver it to the plot and, working with a crane, set it on the prepared foundations. We check the route beforehand, on the map and on the road – low bridges, roundabouts and narrow streets are full of surprises.

Machinery and industrial equipment

Machine tools, presses, switchgear, HVAC units, agricultural machinery. We secure the load with chains and straps to suit its weight and centre of gravity, and cover sensitive machines with tarpaulins. At the destination we can also move the machine into its final position – see our heavy machinery moving service.

§ FAQFAQ

The questions we hear most

What dimensions require an oversize transport permit?

In the Czech Republic a permit is required when the loaded vehicle exceeds 2.55 m in width, 4 m in height, 16.5 m in length for a tractor unit with semi-trailer, or a total weight of 48 t. We obtain the permit for you.

How heavy a load can PROSNER carry?

On our own flatbed and low-loader trailers we carry oversize loads of up to 25 tonnes. Heavier transports can be organised with partner equipment, under our responsibility.

Do you provide the escort vehicle as well?

Yes, we provide an escort vehicle with warning markings. Whether an escort is required depends on the dimensions of the load and the conditions of the permit.

How far in advance should I book an oversize transport?

Allow lead time for the permits: for routine oversize loads within the Czech Republic, anything from a few days to two weeks; for international routes, longer. Get in touch as early as you can – we confirm the date once we have assessed the route.
