About the Legal Obligations regarding Oversize and Heavy Transport Services:

In each country, it is required to apply the relevant authority for a permit for such transportation operations, specifying the Length x Width x Height of the Loaded Vehicle, and for the transportation to be carried out on a route with infrastructure suitable for the weight of the Loaded Vehicle. And again, taking into account the size of the Loaded Vehicle, for the realization of Oversize and Heavy Transport Operations on a certain route and time period, if the load to be transported and the size of the Loaded Vehicle requires it, said authority issues a permit on the condition that Civilian Pilots and, if necessary, Police Escort Vehicles shall be used for traffic safety purposes during the course of transportation.
