PROJECT & HEAVY-LIFT CARGO

Moving what won't fit on a standard trailer

Project cargo isn't booked, it's engineered. Every oversized, overweight, or high-value shipment starts with a route survey and a load drawing before a single wheel turns. ELCO World plans, permits, and delivers heavy-lift and out-of-gauge cargo for industrial and energy projects worldwide.

LOAD ENVELOPE

Every shipment starts as a drawing, not a booking

Before transport mode or route is confirmed, our engineers model the cargo's dimensions, weight distribution, and clearance envelope — the same drawing that later becomes the basis for permits, escorts, and site lifting plans.

CAPABILITY DATASHEET

Capacity & scope

A single point of reference for what our project cargo division can plan, permit, and physically move — used by engineers and operations teams alike during early feasibility discussions.

Max Load Weight
500+ metric tons per unit, higher with multi-trailer or barge configurations.
Max Dimensions
Up to 60 m length, 9 m width, and 7 m height — route dependent, confirmed by survey.
Transport Modes
Heavy-lift vessel, SPMT (self-propelled modular transporter), modular trailer, barge, and rail.
Engineering Services
Route survey, swept-path modelling, load & stress calculation, lashing and securing plans.
Permits & Escorts
Multi-jurisdiction permit coordination with police, pilot, and utility escort arrangement.
Site Services
Lifting, jacking, skidding, ballasting, and positioning support at origin and destination.
CARGO CATEGORIES

What we move

Refinery and petrochemical module transport

Wind turbine blade transport
LONG LOAD

Wind Energy Components

Blades, nacelles, and tower sections needing swept-path route surveys.

Mining and construction machinery transport
SELF-PROPELLED

Mining & Construction Machinery

Excavators, cranes, and processing units moved whole or partially disassembled.

Marine and offshore structure transport
RO-RO · LO-LO

Marine & Offshore Structures

Jackets, modules, and hulls handled through specialized quayside operations.

Rail and transit vehicle transport
FLATBED · RAIL

Rail & Transit Vehicles

Locomotives and rolling stock transported and commissioned with technical escort.

HOW A MOVEMENT IS PLANNED

Four engineering stages, in order

STAGE01

Site & Route Survey

Physical and digital survey of the route — bridges, overhead lines, turning radii, and ground bearing capacity — to confirm the cargo can actually reach site.

STAGE02

Engineering & Load Study

Structural calculations, lashing and securing design, and a method statement covering every lift and transfer point.

STAGE03

Permits & Escort Coordination

Approvals secured across every jurisdiction on the route, with police, pilot, and utility escorts scheduled around the move.

STAGE04

Execution & Delivery

Transport, lifting, and site positioning carried out against the approved plan, with real-time supervision to the final foundation point.
