Out of Gauge & Heavy Haulage
At FF Customs & Logistics, our Out of Gauge (OOG) and Heavy Haulage division provides the specialist expertise required to move abnormal, oversized, or project cargo with complete precision and care. These are not standard shipments — they’re technically demanding operations that demand detailed planning, coordination, and execution from start to finish.
From large industrial machinery, turbines, and transformers to prefabricated structures and renewable energy components, our experienced project team manages every movement with a safety-first mindset and technical precision. Every load is unique, and we work closely with each client to develop a bespoke transport plan that covers every detail — from route planning and permits to lifting, securing, and delivery.
Our heavy haulage projects start well before the transport begins. We carry out comprehensive route surveys to identify bridge heights, turning radii, gradients, and access restrictions, ensuring a safe and efficient passage. We also handle permit acquisition, escort coordination, and liaison with local authorities and police, ensuring that every movement is legally compliant and fully controlled.
To support complex operations, we can also provide cranes, lifting teams, and specialist handling equipment directly at customer premises. This allows us to manage the entire process on-site — including loading, lifting, and positioning of cargo — using equipment such as mobile cranes, gantries, forklifts, and hydraulic jacks. By supplying and coordinating these resources, we eliminate the need for multiple contractors and ensure the loading phase is completed safely, efficiently, and in full alignment with the transport plan.
Our modern fleet includes extendable low loaders, multi-axle modular trailers, hydraulic platforms, and specialised heavy-duty transporters, all operated by skilled professionals trained in handling high-value and over-dimensional cargo. Every move is supported by detailed risk assessments, load securing plans, and real-time monitoring, guaranteeing full safety compliance and total transparency.
With extensive experience across the construction, energy, oil & gas, infrastructure, and manufacturing sectors, we’ve built a strong reputation for delivering on complex and large-scale logistics projects both within the UK and internationally.
At FF Customs & Logistics, we understand that these are more than just shipments — they are critical, high-value assets. Each Out of Gauge or Heavy Haulage project is meticulously planned, managed, and monitored from the first site visit to final delivery, giving our clients complete confidence that their cargo is in capable, experienced hands.
Our commitment is simple: precision, safety, and reliability, every step of the way.
