How do we ensure transport safety?
At OVI SPEED TRUCK, every bulk transport is planned step by step:
1. Checking the dimensions and weight of the cargo
Before each shipment, our team accurately measures and evaluates the dimensions and weight of the cargo. This step is essential for choosing the optimal route, obtaining the necessary permits and preventing risks on the road.
2. Choosing the optimal route (avoiding low bridges, weight restrictions)
We plan the route in detail, taking into account bridges, weight restrictions and high-traffic areas. Thus, we ensure that the transport is carried out without delay and in complete safety
3. Cargo assurance through certified systems
We use modern anchoring and clamping equipment, in accordance with European norms, to protect the cargo throughout the transportation. Cargo safety is our priority
4. Authorised escort and permanent monitoring
Each large transport is accompanied by authorized escort vehicles, which ensure the safety of the convoy and compliance with the route. Permanent monitoring via GPS guarantees control and quick reaction in any situation.
