From route surveys and engineering studies to multi-modal transport planning and crane operations, our experienced project team manages every aspect of your critical cargo delivery. Serving the oil and gas, power generation, infrastructure, and renewable energy sectors, we bring proven expertise and local knowledge to the most challenging transport assignments.

Heavy and Oversized Cargo Transport

166 Global specializes in the transport of heavy, oversized, and out-of-gauge cargo that requires specialized equipment and expertise.

• Heavy Lift Operations: Transport of individual pieces weighing from 50 tonnes to over 500 tonnes using specialized trailers, cranes, and rigging equipment.
• Oversized Cargo: Movement of extra-wide, extra-long, and extra-high loads requiring police escorts, route modifications, and infrastructure assessments.
• Modular Transport: Hydraulic platform trailers (SPMT) for extremely heavy and sensitive equipment such as transformers and reactor vessels.
• Barge and Vessel Loading: Coordination of cargo loading and discharge at ports and riverside locations using floating cranes and shore equipment.

Route Surveys and Engineering Studies

Before any project cargo movement, our engineering team conducts thorough assessments to ensure safe and efficient transport.

• Route Surveys: Detailed assessment of road conditions, bridge load capacities, overhead clearances, and turning radii along proposed transport routes.
• Engineering Analysis: Structural analysis of cargo securing, load distribution, and transport stress calculations for each unique piece.
• Permit Management: Procurement of all necessary transport permits, police escorts, and road closure authorizations across multiple jurisdictions.
• Risk Assessment: Comprehensive risk evaluation with contingency planning for weather, road conditions, and technical challenges.

Multi-Modal Project Planning

Complex project cargo often requires combining multiple transport modes for optimal delivery.

• Sea-Road Combinations: Port discharge to final site delivery using combinations of vessels, barges, and specialized road transport.
• Rail-Road Solutions: Heavy cargo movement by rail to the nearest accessible point, followed by road transport to the project site.
• Air Charter Integration: Urgent project components transported by air charter with ground logistics coordination for site delivery.
• Caspian Crossings: Project cargo movement across the Caspian Sea using Ro-Ro ferries and specialized vessel arrangements.

Crane Operations and Site Logistics

Our project logistics capabilities extend to on-site handling and installation support.

• Mobile Cranes: Deployment of mobile cranes from 50 to 1000 tonnes capacity for cargo lifting and positioning at project sites.
• Rigging and Lashing: Expert cargo securing using certified rigging equipment, custom cradles, and engineered lashing systems.
• Site Preparation: Ground reinforcement, temporary road construction, and turning area preparation for heavy transport access.
• Installation Support: Coordination with EPC contractors for cargo placement onto foundations and mounting positions.
