WCS PERMITS & PILOT CARS
A superload, like an over-dimensional (oversize/overweight) load, exceeds a certain height, width, length or weight. These dimensions will vary by state. Like standard oversize loads, superloads can’t be broken down or divided to reduce it’s size; they are non-divisible. Loads become superloads when they exceed an agency’s threshold for standard oversize and or weight. Superloads require additional information about the load and vehicle, are more difficult to obtain, and usually have much stricter guidelines that must be followed. A superload transport involves extremely heavy and large equipment.
Superload permits, including superload coordination and route surveying, is a complex task and WCS has a dedicated superload department so you can transport extremely heavy and large equipment safely and at ease.
WCS provides route surveys needed for superload transports and works closely with state and local government to ensure safe and on time service. WCS will propose an alternate route for any superload when certain highways, roads and bridges are not adequate for the load transportation.
Sometimes superload transport takes a lot of planning prior to applying for any permits. The experts at WCS Permits provide logistics consulting so you can discuss your project prior to moving. WCS will advise on additional services needed for a superload like traffic control, including lane restrictions, closures, flaggers and more.
With the help of WCS’ superload team, companies have moved some extraordinary loads from California’s longest and heaviest load known as “The Road Train,” a 340-ton boulder called “The Rock” (or levitated mass), and a space shuttle fuel tank as tall as a 15-story building just to name a few.
WCS keeps routing databases and works closely with state and local government to ensure safe and on time superload transport.
Superload coordination is complex, and we work hard to help you save time, optimize your route, increase efficiency, and communicate with you about the superload transport in real-time.
