🚚 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.

🔍 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.

🚧 A Fully Controlled Operation: From Belgium to France

✅ Loading in Belgium

Loading took place in southern Belgium at an industrial facility specialized in metal structure production. The convoy preparation included:

  • Precise measurement of the load

  • Setup of an extra-wide low-loader with lateral wideners

  • Coordination with Belgian authorities for escorted departure authorization

✅ Optimized and Secure Route

Our logistics team designed a suitable route avoiding low-clearance structures and dense urban areas. Preparations included:

  • Analysis of bridges, tunnels, and clearance limits

  • Coordination with road authorities

  • Compliance with restricted transit schedules (night passages, off-peak hours)

✅ Arrival and Autonomous Unloading in France

The convoy reached the delivery site in northern France without incident.
Our specialized drivers managed the autonomous unloading, reducing delays and optimizing client costs.

🚨 The Essential Role of Escort Vehicles

For a 5-meter-wide transport, escort vehicles are mandatory. The mission included:

  • Two escort cars (front + rear)

  • Safe overtaking and crossings

  • Real-time traffic management

  • Immediate response to unexpected conditions
