Do large machines need special transport permits?

Most machines fit on a standard low-loader or HIAB lorry without any special permission. Very wide, long or heavy loads fall under abnormal load rules and need advance notice to the police and highway authorities, and sometimes bridge owners, before they can travel. We check the dimensions and arrange this where it applies.
