Truck and heavy vehicle transport

Moving a truck is a heavy-haul job. Weight, axle configuration and whether the vehicle drives determine the equipment, and often the permits too. Carriers that handle this work need precise data before they can put a price on it.

Driven under own power or on a low loader

A road-legal tractor unit is usually driven, sometimes with a trailer attached on the same trip. Non-running trucks, vehicles without plates and units sold for parts travel on a low loader, which is substantially more expensive and needs route planning around weight limits.

Weight, permits and routing

Once the combined weight of the trailer and the load rises, national limits for heavy transport come into play. Bridges, tunnels and city access rules can force a longer route, and permits are issued per country — allow lead time on international moves.

Auctions, exports and fleet renewal

Many truck movements originate from auctions, fleet renewal or export sales. Auction sites have strict collection deadlines, so state the deadline in the job: it decides which carriers can realistically commit.

What to include in your request

  • Type of vehicle: tractor unit, rigid, tipper, other
  • Gross weight, length, width and height
  • Whether it drives, brakes and steers
  • Registration and insurance status
  • Collection deadline, for example an auction date
  • Loading facilities on site, such as a ramp or crane

Frequently asked questions

Is a permit always required?

Not always. A driven, road-legal truck needs none. A truck on a low loader often exceeds normal dimensions, and then permits per country apply.

Can a truck be collected from an auction site?

Yes. Give the auction reference, the collection deadline and the site's opening hours so carriers can plan the slot.

How long does an international truck move take?

A driven trip follows normal driving-time rules. Heavy transport with permits can take one to three weeks extra, depending on the countries crossed.
