Not every freight forwarder will carry heavy cargo. If you are going to transport heavy loads, then this is the first thing you should definitely remember.

First, let's understand what we mean by heavy loads. According to international standards, heavy cargo is cargo with a weight and volume greater than the norm. Depending on the mode of transportation, cargo standards are different. For example, in the case of automobile transportation, cargo weighing more than 38 tons is considered heavy, and the vehicle is also included in the weight. Heavy cargo is mainly production equipment, military equipment, and vehicles.

Considering that the transportation of heavy loads can damage the roads, different countries provide certain taxes for such cases. Different countries can set their own weight and volume standards.

Therefore, when transporting heavy cargo, it is important to consider where the goods are going, what standards are there, what taxes are planned. In addition, be sure to pay attention to this, there may be bridges and tunnels on the way of cargo transportation, through which certain fees are also required for transportation.

Due to this very problem, the transportation of heavy cargo can be quite expensive than the transportation of standard sized cargo. In addition, in some countries you may be required to obtain a permit from the government authorities to carry out the transportation of heavy cargo.

As we have noticed, in order to transport heavy loads, you need to choose vehicles designed for them. These measures must have both adequate dimensions and capacity. In other words, they have to withstand the volume and weight of the load. It is here that choosing the right shipping company becomes the most important issue.

The freight forwarder should not only provide equipped vehicles, but also be aware of all the above-mentioned important points. The question arises: how to choose such a cargo carrier that will bring heavy cargo to Armenia and take it out of the borders of our country.
