Oversized Cargo Transport from China

Oversized Cargo Transport from China

Trinity Shipping specializes in transporting oversized and heavy cargo from China by road. We handle the full cycle: selecting specialized vehicles, route planning, obtaining permits, customs clearance, and delivery to the final destination.

Oversized cargo requires a non-standard approach at every stage. Dimensions and weight exceed the limits of regular trucks, so the shipment must be planned from scratch: which vehicle to use, which route to take, which permits to obtain, how to cross the border. We solve all of these tasks as a single turnkey service.

Advantages

Specialized vehicles

Low-loaders, extendable trailers, multi-axle platforms — matched to your cargo dimensions and weight.

Permit handling

All road and border crossing permits arranged — we deal with authorities on your behalf.

Route engineering

Optimal route considering bridges, tunnels, power lines — every obstacle mapped and accounted for.

Turnkey service

From factory gate in China to your site in Russia — one contract, one point of contact for the entire shipment.

What we transport

We handle cargo that cannot be shipped in a standard container or on a regular flatbed truck. Typical examples include:

  • Industrial equipment — CNC machines, presses, injection molding machines, production lines.
  • Construction machinery — excavators, cranes, bulldozers, concrete plants.
  • Metal structures — bridge sections, pipes, beams, tanks.
  • Energy equipment — transformers, turbines, generators, wind tower sections.
  • Other oversized items — yachts, modular buildings, agricultural equipment.

If the cargo exceeds standard dimensions (length over 13.6 m, width over 2.55 m, height over 4 m, or weight over 20 tonnes), it qualifies as oversized and requires special transportation arrangements.

How we work

  1. Cargo assessment. You provide cargo dimensions, weight, and photos. We evaluate the shipment and select the appropriate vehicle type.
  2. Route planning. We map the route from the factory in China to your site in Russia, identifying all restrictions: low bridges, narrow roads, weight-limited sections, border crossings.
  3. Permits and documentation. We obtain all necessary road permits, border crossing authorizations, and escort vehicle arrangements. We prepare the full set of documents for customs clearance.
  4. Loading and transport. The cargo is loaded at the supplier's facility, secured on the specialized trailer, and transported along the approved route with escort vehicles where required.
  5. Customs and delivery. We handle customs clearance at the border and deliver the cargo to the final destination, including unloading coordination if needed.

Questions and answers

Cargo is classified as oversized if it exceeds standard road transport dimensions: length over 13.6 m, width over 2.55 m, height over 4 m, or total vehicle weight over 44 tonnes. Such shipments require special permits and often escort vehicles.

A special road transport permit is required in each country along the route. In Russia, the permit is issued by the Federal Road Agency (Rosavtodor) or regional road authorities. In China, analogous permits are issued by provincial transport departments. We handle all permit applications for both countries, including border crossing authorizations.

There is no fixed upper limit — each case is assessed individually. We regularly handle cargo weighing 40-80 tonnes and measuring up to 20-30 m in length. For exceptionally heavy or large loads (100+ tonnes), we arrange multi-axle modular trailers and plan the route with reinforced bridge crossings.

Transit time depends on the route and cargo dimensions. Typical delivery from eastern China to European Russia takes 20-35 days by road. Permit processing adds 10-20 business days. We provide an estimated timeline after assessing your specific cargo and destination.

Yes, we arrange cargo insurance for the full value of the shipment. Insurance covers damage, loss, and force majeure events during the entire route from China to the delivery point in Russia. The insurance cost is included in our quote or can be arranged separately at your request.
