đ Exceptional Wide-Load Transport (5 Meters) from Belgium to France: A Perfectly Executed Operation by Kaltrucks
At Kaltrucks, we specialize in wide-load exceptional transport across Europe. Our expertise and our modern fleet allow us to safely handle oversized cargo, even the most complex and demanding ones.
We recently completed a 5-meter-wide exceptional transport from Belgium to France, once again demonstrating our ability to manage large-scale logistics operations with precision, safety, and full regulatory compliance.
đ Wide-Load Transport: A Real Logistical and Regulatory Challenge
Transporting loads wider than 4 meters requires strict preparation and compliance with multiple regulations:
-
Authorized and pre-approved route planning for each country crossed
-
Special transport permits in Belgium and France
-
Mandatory escort vehicles
-
Ongoing communication with authorities to ensure road safety
Kaltrucks executed this mission with rigor, anticipation, and professionalism, guaranteeing a smooth transport from start to finish.
