Over Dimension Cargo (ODC) refers to shipments that exceed the standard dimensions of standard truck beds. This usually includes heavy industrial generators, wind turbine blades, boilers, or construction equipment. Moving these oversized structures across state borders in India presents complex legal and physical challenges.
Understanding Dimensions and Permissions
The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) in India enforces strict limits on height, width, and axle load weights. Any transport exceeding these regulations requires special permits from local RTOs and structural approvals for bridges and underpasses along the route.
The Importance of Pre-Route Surveys
Before moving an ODC shipment, a detailed route survey is mandatory. This helps identify overhead obstacles (such as power lines), tight turning radii, and weak bridges. With our zero-damage history, Nisha Roadways utilizes route survey experts and GPS monitoring systems to ensure specialized cargo reaches its destination safely.
