ODC & Project Cargo Transport in Chennai 

A load becomes ODC when its length, width, height or weight goes beyond the standard limits for road vehicles. Common examples are power transformers, wind turbine blades and towers, boilers, pressure vessels, reactors, columns, heavy machinery, long girders and large pipes.

Project cargo is the wider term for equipment moved for a specific industrial project, such as a power plant, refinery, factory or infrastructure build. Much project cargo is also ODC.

First we study the cargo drawings, weights and lifting points. Then we survey the route, checking bridges, turns, overhead lines, toll gates, railway crossings and road widths. Based on this, we choose the trailer type, the number of axles and any support vehicles needed.

Permits and approvals are arranged state by state for the movement. Pilot and escort vehicles manage traffic and keep the convoy safe, and the cargo is delivered and positioned at site ready for unloading.

Depending on the cargo, we use hydraulic multi-axle trailers, low-bed trailers and extendable trailers. Hydraulic trailers spread very heavy loads across many axles and can adjust height, low-beds keep tall cargo within clearance limits, and extendable trailers carry long items such as girders and blades.

Project schedules leave no room for surprises. You get a direct line to our team, clear communication through each stage and a transporter that treats ODC as its core work. Our tagline says it best: Nothing is Impossible, Everything Possible.

The more we know early, the faster we can plan. Useful details include general arrangement drawings, transport dimensions and weight, centre of gravity, lifting and lashing points, the pickup location and loading method, the site address and any access restrictions at site.
