Heavy Haul & Project Cargo
Course Overview
This two-day programme covers the specialist logistics of heavy haul and project cargo movements across Africa. Moving oversized, overweight, and high-value equipment requires careful planning, specialised equipment, regulatory approvals, and experienced execution teams.
Participants will learn how to plan project cargo shipments from engineering surveys through to final delivery, including route analysis, abnormal load permits, specialised trailer selection, escort requirements, and the management of multi-modal project cargo movements across African corridors.
Case studies from major African infrastructure projects, mining equipment deliveries, and power plant installations provide practical context for the planning methodologies and execution techniques covered in the programme.
